Another great performance of Naihanchi kata

Okay, a last clip of a great performance of Naihanchi kata. Be sure to have your sound on. You can close your eyes and know you're listening to something very powerful. This is by Hanshi Zempo Shimabukuro. His father was Zenryo Shimabukuro, senior student of the legendary Chotoku Kyan. I had the great pleasure of spending a good deal of time at his dojo in Okinawa, while there twice with Hanshi Dan Smith, who's trained with Zempo Sensei for over 40 years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHUJAn4XhO8 How does his performance of this kata compare to the others and what thoughts does it bring to mind?
