“Shimabuku Tatsuo Sensei tell me, watch Gancho. He number-one kata.” – Kensho Tokumura (student of Sensei Tatsuo Shimabuku 1958-1961)
Tokumura explained that Shimabuku Tatsuo Sensei used to call Advincula "Gancho" which means glasses in Okinanawn language and explained that Shimabuku Tatsuo Sensei also called Advincula "Katagwa". "Katagwa" meaning Kata-man, because he was excellent in kata. The ‘gwa’ meaning ‘small in size’ compared to other Americans.
