@Trevoke If you're not getting an answer you want, it's likely that we don't have an expert in Isshin-ryu present to help or there is not enough support to confirm the answer as relevant. This is a common problem (and a reason I've deleted some of my own questions).
@Trevoke Most theories also point to dance predating codified fighting systems; these fighting systems being derived from and taught through dances (being a method of helping the performer learn the movements).
On top of all this, it's not that the question can't be asked, you just need to better demonstrate that the question ties in to martial arts directly... Narrow the question and make it clear how the question relates to martial arts directly.
