何年もナイハンチを練習していると、その原型とそもそもの伝承を知りたくなってくる。いろいろ検索していたところ、ナイハンチ（鉄騎）二段・三段は糸洲氏創作という説の他、元々一つの型を3つにバラしたものだという説があった。
元々、玄制流にはナイハンチは一つしかない。大学空手部では当時、鉄騎二段・三段は糸洲氏の創作と聞いていたので、後付けで創作された型なんか興味ない、と思って覚えなかった。ただ、元々一つの型という説を見つけると、もし原型に出会ったときに二段・三段を知らなかったら気づけないこともあるかも知れないと思い、自主トレを始めてから改めて覚えた。
新たに型を覚えようとすると、流派・会派毎に似て非なる型の何と多いことか。大学空手部で使っていた「空手道－専門家に贈る」で覚えることとした。話が脱線するが、この教範は新体道への移行を思わせるような、かなり大きな動きに改変されており、本来の型とは異なる。学生時代から思っていたことであるが久しぶりに見てその感をさらに強く持った。ただ、全ての動作を写真で示してあるので、動きを意図的に大きくしていること、一部改変されていること等を知った上であれば新たに型を覚える際にとても判り易い。
ナイハンチの原型を探していたところ、確か北欧だと思うけれどKO-DO-RYUと言うところの動画でナイハンチの原型と称する型を見つけた。よく見ると、型の構成は鉄騎初段から三段を足し合わせた様なものである。本物かどうかは判らないが、鉄騎二段・三段をやっていなかったら恐らくその型の構成に気付かなかっただろう。やっていて良かったと思う。真偽の程は判らないが、何か伝書があるようなことが書かれていた。

After practicing Naihanchi for many years, I want to know the prototype and the original tradition. While doing various searches, there were theories that the Naihanchi 2nd and 3rd were originally created by Mr. Itosu, and that there originally disassembled one into three types.
Originally, there was only one Naihanchi in the Genseiryu. In the university karate club, I heard that Tekki 2dan and 3dan were created by Mr. Itosu, so I didn't remember Tekki 2dan and 3dan because I didn't care about the kata created afterwards. However, when I first found the theory that there was one type, I thought that it might not be noticed if I did not know the second or third dan when I encountered the prototype, so I learned the second and third dan again.
When trying to learn new katas, how many types are similar to each faction / group. I decided to learn it in "Karate-I give it to an expert" that I used in the university karate club. The story derails, but this teaching has been changed to a rather large movement that reminds me of the transition to Shintaido, and it is different from the original kata. I had been thinking about it since I was a student, but after seeing it for a long time, I felt even more strongly. However, since all the motions are shown in the photograph, it is very easy to understand when learning a new kata if I know that the motion is intentionally increased and that it is partially modified.
When I was looking for a prototype of Naihanchi, I think that it is probably Northern Europe, but I found a kata called Naihanchi prototype in the video called KO-DO-RYU. If I look closely, the structure of the kata is like adding from the first stage to the third stage of Tekki. I don't know if it's a real one, but I probably wouldn't have noticed the composition of that kata if I hadn't played Tekki 2nd and 3rd Dan. I'm glad I was doing it. I didn't know the truth, but it was written that there was some biography.
