Wikipedia definition
1. Naihanchi(or Naifanchi, Tekki) is a karate Kata, performed in straddle stance (naihanchi-dachi / kiba-dachi). It translates to 'internal divided conflict'. The form makes use of in-fighting techniques and grappling. In Shorin-Ryu and Matsubayashi-Ryu Naihanchi Shodan is the first Ni Kyu (Brown Belt Kata) although it is taught to Yon Kyu (Green Belts) occasionally before Evaluations for the Ni Kyu rank. It is also the first Shorin-Ryu kata to start with a technique to the right instead of the left.
