Meikyo Nidan 明鏡二段
Meikyo Nidan is a kata created by Tetsuhiko Asai Sensei. You can see the addition of more circular movements, as he had a preference for these types of movements.
Sensei Andre Bertel, one of Asai Sensei's top students, wrote a blog entry about the history of the three Meikyo kata, which may lend some helpful information for understanding these kata.
