Thank you for the comments! It actually is Soeishi no Kon Dai, but Murakami Sensei told me that Inoue Motokatsu taught it to him as "Sueyoshi no Kon Dai," so thats's what I titled the video :)
I have been training since 1978 and still have difficulty understanding whether the same katas have been spelled differently in english or if they are truly different katas. For example, Suishi, Sushi, Sueishi, Sueyoshi, and Suiyoshi No Kon. Are these all different katas, or are a couple of these the same with different spelling?
That explains why I've never heard of 'Sueyoshi-no-kon-dai' and why the comprehensive kumite of both Sueyoshi and Soeishi are so much alike.

They are a couple with different spellings:
Shushi/Suishi/Shuji are interchangeable.
Sueishi/Soeshi/Soeishi are interchangeable
Sueyoshi/Suiyoshi are interchangeable.
Depends on whether the Okinawan or Japanese spelling is used together with regional variations.
RKHSK use
Shuji
Sueyoshi
Soeshi
Hope this helps

Nice to see Murakami sensei in action. I hope I move that well when I am in my 80's.
