I have had the pleasure to train with this great man the whole of last week. He flew over together with Hanshi Kisho Inoue and Shihan Ookawa to Sweden where they led a week long seminar. I hope I will get a chance to train with Shihan Okabayashi again.

there are many versions of kobudo kata, from this kata i have seen 17 different versions. still the core(soul) in these kata's remains the same. this is one of the best. also due to the mystical music

As I know both of those kata are called Shushi No Kun in Okinawa. I learnt the short kata in my previous style and now I practice long kata with my current style. I'm not sure whether any traditional school of Kobudo in Okinawa has both two kata (I'm not talking abt new schools, who collected kata from different traditions). I think two of these kata came from two traditions, two lineages..

Also we must not forget that the written kanji is pronounced verey diffrently from China, Okinawa and Japan, even though it looks the same on paper. This is also a problem for researchers of Oriental martial arts.

Abt the two Shushi No Kun Katas... I hv heard, in Okinawa, there exsited many Kobudo kata early days, bt Kobudo was not systamized.. When they saw kata in a village festival from town ppl, they named their kata also with that name.. These kind of things made same kata with different names or vise versa.. Same thing in Karate also, for example, Jion, Sochin, Unsu, Seisan has many different versions (I mean entirely difrn versions).. Kobudo systamized recently..

Sorry I saw the typo after posting. Kisho Inoue is Motokatsu's son who is now the Souke and President of the Ryukyu Kobujutsu Hozon Shinko Kai based in Tokyo.
Shihan Okabayashi is in Tokyo NOT Okinawa.
There is Shuji no Kon Sho, Shuji no Kon Dai and also "old style": Shuji no Koshiki
