@Sasuake1000 You're thinking about the Pinan or Heian kata mostly prevalent in the Shorin systems. The name has been changed to Fukyugata Ichi, and is not part of the standard Isshinryu curriculum. My instructor learned it as well, though I don't know from whom, and teaches it to our kid's class as the movements are much simpler. The reason pinan kata were invented was to break down the complexity of the black-belt kata so it wasn't so alien to newer practitioners if I'm not mistaken.

@Sasuake1000 In the junior ranks which there is 6 of eg; rokkyu, gokyu, yonkyu,sankyu, nikyu, ikyu then after that is the dan ranks. Going upwards to the 10th dan which is judan. Jukyu has never been a kata of Isshin Ryu somebody is just messing with you.

@pyrrhic123 Traditional is the way.

I'm pretty much starting isshin-ryu karate. I am following angis style and I have been learning off and on. But i have to say this mans style is perfect.

The videos of T. Shimabuku that AOKA used to teach kata were of him on the morning before he flew out from Seattle, rather hungover,and done under duress (he didn't want to be taped, and they wouldn't take him to the airport until he'd done them). Those videos as compared to the way Uezu does the kata account for much of the difference, along with adjustments made over the years. From people that actually trained with Shimabuku, Uezu's kata are correct. After all, he was the chosen successor.

An example of classical Okinawan karate. Magnificent even though there are many who will not understand why.
I used to practice and teach in shelby twp MI and would be interested in finding people again out this way that still do Isshin-ryu. I still do practice now and again and when I blank something out it's nice to have these videos of master uezu. Thank you.

@recurvex99, I grew up in St. Clair Shores, MI. Started training in Isshinryu in the late 70s. My brother still studies up there (he's in Mt. Clemens). I'll ask him where he trains and let you know.

@Banjoswagon: He does a great job doesn't he? Keep at it; you'll enjoy the style. Let us know if we can help answer any questions.
