@MrNickjannini it's spelled Yamanni-ryu

This looks like one of Shotokan's versions of Wankan.

This is most certainly not Matsubayashi-Ryu's version of Wankan. It looks much different. The movements are based on the same concepts and are executed in the same general area of motion, but there are still distinct differences.

Not at all. I am very familiar with their kata and this is not even Okinawan Karate at all.
