I was surprised myself to learn that there are a lot of schools of Isshinryu that use seiken. I asked AJ Advincula about it personally - he simply replied "they're both good."
Anywho, the techniques here look like Shorin-ryu for sure. I recognize a lot of elements that did make it into Isshinryu (which contains shorin and goju techniques), but the deep stances and higher kicks say shorin to me.
@kurtisabc this is not shotokan. i train shotokan myself and this is definitely not shotokan. looks like ishin ryu or shorin ryu or something like that. just wanted to clarify if someone knows?
OMG how old is this?

@djmoscow I don't think it's isshin mostly because of the fist, Isshin uses a tate tsuki fist and this is clearly seiken
