I used to train in Isshin-ryu karate about 6 years ago, but got away from the style and switched to Chinese kempo. However, recently, I have been reviewing the Isshin-ryu kata in order to prepare for promotion within the style.

I hold a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Isshin-ryu and am preparing for 3rd Degree. My problem lies in the fact that the instructor that I trained under had changed the traditional kata in order to make them more competitive at tournaments. Therefore, I have no idea as to how the forms are supposed to be performed.

Could someone offer some advice or a site where they might have the forms in video format?
