I was promoted to Nidan in the 1980's through the Harry Smith/Harry Acklin lineage. Stopped Isshin-Ryu because of job and relocation and have studied other martial arts to instructor level. I do consider Isshin-Ryu my base style. I've always been interested, confused, and sometimes frustrated seeing the different versions of Isshin-Ryu, but your explanation as to why they exist makes a lot of sense. Back in the day, I worked out over the years with guys influenced by those in Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Tennessee. All good men and women.
I am so glad I stumbled across this. I received my black belt under Sensei Ken Richardson in 1985. I really appreciate your insights. Many thanks and hope to see more.
I am from Knoxville and the roots of Isshinryu runs deep here thanks to Grandmaster Long and his student Grandmaster Pete Mills. Thanks for this great history lesson.
Our Karate Dojo in Rochester changed over to Mu Dong Kung Fu under Grand Master Sam Wong where I spent my last 20 years of training. Current Grand Master is Rick Caffaro. This is an 'Iron Shirt' style that will make you very strong. Worth Looking into. I am 80 and currently retired in Florida where you can still find me doing some Chi Gung in the back yard. The club's name is 'James Merolillo Kung Fu' 183 St. Paul St.
I stumbled on this RUclips video by accident. I heard the name Larry Dreher. I remember seeing him do bo kata at a tournament in Greenville, MS when I was a green belt. WOW!!! I studied under Chuck Chau in Greenwood, MS for five years, earning my shodan in 1981 shortly before moving to NC where I have taught Isshinryu since late 1982 until this day. Chau mentioned Pogue Sensei's name at the bow-in every class. Looks like you all had a good day of training.
When I was a kid in the 60s I used to go to the Royal theater on 7 mile rd. Across the street was Tang Soo Doo. Probably the same place. I ended up training somewhere.
He goes into the history of Isshin Ryu & that it has evolved overtime to approximately 5 different lineages depending on when & from whom the techniques were taught.
I started training in Isshinryu under Sensei Pogue in 1972. It's always great to see him and learn from him. Thank you for this video.

Good stuff, looks a lot like American kenpo freestyle self defense techniques
Great point sir. Former Shotokan and Al Tracy Kenpo guy here, and I was thinking the same thing. Especially #7 and the later 5 punch combos.
I have a close friend who is one of Advincula's students. Robert Holley is his name. Very talented martial artist.
Where can we find his videos?
very happy thanks. is this strictly isshinryu techniques?
Yes it is.
