I was lucky that one of those Marines opened his dojo a half hour from the small Iowa town I grew up in. I was only able to train with him for about six months. It took me 23 years to make it back. After another 8 years of training, I earned my Shodan last month.
Isshin was my first Okinawan Karate style I ever trained in. Since then, I trained in Uechi Ryu and Southern Praying Mantis, but, I've always held a soft spot for Shimabuku's style.
I began Isshin Ryu in 1964 and went on with GoJu Ryu and Mu Dong Kung Fu over the decades. Now 60 years later I revere Isshin Ryu for its deep spiritual foundation. "Still water runs deep".
Isshin-Ryu Karate is made from the 5 Systems: Shoyabashi Shorin-Ryu Karate Koyabashi Shorin-Ryu Karate Goju-Ryu Karate Motobu-Ryu Udon Ti / Te Kobudo (Okinawan Weaponry) Much respect and gratitude for this Presentation.
Interesting presentation... in my opinion, only truth matters. Either a style works or it doesn't. Determining what works is key... against what someone may face today; BJJ, Judo, Wrestling, Muay Thai, MMA have taken center stage, because they work in actual combat. If a style doesn't work today, against these other arts, then it will either adapt or die out. When I was a kid, Karate was all the rage, then in the 90's it failed miserably against BJJ in UFC. Now all I see are children studying Karate and adults studying other arts.

Isshin Ryu and Judo are all most people will ever need

Kali and Arnis styles of filipino karate may be interesting

KishimotoDi karate
Silambam and Kuttu Varisai
Humility and respect leads to knowledge while fools rejoice in unfounded pride.

Traitor.
