- Me performing all 9 Isshinryu Katas (8 official and a dojo kata). I made a few minor mistakes, otherwise it went pretty well.
In order:
1. Ju-Kyu (Dojo Kata)
2. Seisan
3. Seuchin
4. Nahanchi
5. Wansu
6. Chinto
7. Kusanku
8. Sunsu
9. Sanchin
couldnt get a blue belt with katas like this in the Isshinryu School i went to
I respect anyone who gets out there and practices the art with humility. This young man is diligent and skilled and
with work on POWER....could really start to "get it. Remember he is young : )'
Dominus Aurelius Thank you for your kind words. I was contemplating deleting the video entirely because I was sick of getting negative feedback, but you changed my mind & brightened my day!
If a comment I made seemed negative it wasn't meant that way. I just have never seen that variation of Takiyoku before. Your teacher judges you not me.
AJ Anderson
Mr. Anderson, thank you for sharing your art with us. Mr. Brown has given you valuable advice. Slow down. Focus on stances. Focus on individual techniques. How long have you been studying Isshinryu? Each of your katas has a great many positives. There are a number of little things that will help you grow in your art. Start with the basics. End with the basics. They will serve you well. Most off all, don't ever quit!
"don't ever quit" was what got me to Black Belt when I was given LOADS of reasons to quit. Maybe "they" wanted me to quit, but PIG-HEADEDNESS ALONE is the reason I stayed. It can be a positive!
Thanks posting. I appreciate those who are willing to share.
Mr Anderson,
As a black belt instructor myself, let me congratulate you on posting your kata online- very brave! Understand a lot of people are negative, & feel free to give unprofessional feedback, with no instructor qualifications. That being said, be proud of what you have accomplished. Everyone's kata could be better, no one has "arrived." I agree w/some about louder kiai's (though maybe there was reason for the low tone?) & more power on some strikes- it looks as though you were "tickling" on some strikes (though after all those kata's, most would be too!) Good luck on your training sir, wherever you hail from!
I dont care about what anyone says. This young man clearly and cleanly demonstrates what he knows. The work is good. To the naysayers, do you know any martial arts? No? Then dont hate on something you know nothing about. Not everyone is perfect. And kudos to Mr. Anderson for showing his skill. Kata, poomsae, forms. They are in most martial arts. And not to be underestimated. Keep up the strong work
Where did you go AJ, you just dropped off youtube. I hope you are still studying the art. You have to realize anything that you put on the web will get criticized. Don't let people discourage you. You may not perform the moments in this video like Master TS, but you know the forms. You have the rest of your life to perfect the forms once you learn them.
Thank you for the post. I took back in the 80s. Recently I was trying to remember them. Liked seeing them all together.
Take your time fella. Don't rush yourself to complete it.
I know that you may not want to read this but it is important that you understand just how critical and on point you must be when showing people what your style is about. If I came upon your video wanting to know about Isshin-ryu and saw the way that you were doing the Katas and most f the negative comments I wouldn't want anything to do with this style. You must slow down and take your time.Shimabuku,Tatsuo Sensei did not create this style in this way and he wouldn't want anyone to represent it the way that it was in your video, especially by a Black Belt holder. Do another video, but this time slow it down and show proper techniques. Punches, Grabs, To Kicks, ECT.
Where's your video showing how to do it better?
By the same logic where is yours?
The uploader chose to show this and I have to agree there is a lack of.. oomph.
For example, his gedan blocks are so close to his body how could he stop anything? The opponent is going to go through you. All he is using is his shoulder.
Secondly, his "kiyais" are not showing any power or force. They sound like a little whisper. They are meant to surprise someone as well as release EVERYTHING.

hey thanks a lot man. I was looking for a refresher. really appreciate your bravery.
Thank you so much for putting these all in a single video. I achieved first degree brown belt when I was a teenager (in the 80's), and absolutely loved preforming the katas in competition. this has been a great walk down memory lane for me! Thanks again!!
Good job young man... I would suggest slowing down and working on the techniques and stances... you have it all there... now just clean it up... I see true ability and skill in you, you have what it takes... lol... just slow down.
Looks like he taught himself this
That is a great job young man. Reminds me of me 40 years ago! I'm sure yor sensai is proud of your traditional Isshin-ryu display. Good foundation! You'll get even better with time. Promise
Thank you for the video Sir. I would be interested in seeing how you do your kata now 6 years later.
Mr. Anderson--thanks for having this up! Keep in mind many people harshing on you have nothing better to do than tear others down. I study Isshinryu in Southfield, Michigan, and watching your video made me realize the number of small variations between our branch of it and yours. I give you credit for filming them all in a row! (I have this vision of me trying something similar and needing to restart 10-20 times due to huge mishaps over and over--but then, I'm still brown belt...) Keep it up!
I surely remember doing these katas
I would suggest this guy watch MORE videos & get his katas straight, before some poor soul, that DOESN'T know any better, tries to emulate him!
Nice job Mr. Anderson. Very good attitude. Kata is not perfect, but neither is mine, and for that matter, I've been performing Isshinryu kata for 34 years and most people I've ever met have had just pretty good kata. I learn from everyone I meet. I hope you're still practicing, and promoting Master Shimabuku's dream and legacy.
+Carlos Olivares Thank you!
As a fellow isshinryu student, I shall share my wisdom, during sason, you want to dip down Deeper when you break, for you are trying the knock someone off balance, as for nahatch, you should bring your legs higher as is you are stepping out of the mud, and when you sweep your legs, try to get them as high as your knees for you could be hitting a person in the inner thigh, or just not being kicked. It all looks AMAZING

Hey man great job and thanks alot. I'm going to start karate classes soon and i wanted to get a head start. Your video helped alot.
Hey bro. Look i'm not trying to insult you or anything, but you need solid hard work on all your katas. they are sloppy, the stances aren't right, neither are any of the movements. Look don't get insulted. take it as constructive criticism and try to improve. You need to be very careful on how you showcase our style to the rest of the world. honestly speaking, this is not worthy. Speaking from experience as i'm a 4th dan.
Then post a video.
I will. Which kata's video do you want to see?
you're not a black belt!!!
Good job on the katas. I remember being taught up to Nahanchi. I made it to Orange belt and quit for personal reasons. Our drill kata was very similar to your Dojo kata.
What is your lineage if you don't mind me asking?
As of this date, May 12, 2019, I hope your journey in Isshin Ryu Karate has been a positive one. If we don’t excel in the basics, we won’t understand their truest meanings for combining them into full techniques. I hope this comment is accepted in kind.
Learned at a Mc Dojo for Sure. Smh
...it would be interesting to see the progress you've made since '13.
Amazing job just small things you can work on but remember kata can only improve.Your doing great 👍👍☺
Good job AJ. Don't worry about the negative Nelly's. I started at 7 years old and got a Tang Soo Do black belt at 11. I trained 5 days a week, for 4 years because the school was 2 blocks from my house, and I loved it! By the time I was 25, I had another 4 black belts, Isshinryu being one of them. I also have 5 brown belts. I am 52 (50 in my picture to the left), and I despise comments from people that think by a video they can determine your level of expertise, or, that of your instructor. I took the video for what it was......a quick run through, in your back yard. I enjoyed it! After 41 years of being a black belt, the highest rank I have accepted is 6th degree....who gives a crap about how many "degrees" anyone has?
Here's the question....can you defend yourself in a real world fight? If you say yes, then your martial art is relevant!
Frankie.....shut your pie hole.....Douche baggery isn't a good quality!
Keep rock'n AJ!!
Keep up the good work. Little differnt than the way we do them, and what we do. But theres always differences.
I AM THE BLACK BELT 1
Hey I think your kata is awesome man! Your cool! I practice kata and your better than mine! I love your sounds dude! Don't let no one get you down bro!
Punches are to high when they should be to the solar plex you have to think like this fellow KarateKa could your level of skills defend a 250 man off of you . ?
Speed, just slow down a bit, it was confusing watching this the first time, but there are different variations. Also stances
One thing that I wish people would invest more time in with their Kata and overall training is the body mechanics associated with the techniques. What is the most efficient way of using the technique properly to gain the best use out of it? What was its purpose initially? How can it be applied? How were the stances used in combination to offset your opponents balance or put yourself in a position of advantage?
>> I was contemplating deleting the video entirely because I was sick of getting negative feedback
I'm not trying to put you down or anything its just what I saw and if you can correct those things then you will ne a great martial artist.
Great stamina to be able to get through all the empty hand kata. Good job! I thought your Sanchin was pretty good
Had a 1st degree youth brown. Thanks i needed to refresh
Pretty good. Probably deepen your stances a little bit but it may be because you are very tall. I know upto seisan.
Bad ass kata dude!!
Your form is good overall but a bit more snap on the blocks, punches and kicks and a more forceful kei would do you well. Keep on.
Hi, I train at Caywood Karate in Tennessee. I've been doing martial arts for 10 years (TKD for over 6, Isshinryu nearly 4), my sensei is Tony Caywood, his was Scott Shamblin, I honestly don't know after that xD.
I haven't been able to go much anymore due to work schedule, but it's a wonderful dojo. Do you study Isshinryu?
AJ Anderson it took 4 years to be a black belt? That seems fishy but then again I haven't been in a traditional martial art with a belt system for a while.
I also go in Tennessee one heart dojo
Marc Ortega I was 1st degree in like 5 years
it’s a faster system i guess
Trained in Athens, TN. can’t remember what the spot is
@@Azami0001 Ngl I was confused too. Ive been in isshinryu for about 4 years and just onto green. My instructors really want me to get the practice I need and really drill in the fundamentals and basics to progress forward.
Nice job.
I never did learn Sanchin :/ Thanks!
Maybe self taught, my sensei would never promote him to black belt, who knows.sorry just my opinion. This is a very old video maybe you should do another one.
Your downblocks are to close in try to move initial out but not to the side your kicks are decent but make sure you kick with your heel and not your toes it gives you more power and you don't break your toes.
We do juku kata as well. Who is your teacher?
haters gonna hate, you keep doing you and thanks for the vid.
Thanks bro
Sigh.
Isshinryu stances are intentionally narrow, kicks are below the belt, intentionally aimed at the groin.
Your doing them wrong
Hey AJ, have you ever tried doing the Bunkai for each kata?
+Mastersabersmen Yes! It's helpful for understand the application behind the techniques.
This was extremely embarrassing. How did you pass white?
Pretty sure I could do them all in a day. What's al the training for and what does what he just did prove?
Please tell me what part of this needed skill. Name one attribute that he has learned that allows him to perform this, that he didn't have prior to training.
AnonymousBanana please tell me why you're such a raging homosexual
I'm not raging lol. Just stating my opinion, but I do sense a bit of anger in your comments. Might wanna calm down a bit, hold in your cry it's all gonna be okay.
Not trying to be a hater here as it has been said before if you post your katas online you will get a lot of hate.. However he can't even make a fist..
No sir isshinryu kicks are obi high as a fellow martial artist when I see another on down or mislead it's my responsibility to help uplift you whether your style differs any from shotokan to uechi ryu
are there any other components you learned to earn your black belt?
Though I do Shotokan and know very little about Isshinryu, I did find your stances questionable and some of your strikes a bit indecisive.
sorry my last comment was a screw up I never actually ment to leave a comment I was trying read more about ajs comment and accidentally hit the wrong key
Are these the main katas you learned to earn your black belt.?
You also forgot a bunch of other katas
Where is the Bo kata
Not hating but you punch someone like that your gonna break your thumbs
Sunsu not sunshine
In sunshine before the elbow strikes those kicks are round kicks your cat stance is to narrow
Have an eye for detail
alguem pode me informar qual é o problema desse sujeito? ou é só a cara de pau mesmo? kkkk...af.....sem comentarios pra um sujeito desses...
With all due respect, I am not trying to bring you down, but.... We never become masters and there is always something to improve, but these kind of videos bring a bad name for genuine Karate. Looks like just came straight from a mcdojo, villari's or something. kia??? what's kia?/ Again, please don't take it the wrong way.
I'll be waiting for you to link a video of you performing the kata yourself, why don't you show us how it's done?
Again, please understand that I did not mean to disrespect you in any way. After 36 years of training, unlike you, I really don't have anything to proof. By all means, I don't consider myself a master, we are all students. In your case I would learn how to bow first. I understand that you are a beginner, therefore I would mention it in a video description instead of saying "besides few mistakes everything went pretty well" because it didn't, that would save you few negative comments.....and the kia, whatever that is, c'mon??? let's be serious here. Do some research and perhaps start questioning your instructor because obviously that's where the problem is. It is not your fault. As far as me performing? you can visit my dojo, I'm sure you are smart enough to see the name, ask Mr. Google, you can search, you'll find something. Keep on training.
+UnityKarate So where's your video, boy?
A J Anderson be proud of what you have accomplished when I am criticized I work out even harder I understand that there is always room for improvement it takes a life time to become a master please look at my videos of my katas and tell me what you think and be truthful I will tell you that I work out every other day for hours and hours this is the only way to be the real deal my teacher is Dan Horvath is teacher was Pat Kerns both of them fought for this country in war my teacher Dan Horvath went back and got retested by the son of Shimabuku I see Isshinryu in you now bring it out don't give up I am also a member of the Isshinryu Karate Association vice President Mike Calandra in N York also look at his videos I would like to be your friend I see potential now tell me what you think of me Ive been training since I was 14 I am now 44 I took a ten year break for a head injury I am working hard to get back what II had who is your teacher?
What color is your belt, blue or black? I can't tell in the video. I must assume that it's blue. Here's a little helpful "criticism" on Seisan punches:
Punches are popping up, they're too high, not centered, your wrists are bent and your thumbs do not appear locked in. Punches should be like the movement of a piston, straight out, straight back, aimed center to solar plexus, wrists straight, thumbs locked in, elbow following fist. There should be no up/down movement and no elbow throwing. Hard to tell if you're punching with your first two knuckles, but I think you are. The first kata must be your dojo kata. I've never seen it. It looks like a tae kwon do form adapted. Lastly, don't shout "kiai". That's like shouting the word "shout". Make up your own shout or kiai, whatever opens up your chi. In that same vein, when you start doing bo katas, don't call it a "bo staff". That's like saying "bo bo" or "staff staff". It's either a bo or a staff. Not bad for a blue belt. Keep up the good work.
You forgot Shi Shi Bon. It's in between Sauchin and Nahanchi
Horrible as matrisl artist we have to be very honest stances are too shallow kicks have no snap to them and your kicks are at least suppose to be waist high but they look like groin kicks I am 5th degree rokyu by the way practice hard train harder martial arts is just like a sword the less you sharpen it the duller it gets what your doing is not wrong but it lacks enthusiasm and finesse there's always room for improvement bend those knees straighten that back chin level to the floor
He need to work on stretching, His kicks aren't fluid or powerful !!!!
Needs improvement..just keep working on your Kata and bunkai
AJ your seuchin stance is way to narrow you lack power and control and your kia is horrable it is a spirit yell not a whimper.
No power
😂😂😂 OMG lol
No disrespect to you. But you need to find a real teacher. I would not even award a yellow belt due to the sloppy kata.
Let's see a video of you performing them, Frankie
Mr Krabs it is sloppy as the day is long. his seisan stance is the fundamental stance of isshinryu and it is not correct. you cant even get your yellow stripe for hand basics without this.
Hey man. Your kata is very poor. Extremely basic mistakes in every kata. You should take this video down. Think about what fighting application each move has, and remember.. See the attacker, move into position. And strike.
Demonstrate the correct way to do it. Why don't you upload a video yourself?
+Mr Krabs I would attach a video linked to this one if I new how. But I wouldn't want people studying. Only knowing each techniques purpose and performing it correctly is worth it. It would take about 20 minutes each kata
So you're saying that you're all talk and no action? You just enjoy criticizing people on RUclips without proving why their techniques are incorrect?
Get a life.
+Mr Krabs Isshinryu is whole hearted. I will not be forced into action by others words. This kata is garbage. And the guy is wearing a black belt. Email me at James.radovichjr@yahoo.com. I will demonstrate proper form and application. But I won't post a video on RUclips. I have trained in 5 states and 95% of Isshinryu karate ka are just confused and wring. Would get mugged. I love Isshinryu karate and it hurts me to see so many people learning this half ass weak version of it. "Black belts" that can't defend themselves from a drunk that use to wrestle in high school. This guy we are watching... Would get mugged. He knows a basic version of techniques. But against a 250 lb mister. He would get Owned. Because his technique sucks. I can show you the correct way. I will send you a video. But not on RUclips. Just to you. So you can see how powerful Isshinryu is. For knowledge and growth. Assuming you already have a basic understanding
+Mr Krabs and I hate criticizing Isshinryu karate ka. I wish our way of life was taught properly. I call a spade s spade
Your stance are horrible. The dojo I went to wouldn't allow such sloppy footwork. I remember my first lessons well, each class I had to stay in each stance the whole time (1 stance per class). I wasn't allowed to progress until I understood the pros and cons of each stance. Plus, your balance is off. I guess that's the difference between the American and traditional versions being taught.
