ALL great posts. When I took lessons from this sensei 20 years ago, the "hypnosis" part was only a clearing of the mind and a bit of meditation. Still, I can see a mish-mash of styles. The first kata, fu-ku-gata-ichi, is found (similarily) in quite a few styles. Wado, Isshyn?, Shorin and Shito so far. I think I am S.O.L. Thanks

Thanks for the post. I have the style narrowed to Shorin-ryu and Shito-ryu. Still not convinced either way. His sensei's website is https://www.annarino.com if this helps anyone to help me. domo arigato gozaimaus

I am looking for a few good instructional dvds/tapes of katas for my son. I have been searching around, and I'm not quite sure which style he is learning. Several of the kata names appear in several different styles. His first kata is Fu-Ku-Gata-Ichi, then Fu-Ku-Gata-Ni, Pinan-Sho-Dan, Pinan-Ni-Dan, Pinan-San-Dan, Pinan-Yon-Dan, Pinan-Go-Dan, Shodan-Heian and about 17 more.
