We were performing the pinan kata's in my dojo. I already knew the Wado Ryu/Shito Ryu version of the pinans. My sensei said that they should be very similiar. However I was totally confused when we had to perform. And was all over the place. Everyone was doing totally diffrent moves! I thought Oyama learnt his pinans from Funakoshi. So wouldn't they be similiar if not the same? Alot of the Pinan moves seemed to include Goju Ryu moves. Yet I wasn't aware that Goju Ryu taught the Pinan katas. Anyone have any idea why Oyama changed the pinan katas? Or if he was taught a diffrent version?

He changed the Pinans to best represent the style of karate he was developing. Kyokushin is based on the theory of circle and point, so the movements in the pinans we do are much more circular,than they would be in other styles.

I checked 5 pinan in your style ,they are almost 90% same as ours, i had the same problem when i was practicing Shindo jenin and Kenshin kai at the same time.
