I practice Kobayashi Shorin Ryu. All of the kata that I know of is as follows:

Empty Handed:

Kihon Shodan, Nidan, Sandan, Yondan, Godan

Naifanchi Shodan, Nidan, Sandan

Pinan Shodan, Nidan, Sandan, Yondan, Godan

Itsou no Passai

Matsumura no Passai

Kusanku Sho

Kusanku Dai

Tensho

Bo:

Gyosho

Sai:

Ichi no sai

I'll post a more complete list after I go back to class

And as seisan goes, yes, it starts as you suggested. I've posted a video clip as done by my class here. I have video of several other kata if anyone wants to see them, but they must let me know before I post them on the interenet.

first i thought your style is a mixed of Shuri and Naha-te but , obviously your Seisan kata is a Shuri-te, although there sames to be a missing part toward the end( Seisan is so old that there are many different versions),what i don't understand is Tensho among all of these Shuri-te katas.

thanks for the upload, if you got a chance let me see your Kihon #5,Matsunura Passai, Kusanku dai and Tensho.
