I'm not too sure if this still works or if its any good as its an old link I had on my "works" system

I'll be the odd one out and disagree. If he's had a few years in already, he might know a few things. And if he doesn't want to give it up, that's admirable. When I was deployed overseas, that's exactly how I learned as I didn't want to "give it up" while I was gone.

My vote is keep attending your normal classes, but do your Isshin Ryu kata religiously.

I agree. There is nothing wrong with having some reference books lying around. I've got books on styles I've never even studied, and reference them for ideas from time to time.

The two you mention sound like they might have some promise. You may have to bite the bullet and purchase one of them, and see how you like it. What one lacks, the other might contain.

Master Uezu's videos are an incredible reference for learning basics and forms. You can find many of them on youtube. http://youtu.be/gS6IB_0Dx2k Here is a link for Seisan Kata. Also, The encyclopedia of "Isshin Ryu Karate" is an amazing reference. It was co authored by Master Joseph Jennings and Master Uezu.

To answer your question, Google it. I am sure you can find books, videos and reviews.

Is an excellent book packed with information! I have a copy of it for reference, is it enough to self train... Probably not. But if you already have a background in Isshinryu it should be good enough to help you continue to train in what you already know!
