Eizo Shimabuku Seiunchin Kata

Although this video is very, very bad, you can still make out the younger brother of Tatsuo Shimabuku, Eizo Shimabuku (at times he went by the Japanese pronuncation "Shimabukuro") performing Seiunchin kata.

It is of course the Tatsuo Shimabuku version of the form.  Not what other students of Chojun Miyagi practuce, which makes one question if Eizo acthally trained with Miyagi.

While Eizo taught "Shorin Ryu", not "Isshinryu" it seems to make the point he got a lot of his karate from Tatsuo.
