If you search 'Shito-Ryu Kata' on YouTube, you will find "Shito-kai kata" rather than "Seito Shito-ryu kata".
Note: Our Shito-ryu is 'Seito Shito-ryu', the style that founded by Shito-ryu founder, Kenwa Mabuni, and succeeded by his son, Kenzo Mabuni. Please do not learn details from other 'Shito-ryu' kata videos as they are most likely different.
