I'm just curious why you have not identified the Dojo as being of ~Isshinryu Karate~ since you have the Lady Water God'ess symbol (Isshinryu No Megami) on the wall and typical of Isshinryu you skip the Red Belt reserving it for the 8th dan of Black and higher. I do not recognize the founders photo on the wall... it does not look like Tatsuo Shimabuku so I presume maybe a master from one of the earlier forms? Shōrin-ryū... Chōshin Chibana? ok I found it... Interesting... :-)
