 The Bohan's and Family website in an effort to archive as much Isshin-Ryu history as possible has put together this list of Isshin-Ryu videos on You Tube.   This is being done for historical purposes only.   In no way do we stand behind any of these performances - be them good, bad, or different. 

NOTE: if we have missed a video please submit the link to the webmaster and it will be added to the list. @ chinto@cox.net
