I have done wado rye karate for about 3 years. As far as i know there are only a few ryu which do kata with open hand. Each move has a reason, attack or defend.

One thing which you are being taught in karate is that your foot needs to move when you punch or kick. The way this guy is teaching this kata you can't see the positioning of his feet. Beside that i think that karate in hakama would be pretty uncomfortable.

I didn't see much that looked like either karate or jiu jiutsu.

Funny thing is that kenpo is chinese if i am not mistaken. It's also called chinese karate.
