I posted this thread to meet others who train in Karate in Virginia. I personally train at Brian Hobson's Karate Studio in Hampton, VA and our style is Shorin Ryu. Where do others train in VA? Tell us your style and name of Dojo if you would like......

I study Okinawan Shorin Ryu Karate and I was wondering what's the difference in other styles of Karate, such as Japanese styles or American styles? I am interested to know your thoughts on Shorin Ryu and which styles is most popular, preferred, or effective.

I really like Shorin-Ryu as well. This week I have had the opportunity to study under and meet Hansi Seiei Nakaza, 9th Dan. He is a special guest instructer at Brian Hobson's Karate Studio in Hampton, VA. 1st Annual Kiyobukan Summer Camp. Featured instructor: Hanshi Seiei Nakaza, 9th Dan (formerly of the Shorinkan)

Shorin-Ryu 10th Kyu

I am currently taking Shorin-Ryu Karate with a great instructor. I wanted to hear from others who have trained in this style of karate. How does this style measure up to other styles of karate? How does karate overall measure to some of the martial arts styles? I really enjoy my training just wanted to hear others take on shorin-ryu.
