Thanks for all the input. So far it looks like most of what I'm reading is tending to point toward Wado Ryu as being the most soft of all.

I'm new to Karate and haven't started yet but was thinking about it. I've done some research on the internet about the hardess/softness of the four main styles of Karate. Here's what I've found out so far: Shotokan is hard and external Wado-Ryu is soft and internal Shorin-Ryu is soft and internal Chito-Ryu is ??? I can't seem to find out how hard or soft Chito-Ryu is. Regardless, my question is this: Of the four styles, which one is the softest of all? Many thanks,
