47MartialMan Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Shotokan Karate has its roots mainly in Shorin- Ryu; which, is considered by some pratitioners to be the sister style (aka Rivals) of Goju- Ryu. The founder of Shotokan, Gichin Funakoshi, was a traditional Okinawan Shorin- Ryu Stylist. As well as a few other disciplines. I think that your best bet is to research the history and origins of Shotokan to better understand its present state in comparicon to Goju- Ryu. In essence, I am not doing a comparison or historical gathering. But, I understand your point.
