The circular stepping pattern of Goju Ryu has both offensive and defensive meaning to it....something that linear stepping doesnt afford you.....also, the circular blocking methods of Goju allow you to blend with the incoming technique, giving you the opportunity to trap and lock, whereas the linear blocking method only enables the practicioner to block the incoming technique by "banging" it away. Sanchin is a kata generally takes about 3 years to really "get", It is a form of "standing chi gung", and "moving zen".

dingyuan,

 

Shorin ryu comes from Shaolin kenpo and okinawan “Tode”, Tomari-Shuri-te or what we mostly call shuri-te is a speedy method compare to more powerful method of Naha-te

 

It is also apply more linear blocking compare to soft circular blocking of Naha-te , a good shuri-te block even without reaction hand(when it gets the power from abdomen) can damage the opponent forearm and elbow severely.It is also consider to be more offensive compare to more defensive Naha-te. Steps are natural and narrow, in attacks when you slide with front leg ,the back leg just follows and drag to it’s natural fighting position.the

 

Most famous kata of shuri-te is Kusanku, weapons of okinawa has lot to do with a shuri master called chatan yara.

 

We have 4 major shuri styles,

 

1- Matsumura seito ( very pure shuri style goes back to bushi Matsumura the famous student of “Tode Sakagawa creator of Kusanku kata and student of Kusanku himself)

 

2- Shobayashi shorin ryu(by Eizo Shimabukuro) ,the lineage goes to sensei Kyan

 

3- Matsubayashi shorin ryu(by Nagamine) lineage goes to Sensei Kyan and tomari-te

 

4- Kobayashi shorin ryu(by chibana) lineage goes to itosu , this is what I practice as shorin ryu ,it has 6 kihon katas, 3 Naihanchi,5 pinan
