Karate style statistic

[searcher]

Main style: Chito-ryu.

 

Don't confuse Shorei-kan and Shorei-ryu(whether Trias' style, Higaonna style, or Aragaki style), they are different.

Shorin-ryu, and soon full contact enshin! wanna figure out though what kind of shorin-ryu i'm practicing now... how many kinds are there?

[Gungrave]

Bushido-Kai.........why am I the only one?

[P.A.L]

CapitalKarate, there are 4 major shorin ryu styles

 

1- Matsomura seito (you can say this the original)

 

2- Kobayashi shorin ryu (shorinkan)

 

3- Shobayashi shorin ryu (shaolin)

 

4- Matsubayashi shorin ryu

 

tell us about your katas and grand masters so we may find out about you lineage.

i have no idea who our grandmasters are, so far my sensei hasn't gotten into any kind of teaching of such history (perhaps due to the fact that i'm still only a 10 kyu (yellow w/o stripe). but for katas, the ones i know about are in order from white belt up... kihon ippon, kihon nihan, kihon sanbon, fukyu dai ichi, fukyu dai ni, fukyu dai san, fukyu no kata. so far thats all i know about. i know we do the pinan katas, and some other kata name starting with an h. i'll do some research to see if i can recognize what those katas are.

[P.A.L]

to me it looks like matsubayashi shorin ryu.

[CapitalKarate]

thanks PAL, one thing about it though... my sensei teaches us to kick above the belt, and only above the belt, is that how you're supposed to kick?

Hi, I was expecting more shotokan and more kyokushin-kai people. I also learnt of many styles I didn't know the existence.

[Shorinryu Sensei]

Three guesses, and the first two don't count.

 

Ditto!

My club is Shotokan...although in practice there's a 'bit of everything' in there.

 

There's a big JuJitsu, Judo and Okinawan influence on how we train.
