Sho-ju Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 How similar are the two styles in terms of kata? Does Shito use more zenkutsu then shorin in kata? Do they use side kicks in place of front kicks, as does shotokan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 The difference in Hayashi ha shito ryu and Shotokan lie mostly in cat stance vs kokutsu dachi and the prevalance of shiko dachi's in the shito ryu katas. Many of the zenkutsu dachi's and kiba dachi's in shotokan were replaced by shiko dachis in shito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted T. Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I've noticed my Shito Ryu friends do their shutos different from our Shorin-ji shutos. Their action we call a palm heel block and they don't have anything analogus to our sword hand shuto. Ted TruscottThe Raising Canes Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenkamusou Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 well, in the style of shito ryu that I practice, Minami Hankyo Shito-Ryu, it´s mostly motodachi, neko ashi, and shiko dachi... the feet movement when u walk in shorin are in a straight line, in shito as in shoto and goju, you walk doing a circular movement with your feet... The timing of the kata is probably as fast as shorin ones... hope I helped... If you could improve yourself in only three or two months, everybody would be invencible...

Sho-ju Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 In terms of history, shotokan and shito share roots in Itosu. It seems shito and shotokan are closer in kata then shorin ryu, do I have it wrong? Do shito and shotokan express Itosu's teachings better then other shorin styles?
