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.

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...

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?
