The 2 best ways of looking at the differences, generally would be -

1. the kata sets are often different in technique, principles and strategys

2. the common methods of training again are different

Of course there is alot of mix up as well, so it is difficult to be clear.

There is of course common ground as both arts were developed on Okinawa, but the same they are not IMO.

Yours in karate

Nah, I've trained both Shotokan and Shorin-ji Ryu karate while in an umbrellla organisation that included Goju.

Shorin-ji is higher in the stance than Shotokan and stresses an avoid his force precept so is softer. Goju is very hard in their kata but

hey,

they all spar the same!!! :)

the shorinji i have been taught is force meets force, is what you learn the mainland style or is it okinawan and under what teacher
