Iron Arahat Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I'm curious how this style is different from Shotokan Karate.

SaiFightsMS Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Shorin ryu uses the Okinawan names for the katas. And the stances are much higher. More is similar than different however. They both stress equal use of hands and feet. In his book Nagamine credits one of Funakoshi's books with giving him the determination to stay involved in the training of the martial arts. He worked in the police department. And trained many Okinawan police in the martial arts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it a very useful tool for practicing Kata and also used the link http://www.shorinryu.dk. The boog Nagamine mentions was Karate-Do kyohan by Gichin Funakoshi.

Nidan Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Most styles of karate are not that different. Different katas and moves might be done quicker or slower and with more or less concentration/power. Its mind over matterIf I dont mind you dont matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Just to clerify Shorin ryu is Okinawan and Shotogan is Japanese. I have read the book The Essence oF book and the only Karate Men Shoshin Nagamine credits for his trianing are Arakichi Arakaki, Chotoku Kyan and Choki Motobu. Shotogan Karate is based on Shorinryu. Gichin Funakoshi has been credited for the first book Karate Do Kyohan. Many Karate Men that lift Okinawa Renamed there styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousOne Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 In Funakoshi's autobiography you will read that Shotokan came from Shuri te (including Tomari Te) and Naha te. Its a mix of both schools. You will see some of the Nahe schools forms in Shotokan at an advanced level, albeit somewhat modified 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul. Warriors are action takers and not action fakers. If you are cruising, make time for losing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radok Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Okinawan Karate has ALOT of grappling in it. These are not basic attacks, however. You learn them in the advanced kata's. They are not obvios, but you see kata's aplication if you use your noodle. If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.

Taikudo-ka Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Shorin-Ryu is the Okinawan style that descends from earlier Shuri-Te and Tomari-Te. Gichin Funakoshi could be said to have studied Shorin-Ryu under Itosu and Azato. Later, when he went to Japan, he modified a lot of his art, in particular renaming and reordering katas, as well as changing and simplifying many moves. This new Japanese style taught by Funakoshi in the Shoto-Kan (waving pines hall), became known, not suprisingly, as "Shotokan" style. Note that Funakoshi himself opposed giving karate a multitude of stylistic names. He believed karate-do should just be karate-do.
