Style question

[isshinryuwarrior]

I was talking to a friend of mine at work who noticed my Isshinryu warrior t-shirt, found out he's in Martial arts too, he know a bit about my style, when told him what my lineage was he said what I'm doing is a little bit different than isshinryu.

My teachers, teacher was Dale Jenkins. His Isshinryu teacher was Don Nagle. What my friend said is Mr. Jenkins split off and did his own thing. Even today my association says that the core style is isshinryu with elements of jujitsu, judo, aikido and boxing added into the cirriculum.

What is that? a Hybrid style or is a completley different system and new style?

Maybe the assosiactions' website might help some to make a distinction on this. https://www.kokorokai.com

Thank you

if katas are the same as tetsu shimabukuru then it is isshinryu, there are 6 of them on the net you can download plus some weapons katas performed by the master.

But it could be isshinyu combined with something else.

I would say it's still Isshinryu. I did Tang Soo Do that was mixed with a few other styles, but the forms, one steps, and basics were all the same as the assosiaction's cirriculum (we just had better self defense curriculum hehehehe ... to me anyways). But I never called it anything but Tang Soo Do. My TKD school is the same way. We do a mix of styles in TKD, eventhough our "base" is WTF TKD. It's still TKD to me.

well let's just asume when youre doing non grappling movements, you are doing isshin ryu and when youre grappling youre doing the other arts

well, I don't know....I mean Ishhinryu is traditional Okinawan Karate, & there's a lot of grappling in traditional karate.

I learned 6 months of Ishhin ryu under a bohan lineage, it was different than the nagel guys as well. There's a lot of that in Isshin ryu, a whole lot.

well traditional karate does have a lot of grappling but it's concepts are different than those in aikido,judo,ju-jutsu.Becuase the grappling in aikido is done using your opponents energy against them,judo and ju-jutsu are more of the ground work stuff.

Many schools incorporate new styles into their own to make a more complete system. Provided nothing has been removed from the Isshinryu syllabus, what your studying is still Isshinryu, plus.

that's assuming that there wasn't already an element there.

everything I do is 100% kata based, and we do shoulder throws at white belt. I find a lot grappling in the shotokan katas, probaly more than actualy punhing.

What do you mean "everything I do is 100% kata based?"
