powerof0ne Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'm aware who you are and I've read your blog before I came on this forum through an associate of yours that I believes posts on e-budo. My point is someone brought up Shorei Ryu being Americanized...Robert Trias is often credited as being the first one to teach Karae to haoles/white men/gaijin/round eyes/etc. in the USA. I really am not sure to how authentic Shuri Ryu is(I'd never study it)but Trias does have some credentials...but I'm also highly skeptical of to what degree his credentials really were. Anyhoo I'm kind of hungry and am going to get something to eat but I wasn't doubting your knowledge of the more historically legit history of what I believe to be REAL karate....I'm highly skeptical of Shuri Ryu and it's offshoots being authentic karate...americanized martial art of some sort..sure, why not? Japanese/Okinawan Karate? I really don't think so. flowing like the chi energy inside your body b =rZa= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
