i've only done goju ryu...so of course it's my favorite. But I still love it lots and lots and lots.

I've had experience in Kyokushin, Shorin Ryu and Shotokan. I like them all very much. But I guess I'd rank them this way:

1 Shotokan

2 Kyokushin

3 Shorin Ryu

I've also studied Shotokan much longer and, therfore, understand it best. Kyokushin longer than Shorin Ryu. I guess that makes me biased also.

It has to be Shotokan! :D (I wonder why? :-? :lol:)

I have tried Kyusho Jitsu which is interesting... Very hurtful if you try it out in practice! :lol: But then what is to say that when trying Karate out it too doesn't hurt! :D

I have studied both Shobayashi Shorin-ryu and Shudokan. I have also studied Tang Soo Do and TKD, though it has been a few years ago. Personally I prefer the Okinawan arts and I prefer Shorin-ryu to Shudokan because it fits my bodytype better. The whipping actions of Shudokan don't work as well with my arm and leg lengths and muscular body.

I prefer Isshin-ryu Karate for its in-close, no non-sense fighting techniques.

I also prefer the Okinawan arts. Seijitsu Shin Do is based on Okinawan Karate and Ju Jitsu even though I have practiced Shotokan style karate not straight shotokan I like the more circular movements better and the higher stances.
