Welcome to the forums! Glad to have you here. :karate:

If I were you, I would scan the yellow pages under Martial Arts instruction, and also so a Google search for your area. Something should turn up.

Good luck!

Welcome to the forum affligo, what Okinawan style are interested in? There are many.

.

The best victory is when the opponent surrenders

of its own accord before there are any actual

hostilities...It is best to win without fighting.

I'm not sure I have not been able to find any info on it. I was told about it by a lady I am really good friends with. She told me it was centered around pressure points, which is something I am really interested in. Do you know any web sites that have info about different martial arts styles?

Well many systems incoporate pressure points, but does knock a few off the list (in my head anyway). There are a few webites out there like https://www.martial-way.com but it doesn't have a comprehensive list of the styles of Karate. Here is a list of styles from Okinawa which I'm familiar with, which is by no means a complete list.

Shotokan

Shotokan-Jutsu

Chito-Ryu

Shorin-Ryu

Shorei-Ryu

Naha-Te

Goju-Ryu

Kobujutsu

Ryukyu Kempo

Shohei-Ryu (aka Uechi-Ryu)

Wado-Ryu

I hope that list helps you find out which one it was.

Like Cathal said many style use pressure points in their applications. Shotokan-Jutsu is the style I study.

Besides Gichin Funakoshi learned his karate from Yasutsune Itosu and Yasutsune Azato, both were great Okinawin masters.

Good luck and happy training
