cathal Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Welcome to the forum affligo, what Okinawan style are interested in? There are many. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
affligo Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 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?

cathal Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 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.ShotokanShotokan-JutsuChito-RyuShorin-RyuShorei-RyuNaha-TeGoju-RyuKobujutsuRyukyu KempoShohei-Ryu (aka Uechi-Ryu)Wado-RyuI hope that list helps you find out which one it was. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dparker Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 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. http://www.shotokai.com/ingles/history/okinawan.htmlGood luck and happy training "No matter how you may excel in the art of Karate, and in your scholastic endeavors, nothing is more important than your behavior and your humanity as observed in daily life."~ Master Gichin Funakoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
