Shorin Ryu Karate

[Abraham_lincoln]

I do. I'm not quite sure what you mean by branch. If it helps, there are pictures in the wall of our dojo of Oyata Seiyu. he was like the grandfather of our dojo, in the way that our o-sensei studied under George Dillman, who studied under Oyata Seiyu.

i think your style is Ryu-te which goes under shuri-te. what katas do you practice?

Taikiyoku 1-5, nihanchi 1-3, Pasai, seishan, seisan, shinto. Those are all of the ones that I see on a regular basis, most of which I know.

Also, there are other pictures I forgot, of Nakamura Shigeru, and Motobu Chokki.

our system is built mostly upon Matsumura Seito, but also has some Matsubayashi. as well as Kempo and Tae Kwon Do

Who studies Shorin Ryu and what branch?

Matsumura Seito Karatejutsu.

What branch do you study, Al? Which dojo/sensei did you begin and finish with? What rank do you claim?
