[MasterPain]

Anything with lotsa tuite.

I am partial to Shito-Ryu because that is mainly what I have trained in. But as Harkon72 said it kind of has the best of both worlds. It has the long range fighting thats found in shorin-ryu and the close range fighting style found in gojo ryu.

I voted for Kyokushin, but Shindokan is tied with it!

[ChrisAvhkk]

definitely wado-ryu.

I've tried shotokan for a while, would love to try shito-ryu but after everything, i'll keep coming back to waco for its definitite ideas and execution.

Because its your first love (Wado-Ryu)

[Kusotare]

Wado-ryu for me all the way!

It's not so much about what your hands and legs are doing - its a study of core principles that, in themselves, come from old schools japanese jujutsu and are uba cool.

Wado is multi layered and will keep you thinking and developing until the day you die!

It's why it is often referred to as the thinking mans Karate!

I really like the kind of firmness and flexibility of karate, I feel very badly

[ShoriKid]

Matsubayashi Ryu (Shorin Ryu branch). Angles, details, precision, subtle power, yeah it's where I started. Have trained in Shotokan and traded techniques with Isshin Ryu fellow back in college. So, I don't claim to have the widest perspective. Of the listed styles Goju Ryu is the one that I think I would like to train in the most at this time.

How do you feel really badly?

[quinteros1963]

There are no styles. Why place the art in a box? My current instructor specializes in Shotokan, but I have trained in various Okinawa versions of karate. If you saw me in kumite you would see signs of all that I have studied. I have taken something from all of my teachers, thus I can't claim one over the other. At the end of the day I am simply a martial artist.
