Montana Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I didn't vote, as there was no option for Okinawan karate. And no, Okinawan karate is NOT the same (not even close IMO) as Japanese karate.

wildbourgman Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Shorin Ryu and ShotokanOkinawan and Japanese respectively.I'm having a much harder time picking up the intricacies of Shorin Ryu. If I can learn a quarter of what my Sensei knows I would be happy. I just have to keep on plugging away at it and he's a great teacher, Rome wasn't built in a day so I have to allow the system to function as designed., WildBourgMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to keep on plugging away at it and he's a great teacher, Rome wasn't built in a day so I have to allow the system to function as designed.,There are HUGE differences between shotokan and Shorin Ryu from the very basic stances, blocks and entire philosophy of how to do things. I've never practiced shotokan personally, but I've worked with their classes numerous times and watched their classes many more times. My best suggestion is to go into Shorin Ryu with an open mind and leave your shotokan at the door...lol.
