frankans Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Can anyone tell me if Shuri Ryu is a good form of karate to learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireka Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 will, im not a shorin-ryu practitioneer, but i do study isshinryu, which was created by forging the 'best' aspects of three forms: Goju-ryu, Kobayashi-ryu and SHORIN-RYU. Im VERY new to it, but i used to study shotokan and have gotten a lot of respect since i started training in isshinryu, everyone says its a pretty solid art and since shorin-ryu is a part of it, i guess its prbably pretty divo to. Why? is there a dojo your considering joining? "i could dance like that!.......if i felt like it...." -Master Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankans Posted April 26, 2003 Author Share Posted April 26, 2003 I am trying to choose between Kung Fu and Karate and Shuri Ryu is the only style offered in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireka Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 kung fu and karate huh? will, as an advocate of okinawa and japnese styles, im of course going to say go with the shorin-ryu, but then again kung-fu has its advantages...i suppose...what are you looking to get out of the martial arts?

frankans Posted April 26, 2003 Author Share Posted April 26, 2003 I always wanted to try Karate when I was younger but never did. I basically want to learn something that is fun and is will never get old doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireka Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 than any art that isnt korean would be good for you. both kung-fu and Shorin-ryu would be excellent choices! i would research the history of both forms and see which intrest you more. at least that how i chosse, im just more intrested in japanese/okinawain culture than i am chinese "i could dance like that!.......if i felt like it...." -Master Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaiFightsMS Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Shuri ryu is a very traditional form of karate. Many of the syles have roots in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilM1 Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 i think it is. where i went the teacher taught a more eclectic style teaching more than shorin ryu. over all it hink sorin ryu is great . fight til you die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbitbob Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 If your school is affiliated with the late Robert Trias, then it should be allright. Trias himself was of questionable lineage, but he produced accomplished martial artists. The E-Budo froum has more about Mr. Trias in the Baffling Budo section. There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
