panginoon Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I do Kobayashi Shorin Ryu. .................................... I did Kobayashi for 2 years under the Iha lineage. What is your lineage?

hobbitbob Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Is Kobayashi Ryu the Itosu or Matsumura lineage? We (Seibulkan) are the Kyan lineage, and Matsubayashi seems to be acombination of the Kyan asn Itosu lineages. Does your Chinto have the one-legged stances like Shotokan's Gankaku, or the "t" stances like the Kyan Chinto? There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm!

a_modern_production Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 i live in seattle, washington right now.. and i have a very strong interest in practicing shorin-ryu in a combat focused manner. however the art in question does not seem to have much popularity over here. i was just wondering how all of you that practice shorin-ryu wound up founding your teachers [is there some city or state that is a meca of shorin-ryu practitioners because up until i moved to seattle i had never even heard of it before]. and my other question would be, what are peoples thoughts on The Okinawa Shorin Ryu Matsumura Kenpo Karate and Kobudo Association Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbitbob Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 In general the Kuda lineage people are strong fighters who tend to eschew competition. Have you visited the class in the U district?
