		Typically, as is often the case with Japanese karate organizations, each group went their separate ways deciding that they would each maintain their own unique stylistic and organizational integrity, no doubt motivated by an elitist attitude within their respective groups.
		Mabuni's kata repertoire of his Shito Ryu style combined Shuri-Te, Tomari-Te and Naha-Te lineage kata into a set that used kata from all three sources.
		Although not the founder of Shotokan karate as the title of this article intimates, he was the founder of the highly technical and comprehensive style of Shito Ryu Karate.

	E-Budo.com - Hayashi-ha Shito Ryu Kai Karate
		One bit of information I did find was that some Shito Ryu styles require a competition record to grade, but I am very uninterested in competition, and I couldn't find any information on whether or not Hayashi-ha has this requirement.
		I started training in bo as a white belt, and nunchaku as an orange belt (although most students in my dojo were not allowed to start so soon), and virtually all students at that dojo were training at least in bo by the time they were purple belts.
		Most of the Shito Ryu branches (Hayashi-ha, Motobu-ha, etc.) have kobudo within their curriculum, and many of the Shito Ryu masters trained under the same Kobudo master; Shinken Taira.

		At present, the third soke of Shito Ryu is Miwako Kenzo, the eldest daughter of Mabuni Kenzo.
		Other schools of Shito-ryu developed after the death of Kenwa Mabuni, both because the death of a founder is typically the source of dispute as to the leader of a given school and because many prominent Karate teachers choose to modify the style, thereby creating new branches.
		On one hand, Shito-ryu has the physical strength and long powerful stances of Shuri-te (é¦—éæ) derived styles, such as Shorin Ryu and Shotokan (æ¾æ¶é¤¨), on the other hand Shito-ryu has circular and eight-directional movements, breathing power, hard and soft characteristics of Naha-te (é£é¸) and Tomari-te (æ³æ) styles, such as Goju-ryu (åæ”æµ).

	motobu ha shito ryu kata - E-Budo.com
		With the vast amount of Shito ryu kata I do not see the need to add additional kata to the list especially with doing the modified shotokan versions of Okinawan kata.
		Shito-ryu is not really a Japanese ryu at all, but its popularity in Japan makes everyone think it is. I never saw Kuniba teach JKA kata, but I was never a direct student of his.
		I get the feeling that in a lot of Shito Ryu there is this mindset that RyuHa should be like a library or karate knowledge repository.

		When in Japan I saw several demos of traditional arts including Katori Shito Ryu.
		These techniques are described in the text of the Mokuroku Heiho no Shinsho, which has been passed down from the late 15th century from the founder of Katori Shinto Ryu, Ienaoko, or Iizasa Ienao (also known as "Choisai").
		If I remember correctly, most of the time, uchidachi is armed with the sword as this was the central weapon of the warrior arsenal, the "supreme" weapon, and shidachi is the one using different weapons.
