Shorin Ryu Karate While Shorin Ryu practitioners often lack the extreme body conditioning of their Naha-te counterparts, the popular response is that they live longer and healthier lives. Matsubayashi, Shobayashi, Kobayashi and Matsumura Seito are, in this sense, dialects of Shuri-te or Shorin Ryu. In Okinawa this was originally the basis for all Shorin Ryu karate, and beginners learned it after completing their study of Naihanchi kata. www.nyc-shorinryu.com /shorin.html   (3383 words)

Shorin-Ryu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Along with being a style on its own, Shorin-ryu is also perhaps the most influential single ancestor of modern Japanese karate. (Highlighting Shorin-ryu's Chinese heritage is the fact that "Shorin" is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese 少林, "Shaolin"; "ryu" means "way", or "style".) It is quite possible that he synthesized his knowledge of Okinawan arts with Chinese fighting styles that he learned on his travels and taught it as a coherent system to some eager students, who subsequently refined it, labeled it, and passed it on. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Shorin-Ryu   (520 words)

Masters of The Shorin-ryu: Part One, by Graham Noble This is not a technical treatment of the style, although practitioners of major Japanese systems such as Shotokan, Shito- ryu and Wado-ryu will be familiar (in their versions) with the Shorin-ryu kata: Pinan (Heian), Naihanchi (Tekki), Kushanku (Kanku), Passai (Bassai), and so on.

Rayford Shorin-Ryu Karate Many believe that Master Chibana named his Shuri-te "Shorin" because Okinawan karate had been influenced by the Chinese as far back in history as the 1400's and he felt that the name of his art should reflect karate's true heritage; the Shaolin Temple. Much to the dismay of Japan, China had been sharing knowledge with the Okinawans for centuries, which is why karate was practiced so much longer on the island of Okinawa before it made it to mainland Japan in the early 1920's. The "science" of self-defense has in many ways lost out to the "sport" of self-defense. rayfordshorinryu.com   (777 words)
