    Because I voted "other" I probably should specify it.

    The karatestyle I practice is called Nihon karatedou Genwakai
    (in japanese: “ú–{‹óŽè“¹Œº˜a‰ï)

    Sincerly,

    Umh...must ask if Shorin/Shorinji -branch is so small that it often gets unnoticed in these kind of threads...

    Japanese Goju Ryu.

    Also elements of Chinese MA (Tai Chi) Filipino (escrima is our first kobudo element) and anything else that works. My sensei is generally a traditionalist (at least, that's MY impression) but is not totally fixated on it, and will adapt and incorporate anything that is appropriate/workable.

    Yeah brother!The weird thing is that the majority of styles listed are highly influenced by the Shorin school(s). Oh well, whatever. That's the reason a lot of Shorin ryu guys have an intense loyalty to their art! Somebody's got to give it props. Especially since most styles of modern karate, Korean or Japanese, "bit" our stylee!!! Te (Shuri or Naha), history should be a fundamental part of any real dojos curriculum...

    Happy tournament training warriors!

    Oh yea! The only problem with that is, then all these Soke would have a difficult time passing on their false lineage.

    Kosho Ryu is my main style.

    Shuri Ryu

    The other catagory is more than twice the count as the number two style polled. Perhaps you should of listed more of the different styles to get a more informative poll.

    It has Pinans, Naihanchis, and Bassai. I think of it as Korean Shorin-ryu.

    You are correct sir. Very similar... Pinan's 1 and 2 are reversed, 1 being 2 and 2 being 1. Kind of makes since since Pinan Shodan is the more difficult of the two.
