Hi I have a question about the history of Shorin Ryu karate. I was wondering if there is any link with the origin of this hand style, to Shaolin Fists? I've have heard some speculations made, nothing solidified however. I know the kanji for Shorin and Shaolin is the same, verbatim, so it would seem like an obvious connection or branch, yet when I researched, and asked around for some clarity, no one had answers lol, so I come here to ask if any of you are versed on the topic, or practice Shorin Ryu and know the honest roots of the style.
Thank You!
