Hello Sensei, did you study a branch of Shorin-Ryu? Greetings from a practitioner of Matsubayashi-Ryu in Germany.

Sorry for the late reply. No actually our formal background was Shotokan but we realized Shotokan was a modern Do version and tried to reverse engineer as well as study through the internet as well as literature. My twin brother studied a little Hung Gar and both of us had several days training with a Shorin Ryu Stylists.We had no formal Okinawan training background.

@@salvatoreplacidoplumari3840 you are most welcome. Actually we are fascinated by Okinawan karate. Japanse Karate is excellent in terms of speed, maai / range control, a seeming off shoot of their kendo/kenjutsu tradition. Excellent when you are young! However there are gaps that Okinawan Karate fills such as conditioning, breathing, hojo undo, two man drill, kakie/sensitivity training and of course Bunkai. Btw, my brother was mistaken. I did not take up Hung gar but rather Hung Fut which is a Chinese version of Hojo Undo and a little Yinquan. In the end we have to admit that we are not practicing any lineage but what maybe called "Generic" Karate tailored after our own intent, which is closer to self defense for old fogies who no longer have the time to train as much.
