Shorin-ryu

Shōrin-ryū is one of the major modern Okinawan martial arts. Said to have been founded by Matsumura Sōkon during the 1800s, Shōrin-ryū combines elements of the traditional Okinawan fighting styles of Shuri-te and Tomari-te. Shōrin-ryū is widely considered to be one of the two major modern styles of Okinawan karate, along with Gōjū-ryū, which is rooted in the third traditional Okinawan style, Naha-te.

Shōrin-ryū is generally characterized by natural breathing, natural (narrow, high) stances, and direct, rather than circular movements (with the exception of Shōrin-ryū Kyudōkan, which makes extensive use of circular movements). Shōrin-ryū practitioners will say that correct motion matters, being able to move quickly to evade violence by having fluid movements and flexible positions is quite important, and that a solid structure is very important for powerful moves, but stances that are too deep, will most likely make body movement very difficult.
