interesting link i read up to the break down of the styles, they dates may be slightly off but it does all match the research i have conducted. i'll read the rest later
this statement is quite correct there were a lot of influences in okinawa-te before the creation of tode "Okinawa became the great trading post of the region and established a network of trade links that encompassed not only Japan and China but also Taiwan, Indo-China, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. This obviously proved highly beneficial for the development of the Okinawan empty-handed and weapons-based martial arts.
During these times many fighting traditions were combined with existent Okinawan self-defence methods. Some Okinawans, captivated by the lure of martial arts mastery, vigorously studied the various fist-fighting, grappling and weapons techniques either from visitors to Okinawa or by journeying to China themselves."

Do you agree with its view that Shorin-ryu and its descendant styles like Shotokan and Shito-ryu are less effective for self defense than Shorei-ryu and its descendant styles like Goju-ryu and Uechi-ryu?
It wrote- "Shorei-ryu, as even the Shorin master Gichin Funakoshi acknowledged, taught a more effective form of self-defence even though it lacked the mobility of the Shorin styles."

I must have misted that line.
I'll have to retread it. No I don't agree with it
