Shorei-Ryu Shorei   is,   like   Shorin,   the   Okinawa   name   for   the   monestry   of   Shaolin.   But   the   Karate   which   is typical   for   Naha   is   very   different   to   the   Karate   done   in   Shuri   and   Tomari.   So   it's   to   suppose   that   in Naha a totally different interpreation of the Shaolon Quan Fa was handed down. Furthermore    the    names    of    a    lot    of    the    Kata    used    in    Naha-te    (Shorei-Ryu)    has,    in    chinese mythologie,   the   meaning   of   mystic   numbers.   Maybe   this   is   a   sign   that   there   was   a   stronger spiritual   influence.   Probably   in   Shuri   and   Tomari   some   chinese   experts   of   one   part   of   the   Shaolin system   have   been,   while   in   Naha   experts   of   some   other   parts   lived.   Something   as   if   two   car manufactories   would   do   a   race,   and   one   car   would   use   patrol   engine   and   the   other   gasoiline engine. It's   known   that   there   was   a   chinese   master   with   name   Wai   Chin   Zhan   who   lived   in   Naha   and   did teach   his   Art.   It's   for   sure   that   the   famous   Karate   expert   Kanryo   Higashionna   did   travel   to   China   for to   learn   the   chinese   Martial   Arts   in   original   form.   Later   Kenwa   Mabuni   (founder   of   Shito-Ryu)   and also Chojun Miyagi (founder of Goju-Ryu) did learn from Kanryo Higashionna. Only   9   Kata   has   been   official   part   of   the   Naha-te.   But   it's   known   that   some   versions   of   Hakutsuru Kata   have   been   practised   in   secret.   It's   not   known   for   sure   how   many   secret   familiy   style   there are. For example the Ryuei-Ryu what is part of Naha-te was firstly seen public in 1970. Main   part   of   the   Shorei-Ryu   are   the   versatile   using   of   open   hand   techniques,   circular   blocking techniques and snapping kicking techniques in Gedan area. Furthermore   we   find   a   lot   of   lever   and   throwing   techniques.   Also   special   training   for   to   make   the body   hard   against   punches   and   also   a   special   training   for   the   muscles.   Seldom   there   a   grand master of Shorei-Ryu which aren't with a strong body. The    using    of    hard    and    short    techniques    in    the    direct    infight    in    combination    with    throwing techniques   is   the   speciality   of   the   Shorei-Ryu.   Also   the   stances   like   Sanchin-Dachi   and   Shiko-Dachi which are very good for this special kind of fighting. Original part of the Shorei are the Kata: Kururunfa Sanchin (Kaishu) Alte Version mit offenen Händen Saifa Sanseiru Seienchin Seipai Seisun Shisochin Suparimpei Pachu Heiku Paiku Anan Ohan Paiho Sochin Niseishi Useishi Unshu Kata created by Chojun Miyagi Tensho Gekisai Dai Ichi Gekisai Dai Ni A   very   big   and   important   part   of   the   Shorei-Ryu   are   the   training   of   Kobudo.   Weapons   like   Bo,   Sai, Tonfa and Kama are the normal part of the skills of grand masters. Karate and Kobudo are uncutable connected especially in the Shorei-Ryu The   most   known   school   of   Shorei-Ryu   is   the   Goju-Ryu.   Also   the   Shorei-Ryu   is   an   important   part   of Kenwa Mabuni's Shito-Ryu.
