    The Karate Kid DVD should be attached to your test as evidence of Crane in non-Chinese Arts.

    Uechi Ryu Karate has alot of Tiger and Crane influence. Uechi Ryu and Goju Ryu are the 2 styles most generally reffered to as Naha styles, the ones heavily influenced by Southern Chinese systems. (Naha was the main city on the south end of Okinawa) The Shorin styles centered around the capital city of Shuri and had a more Northern Chinese influence.

    Seisan is a shorin kata. Not Goju.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Man, if you've ever been there, Shuri basically IS in Naha these days - I'm talking 2 miles away from downtown Naha proper. Oh yah, Naha's still the capital.

    Lots of Fujian White Crane and Ngor Chor Kuen influence on Okinawan stuff.

    My buddy is an Okinawa-trained Shorin instructor and I really don't see the northern in his stuff.
    He's a big proponent of the history that his stuff came from Shuri castle guards
    What would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
    It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
    Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.

    Shorin is "shaolin", is Okinawan and does not include any northern style from Shaolin at all. It is all very "Hung" in appearance.

    I always found that Shorei was more southern...Shorin was more...well..."flashy".

    Musical kata competitions...what can one say about the prime example of the horrid view of forms in MA?
    SUCK IT, SUCK IT LONG AND SUCK IT HARD !!

    Now, Shorin-ryu can be quite flashy, ever see Tadashi Yama****a do his stuff?
    Now, Some Shorin is father stiff, this is true, but if one were to compare Shorin-ryu with Shorei-ryu and see which is "more" like Hung Gar, It would probably be Shorei.
    Though Goju is far more "hung" than either of them.
