Whats are the differences between the 4 branches of Shorin Ryu
I know that Shobayashi and Kobayashi are basically the same except for a couple of kata give or take. I dont know much about Matsubayashi. I know its the least like the rest. So much so that it's listed separate from Shorin Ryu in the 4 major styles of Okinawan Karate. Is Matsumura Seito the most complete style of Shorin Ryu? I know its has the Hakutsuru kata from Bai He Quan and a couple others. Can someone fill me in on the details of the differences. I especially want to know about Matsubayashi since theres a school close by. Oh yea please dont refer me to a book or a half-assed website. I get enough of that at e-budo. Thanx
