Shōbayashi Shōrin-ryū

Shōbayashi Shōrin-ryu (少林流) (Shōrin-ryū) is a style of Okinawan Shorin-ryu karate founded by Eizo Shimabukuro.

Eizo Shimabukuro (1925-2017) dropped the Chatan Yara no Kusanku and the Oyadamari no Passai he learned from Chotoku Kyan and he added Kusanku Sho and Dai and Passai Sho and Dai of Yasutsune Itosu lineage.

In subsequent visits, he started teaching "chuan fa" (meaning "fist way") to Okinawans.

His student Sokon Matsumura blended Sakugawa's style with Shaolin kung fu to form Shuri-Te karate.

Although Kyan then became his primary instructor, Shimabukuro also studied under Choki Motobu and weapons under Taira Shinken.
