Not
having been to Okinawa myself I tend to listen to those with that experience.
Once
during a discussion with George Donahue (a Kashiba Juku) stylist who was raised
in Japan, was a youth Japanese TV star, and did train on Okinawa, he remarked
about a point Shimabuku Zempo made to me in 1974. “That on Okinawa there were maybe a hundred Shorin dojo, maybe 30 Goju
dojo and 3 Isshin dojo”.
George
inserted then “and if you got to those
Shorin dojo, you will find each of them are doing a different version of Shorin
karate.“
I found that an interesting observation.
