@bobw72 Correct. The creator of the style was an American, Robert Trias, and the official lineage is Grand Master Trias, Tong Gee Hsing (a Chinese missionary), and then back to Choki Motobu. However, GM Trias also trained under and was promoted by Yasuhiro Konishi, a student of Choki Motobu.
Shuri-ryu...? what is the lineage of this style? Is it closely related to 'ti'? can someone please break it down for me, i study shorin ryu shinjinbukan so i am very interested now
@tedsheridanbonky I was at the Shuri-ryu seminar in Fort Wayne this year and saw Mr Gus Lugo perform for (and win) the Shuri Cup. It was a great performance.
@LochlanachViking , True.... Patsai is the Okinawan rendering. Due to WUKO standards, O'Sensei Trias accepted the Japanese 'Bassai' usage. If you check closely, you will see that Japanese 'Nihongo' is used in very many Okinawan karate styles. It is the acceptable standard today as it was some 40 years ago.
I beg to differ. There is much more to be known of our Shuri-ryu karate, especially as O'Sensei taught it. I am all the more encouraged to upload more kata recordings. :@)
SignorFOX: We normally run the kata with a bit more power, but I think Tim was concentrating on getting it right in front of an audience. :)
I do know this interpretation is the way Grand Master Trias (founder of Shuri-ryu) taught it, as this is what's in his book The Pinnacle of Karate. Shuri-ryu claims Choki Motobu in its lineage, and Trias studied under Yasuhiro Konishi, who trained directly with Motobu, so I would guess it comes from that connection.
sry for the third comment but this is brilliant! As a shotokan guy point of view. Who invented this variation of Bassai Dai ? I realy would love to see Shuri-Ryu bunkai of this Kata.
Shuri ryu

I meant : This is so soft ! (without question mark)
SignorFOX 2 years ago
@SignorFOX , I agree.... too soft.
Shoreihito 1 year ago
this is so soft? Realy unlike the name of this kata. Interesting interpretation, like the karate saying "to fight hard with soft and soft with hard"
SignorFOX 2 years ago
@SignorFOX , so much for the interpretation.... "To Thrust Assunder" or "Penetrating the Enemy Fortress". I would expect POWER and BURSTS.
