I asked this on the weapons board a couple days ago, but it hasn't been answered so I'm hoping someone here will help.
Can anyone tell me anything about the stylings used in the Shorin Ryu Karate?
I'm a total beginner, so I mean things like it being more practical (which I've picked up on) over more flashy, circular vs. jabbing motions, more contemplative or more active... just those really easy types of distinguishing characteristics. Well, if there are big things it is known for for some odd reason, I guess they'd be good to know, too.
Also, the very basics on weaponry in this style if you know. How are they handled (for example, one handed or two on the bo, graceful or flashy)? When are they used? I'd really appreciate the help, so any little thing you know would be great.

Um... Like I said, I'm totally new to all the terminology. So I started thinking that "kenshin kan" might be an important note to add.
