Goju-Ryu, Uechi-Ryu are forms that came from Naha City Okinawa
Kobayashi-Ryu, Matsubayashi-Ryu, Shobayashi-Ryu and Matsumura were from the City of Shuri.
I study Kobayashi-Ryu which we refur to as Shorin-Ryu ShorinKan.
Shorin is Japaniese for Sholin which refer to the original art comming from China.

Does anybody know all different styles of Karate?
I've heard Okinawa, Shotokan, Goju Ryu, etc. Just wondering what other styles there are and how they are all tied together.
