my 'lineage' whatever that is -

sankukai
shito ryu
matsubayashi ryu
matsumura shorin ryu

with a healthy dose of judo, wing chun and thai boxing


im a mixed up kid.................

Matsumura Shorin Ryu, isn't that the style that Paul Hart practices with Channan Sho and Dai?

Its is the system that Paul Hart trains (although how similair I have no idea, Matsumura Shorin Ryu has a variety of interprataions just like any other Ryu).
