Has anyone trained in this style? Is anyone familiar with it? Its a blend of Okinwan karate & Chinese arts.

Going by the name it's probaly a Korean art

Never heard of it. Do you know a web site for it?

Yeah, it sounds Korean, but its not. I'm trying to find out more about myself. I believe it was started by Master Walter Borkowski, a Shorei-Ryu master.

And that makes me think it is likely not okinawan karate. I'm fairly sure that Shorei ryu, by that name, hasn't existed for a long long time, if ever. I could, of course, be wrong about this, so who did he learn Shorei ryu from ?

A web search turns up numerous Shorei-ryu links. Here's an article:

Yep, I saw that page earlier when I was looking for info on this Kang Chuan Do. Here's an example of a paragraph that I have trouble with:

Shorei-ryu was first brought to the United States in 1946 by Robert Trias, who opened the first karate school in this country then. While in the Orient, Trias studied the system under Choke Motobu's chief instructor, Tung Gee Hsing, and learned the Chinese mo-kempo under Hoy Yuan Ping.

First of all, the name is Choki Motobu, not Choke. Granted, that could be a simple spelling error, but every reference I've checked on Choki Motobu says that his instructors were Okinawan, not Chinese and Tung Gee Hsing sure sounds like a chinese name to me

Also, I thought Robert Trias' style was called Shuri ryu, not Shorei ryu

I'm learning bits & pieces from various sources, but there's still a lot of the puzzle I don't know. Any help is appreciated.
