Enshin came from Ashihara, when Ninomiya Sensei broke away. In a nutshell, both systems are going to be quite similar, but Enshin will incorporate more of the "softer" techniques than Ashihara does.

Ninomiya Sensei had a good bit of Judo training, and it's not surprising to see that he infused more of those techniques into the original Kyokushin / Ashihara training.

Osu!

The main difference is in the adding of one sided modified Judo throws.

Other than that the strategy of the Sabaki system is very similar.
