Are you listing karate as a generic term? Because they is Shorin ryu, Isshin Ryu, Gojo Ryu, Shotokan, Motobu ryu, Tomari Te. I am sure there are alot more I left out. Here is a book that has almost every style from Okinawan. Okinawan Karate by Mark Bishop, I think this is a very good book if you are into the history of karate. There are no techniques in this book.

By nameing the list that way your missing out on koryu styles, which would be more correct.

Thanks for sharing that!

 

[Shinryu]

No Problem.

I'm glad I helped.

For me that's the site that has informed me the most.

After all, about.com has some good help too.

"Kempo" is also a generic term, like karate. There is Nippon Kempo, Shorinji Kempo, Kempo Karate (sic), and many others. They are all totally different; for example, Shorinji Kempo eschews competition as artificial and egocentric, whilst Nippon Kempo is clearly a competitive sport. HTH.

Kenpo mostly for modern styles arising, and for americans translation.

Kempo mostly really is for the rooted/traditional ones.

This is a bogus distinction, since both are written the same way in Japanese: Œ–@
HTH.

They are the same, it's just that Ed Parker etc chose to use the Kenpo spelling

If you think that "kempo" and "kenpo" denote different things, then what about "shimbun" and "shinbun"?

Bob:asian:

Bishop's book is very good but it does have some mistakes. He does not mention several styles in his book.
Most likely due to that fact that they are no longer in existence.
If you were to list ONLY the different sword schools from Japan it would be in the several 100s, jujutsu would be up there as well.
As for Kempo/Kenpo...........no difference.
Since I know Kimpatsu I can tell you his Japanese is excellent, far better than mine, in fact he earns his living by translating Japanese to English.

Different types of Kempo/Kenpo:

Ryukyu Kempo
Okinawa KeNpo (with an N )
Shorinji Kempo
Haku KeNpo

All but Shorinji Kempo are from Okinawa...............so it has nothing to do with being old or new or coming from the US.

 

[Kimpatsu]

Thank you for the vote of confidence. (The cheque's in the post. )
Continuing the Kempo list, we can also add Nippon Kempo and Shorin-ryu Karatedo. Nippon Kempo is from mainland Japan (Osaka, actually), and Shorin-ryu Karate is Okinawan.

Hmmm, Mr. Moderator I'm curious, how does that link have any relevance to this Japanese style list they are compiling?

 

[arnisador]

Well, it had to go somewhere ...and it's a general coverage of aspects of many classical styles, though it's about their transmission, not the styles themselves.

 

[Kempo Guy]

BTW, I think that article is quite thought provoking.
