[edit] Merge with Naha-te and Tomari-te

The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

The result was merge into Okinawan martial arts. -- Scott Alter 17:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Currently, Naha-te and Tomari-te are stubs, and there is no Shuri-te article. I think that these three styles of Te should be merged into Okinawan martial arts. It would make this article more complete. If the content about Naha-te, Shuri-te, and Tomari-te is ever expanded, they could be moved back to their own articles. --Scott Alter 00:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Support I agree - good idea.

[edit] Issun-Ryu?

Where's the mentioning of Issun-Ryu? I'm not sure if I spelled it right, but I practiced it for three or four years, as well as a tad of two other accompanying styles. One of them was called something like "Gorun-Ryu" and I forget the other. I'm surprised that they are not mentioned here, or practically anywhere for that matter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.161.91.108 (talk) 14:52, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Are you sure it wasn't Isshin-ryū (a 1956 synthetic style with okinawan base)? There are 8 google hits for "issun-ryu" and no hits for "gorun-ryu" --Cubbi (talk) 15:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
