[QUOTE="pugpaws2, post: 1979243, member: 629460"] I don't know about there being hundreds of Taekwondo styles as Shihan J mentioned. I'm aware that there are more than 75 different styles of Taekwondo, that are recognized as legitimate by the Korean Government. No one knows but Black Belt Magazine many years ago, stated that there were at least 300-400 different styles of Kung-Fu. Karate has many styles and sub styles. It is hard to get an accurate number. There are both Okinawan and Japanese styles. Some of them have both a Japanese and an Okinawan version. Goju-Ryu is one of them. Shorin-Ryu has three main branches they are: Shobayashi, Kobayashi, and Matsubayashi. All three are Shorin-Ryu but slightly different. Then there are other lesser known styles that came from these. I have only mentioned an few of the well known styles. There are many more and as I said many times styles that have split off of them as well. [/QUOTE]
