[QUOTE="Kusog, post: 2377095, member: 819438"] ? => Traditional karate (e.g. Shotokan, Goju-ryu, Isshin-ryu, etc.) => Full-contact knockdown (e.g. Kyokushin, Ashihara, etc.) => Gloved karate (e.g. K2, Shin Karate)/MMA karate (e.g. Daido Juku, Zendokaikan). *For the sake of simplicity, I'll just generalize the various styles into these categories.* I understand that the styles that predate the "-ryu" and "-do" schools of traditional karate are the "-te" styles of Okinawa. It's also my understanding that these "-te" styles are a combination of techniques from Chinese Kempo and the native martial arts of the Ryukyu Kingdom. What I would like to know more about is the native Okinawan art of "Ti". Was it ever without the influence of Chinese martial arts? What sort of techniques were utilized? What sets it apart from its successors? Your answers do not have to be limited by these questions. Any knowledge you have regarding "Ti" at all is greatly appreciated. Just know this is for posterity. [/QUOTE]
