Default re: Shuri-ryu, what do you think of it?

setsu nin to,

I am certainly not an expert on Shuri but so far I see mostly linear movement that moves forward and takes the opponents space. That concept and some of the hand techniques remind me of Hsing-I. Plus the sensei I was working with claims Hsing-I influence? The very nature of Bagua seems absent, circular movements outside the attacker's space. Walking the trigram, etc. Again I don't have that dicerning an eye for Shuri but those were my observations based on my basic understanding and exposure to Hsing-I and Bagua. I'll print an overview of Shuri in a few moments.
