Shorin Ryu
is something of a combination martial art, having elements often associated with three backgrounds:
-something English speakers might call Kung Fu;
-something we can call Jiu-jitsu;
and an ancient Okinawa art called "Te", a boxing and wrestling system. 
These three systems combine a brilliant and dynamic physical and mental art that is associated with excellent physical training and self-defense.
