Difference between Shuri-te and Naha-te

手には,首里手と那覇手の二種類ある。形(型)に含まれる技から,全体的に,首里手は想定する敵との間合いが相対的に広く,那覇手は相対的に狭い。また,那覇手では呼吸と身体の締めを修行の初期段階から意識的に重視するのに対し,首里手では呼吸と身体の締めを強調することはせず,これらは稽古を経る中で自然に身につくと考える。沖縄の空手家の中には,突き方一つとっても,両者は異なると言う人もいる。そのために,両方を習うことはできないと考える人もいる。

Te (tiy) is divided into two types; shuri-te and naha-te. In terms of techniques included in kata, generally speaking, the distance shuri-te assumes between a supposed enemy and oneself is broad compared to naha-te, while the one naha-te assumes is relatively narrower than shuri-te. Additionally, in naha-te, both breathing and tension of the body are consciously took into account at the beginning of training, while in shuri-te, they think that both breathing and tension of the body are learned automatically through the practice, and then they do not emphasize the importance of them. Some Okinawan karateka say that both are different even in the way of punching. Then, some think that it is impossible to learn both shuri-te and naha-te.
