Ryu's Approach to Ansatsuken is a mixture of Kyokushin Karate, Shotokan Karate, and Shorinji Kempo. Not to mention Ryu was inspired by Korean Karateka and Kyokushin Karate founder Choi Yeong-eui aka Masatatsu Oyama (Mas Oyama, Choi Baedal in Korean).
Ken's approach is a mixture of Kyokushin Karate, Shotokan Karate, Taekwondo, Kickboxing, and Taekwondo. Which makes sense since he was inspired by Karate and Kickboxing Legends Joe Lewis and Benny The Jet Urquidez.
