Shorin Ryu became established as a separate style about 1900. The roots can be traced much further back than that. It was Shorin ryu that Gichin Funikoshi took to Japan and used as the foundation for Shotokan Karate.

Absolutely. A am a long time practitioner of shorin ryu. All styles of karate claim to teach self-defense, but only shorin ryu offers the grappling art known as Tuite and the nerve point techniques called Kyusho Jitsu. They emphasize precision in strikes rather than dumb force and muscle. FYI, "Shorin-Ryu" is NOT the only system to offer tuite (and many of those schools don't).
The Japanese refer to Gichin Funikoshi as the Father of Karate. He created Shotokan karate in Japan. He was from Okinawa and brought Shorin Ryu karate over to them.
