Has anyone ever heard of these styles? I practice Shuri ryu and it is supposed to be similar. Just wondering if anyone has heard of or practiced these elusive arts (by elusive i mean not well known)

Shuri is a town in Okinawa in which the style was named. Namely Shuri Te or Shuri hand.
It later bacame known as Shorin Ryu.
The town of Naha had its own style. Two schools came out of there, Uechi Ryu and Gojuryu.
Tomari was another town which had its own style but later was mixed with Shuri Te
Shuri or Shorin Ryu has very different Kata to Gojuryu

correction there is another style now called shorei ryu which is what it was called befor naha te (this is also what Funakoshi refered to it as ) but you are correct shuri is where shorin ryu came from .
I belive that shorei ryu may be a more modern name that some gave to it after breaking away form goju but i caint say for sure its hard enough jsut trying to keep up with the branches of my on style .

Shorei Ryu - Naha Te
Shorin Ryu - Shuri Te, Tomari Te
Shorei Ryu is a term used to cover the styles that came out of Naha, namely GojuRyu and Uechi Ryu.
When Funakoshi spoke of Shorin and Shorei he was refering to the various schools that came out of Shuri and Naha towns.
