Chitose integrated in Chitō-ryū 70% of the strength techniques he learnt, and 30% of the softer techniques. While present, the influence of Tomari-te is less evident than that of the two other foundation styles.
There are a number of 'signature techniques' in Chito ryu kata, which point to its Okinawan Tō-te roots. These include: 1) an emphasis on 'shime'... 2) the use of 'shibori' ... 3) rapid rotational movements... 4) and frequent use of movement off the line of attack (tai sabaki) at advanced levels.
Also attributed to his training with Aragaki Seishō are the kata Unshu, Seisan, Niseishi, and possibly Shihōhai.
