Well, here's a place where the styles that originated in the Ryukyu Islands (island chain south of mainland japan) can be discussed, primarily those from Okinawa, such as Isshin-Ryu, Shoto-kan, Goju-Ryu, and well...i always forget the last one...so if you know the name of the last traditional Okinawan style, let me know so i can edit this.

Many styles came from Okinawa. You're right about the ones you listed. I take Isshin Ryu which is a very interesting style. The style you're missing might be Shorin Ryu. I'll ask my sensei and get back to you on that.

so how would these styles match-up against striking styles like muay thai or tae kwon do .. or unorthodox styles like capoeira or drunken boxing ... or even grappling art like BJJ or judo ...

Yes but Shoto-kan was created by Funakoshi in japan, and Goju-Ryu was Chōjun Miyagi too all in japan.

the only style originally from Okinawan is Genseiryū ,Gohaku-Kai ,Isshin-ryū , Shōrei-ryū, Shuri-ryū , Tōon-ryū, Ryūei-ryū

I'd like to point out that Okinawa is part of Japan so really all of these styles are from Japan.

But I alway believed that Okinawa was just Okinawa before in became a territory of Japan ... and withing Okinawan society there is a distinct difference ... it's like the Irish and the British ... two distinct cultures ... part of the same country ...

honest martial artist would say "it depends on the fighter" also i like to add if they would be match up what rules would be to apply? cause there rules like full contact ,ufc rules,k1 rules and combat (which is anything goes).i would give my option on which style it depends
