• Synonymやり方やりかたNeutralThe everyday word for a way of doing something, common in speech; it lacks the sense of school tradition or a distinctive personal way that 「流儀」 has.
• SynonymスタイルNeutralA loanword for style, and also one's figure or build; it does not suggest techniques handed down by a school the way 「流儀」 does.
• Synonym方法ほうほうNeutralThe broadest and most common word for a method or means; unlike 「流儀」 it does not imply a school tradition or a distinctive personal way.

Use 「流儀」 for techniques handed down in a school such as the tea ceremony, or for one's own distinctive way, as in 「茶道の流儀」「自分の流儀」. For an everyday way or method say 「やり方」 or 「方法」; for style, 「スタイル」; for tradition, 「しきたり」. Others narrow the field: 「手法」 for techniques in art or marketing, 「方式」 for fixed formats, 「型」 for set forms like kata, 「筆法」 for writing, 「作風」 for an artist's style, 「やり口」 for a way of doing things with a negative slant, and 「習慣」「慣例」「慣習」「習わし」「習俗」「仕来り」 for habits and customs.
