You're welcome!!! BTW, the pronunciation guide of the manual on pages 3 to 6 is how I was taught when I took Japanese in college 37 years ago (wow that is so long ago, LOL!!!)

check out this karate terms and Kanji manual, the basic vowel sounds for A, I , U, E, O and Kana are presented very well: https://seitouryukarate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/GoJu-Ryu-Karate-Terms-and-Kanji.pdf It goes over Goju Ryu terms, but many karate style use the same terms.

The short story... A sempai instructor in our dojo was asked to take a break from our Dojo. He did disrespect the dojo and Sensei. I've haven't seen or heard from him since I first posted this topic.

How much do you get paid as a Sempai Instructor?

As the owner/sensei of your dojo, what would you do if one of your Black Belt Sempai/instructor was talking bad about the Dojo behind your back?
-
Just wondering how many quit becuase they did not pass?

Wow! At the Kukkiwon!?! Thats cool. Is there any difference if you get shodan at the Kukkiwon or at a Dojang out side of Korea that's Kukkiwon certified?
-
Nice! Great Job. Competition must have been tough if you got 4th. If you performed that at the ISKF tournaments I've attended it would have been 1st/2nd place performance.

I disagree, since this video IMO is pretty good instruction.
