Enough said?

Now does anyone wonder why I have said at times that Nuerologists are no better than witch doctors?

There are basic strikes and graps that can be done with a cane for self defense purposes. For those who prefer more flash there are also spins and twirls that can be incorporated into a form.

The bumper sticker I have seen that I think was the most memorable was the one that looked like a giant bandaid. When I was at Ft. Devons someone had a small car with just such a bumper sticker over a small dent. The car became known as the bandaid car.

I liked the topic of this post and thought it would make a good sticky.

Never call your M-16 a gun in basic training or you get the same result.

Many of the same techniques can be done with an umbrella.

Terminology confusion and the differences in Japanese and Okinawan terminology is one of the reasons I started using english terminology to record written descriptions to the kata I was learning. When I first started keeping records I tried to use the most precise Japanese terminology I could. But, after I started doing a bit of research and seeing how different the so called correct terminology was I began to use just straight precise english desriptions. And if they are a bit wordy at times I think that is better than a few short confusing Japanese words. I keep my records for myself and it is much easier to be able to go to something I did three years ago and be able to see clearly what I meant than it did when I was confusing myself with terminology.
