Reklats Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 We have lots of names for the same techniques. We don't have to learn phrases like "Thank you very much sensai may I have another" or "Karate brings peace and harmony throughout the galaxy" in japanese/korean/whatever like you guys do.
delta1 Posted April 5, 2004 Posted April 5, 2004 Nope, AK's customs, sayings, and all are good ole' US vernacular type English. We give a Chinese salut of respect, but then we just say 'howdy'. FSTKD and Arnis is the same way (at least here). A simple bow shows respect, but other than that all the hollerin', cussin' and sweatin' gets done in English. I looked up some of the Korean terms once, and quickly decided I didn't want to impress anyone enough to learn them. Besides, they'd all have thought I'd lost it if I started useing Korean. Freedom isn't free!

hobz Posted April 12, 2004 Author Posted April 12, 2004 I think it'd be hard to explain to my mom that I'm REALLY practicing Brazilian JiuJitsu Rule #1: Play the game to the limit. Damn the consequences.
