equaninimus Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 Eq......Im new here, and dont wanna start a flame war......Im curious to know your background.....if you dont mind......The reason I ask is that this information comes to me from a student of Sekicki Toguchi and Masanobu Shinjo, both direct students of Chojun Miyagi......these terms are commonly confused.....but you are wrong.....Kaisai is analysis..... ~JulesNot trying to start a flame war, I am merely curious. I speak and read Japanese, that is why I am asking. "Bunkai" translates directly as "analysis." That is why I wished to know the Kanji for Kaisai. A hidden technique would be "himitsu." "Bunkai" is a commonly used word in Japanese in fields as divergent as banking, science, social sciences, and entertainment. There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm!
Master Jules Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 Congrats.....seriously.....I wish I could speak and read Japanese too. I dont know the kanji....sorry about that.... I wish I did......The gentleman who gave me this info is also fluent in Japanese.....he trained with the Masters in Okinawa starting back in 1960, and he and I had a long discussion about this topic several years ago......I thought the same thing, but he was very emphatic about this......just curious.....if you dont mind......what is your background ? ~Jules ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy"

My resume looks pretty pathetic at the side of yours. Academic= Degrees: er, none. I haven't finished it yet Martial Arts= 10th dan in 'dazed and confused-do' Languages= I speak fluent Yorkshire!! Does knowing a rude phrase in Russian count for anything?? (Actually, I can speak, read & write Spanish, French and Swahili and I'm learning Twi.) lol, how do you manage to find time for the unimportant things in life, such as sleeping and eating?
