b3n,

Yes i think that's it, after you close your eyes, then open and do that breathing technique where you expel all the air from your lungs and squeeze you abs together. Then go into kibadachi. Its a punching kata moving from different stances, very strong kata I think.

Geez I need to brush up on my terminology.

White Warlock,

I can understand what your saying but that's a part of learning karate and it's out of respect to the old masters. So I wouldn't really say they are 'token Japanese words', it means if I go to Japan or anywhere in the world I can train at a Kyokushin dojo and recognize the commands regardless of what language they speak. So you see it does have benefits.

Oh well each to their own I guess.

It's also a handicap to learning and doesn't provide you with even a modicum of conversational Japanese, so you'll still have to rely on an English-Japanese dictionary just to get to that school. ;)

/tangent off, enjoy your informative discussion. :P
