Since I train in Japan, yeah we use alot of" Karate terminology". :lol:

There are still times when I dont understand what my classmates are saying ,so I just nod and smile.

I've learned to really closely observe the movements of my teachers and imitate the most subtle movements to make up for the times when I cant fully understand verbal explanations.

Its funny when I go back home to train though, and I hear instructors speaking butchered Japanese terms.

This is an accepted method of communication in the western taught American or European martial art schools.

I know of some Asian schools that cannot pronounce American words either. It's all part of the human experience or condition.

Once a person is corrected linguistically, the communication becomes clear and concise.

Lucky. You said when you go home..... are you just studied Karate in Japan, or are you there for other reasons? Do you notice a difference in the way they train in Japan? Reason I ask is because I'm looking to plan a trip in the near future for the intent to train in Japan.

I don't have to be the best, just better than you!
