cathal Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Did you know that Shoto was Funakoshi's pen name? Shotokan means "Shoto's House".I thought that Shotokan meant 'house of pine waves.' Shoto is actually the meaning you're thinking about. It's actually more of the sound the wind makes when it moves through the trees. Shotokan is the house where it resides. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Did you know that Shoto was Funakoshi's pen name? Shotokan means "Shoto's House".I thought that Shotokan meant 'house of pine waves.' Hmm. That is odd. I just read that yesterday and I thought it was interesting so I posted. Turns out, my book a different interpretation. Bah!I read that somewhere as well Syphax.Did you know that Chuck Norris doesn't bowl strikes, he just knocks down one pin and the other nine faint. sorry wanted to reply to Syphax but didn't have a fact. Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tufrthanu Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I had always heard Mas Oyama's real name was Yung I Choi. Perhaps that is wrong. Here's one, a blood groove is misnamed. The groove is to lighten the sword while maintaining strength not to allow you to remove it from the suction of the body. Another is the first site of martial arts in a big budget American film was James Cagney doing Judo in Blood on the Sun. Long Live the Fighters!
