Harkon72 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We play a game in our Dojo; it's called Pop Quiz. Sensei Williams calls out a name of a technique or stance or term in Japanese and the students attempt to perform it. Or he can ask a martial arts related question. The juniors have great fun with this game and it is very important. We played it tonight, even some of the senior grades joined in. I was challenged to play one to one against our shodan sempai. It was the first to score 10 points. The score was 9 - 6 to sempai Becky; then I won 3 points in a row and was out done at the very last. (A dubious decision I hasten to add.) Here were some of the questions; 1; Perform a Kage Tsuke in Shiko Dachi2: What is the correct Japanese term for a Karate Suit?3; How many Wazari make up the Ippon score? Any ideas folks? Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusotare Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 3; How many Wazari make up the Ippon score? Sorry to be pedantic Harkon, but its "Waza-ari" (and pronounced as such) not "Wazari".I wouldn't normally mention it, but if you lost on that question, you could have had them on a technicality! K.

Shizentai Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 2: What is the correct Japanese term for a Karate Suit?Well, in the US we say "gi," but in Japan they say "dou-gi" as in the same "dou" of karate"-do"3; How many Wazari make up the Ippon score?Two. 1; Perform a Kage Tsuke in Shiko Dachi Well, is this supposed to be "tsuki" meaning "punch"?"kage tsuke" is interesting... it sounds like "shadow pickle" in Japanese lol "My work itself is my best signature."-Kawai Kanjiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harkon72 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 The hook punch in sumo stance is what I performed and it was right.The proper name for the suit that my Sensei required was "Karatedo Gi"And yes there are two Wasa-ari in an Ippon or full score.
