Karate Pop Quiz

[Harkon72]

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 Dachi

2: What is the correct Japanese term for a Karate Suit?

3; How many Wazari make up the Ippon score?

Any ideas folks?

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!

Oh, that's ok; I've never seen the word written down properly before; thank you for that. I shall add it to my armory

[Shizentai]

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

[Kusotare]

Kagi (pobably) - in this respect means "hook"!?

As far as the suit is concerned , take your pick.

gi,

karate-gi,

do-gi,

keiko-gi,

Or any combination of the above eg:

Karate-do Keikogi

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.

[ShotokanGage]

What a good idea! I shall suggest this to my club senseis

Kekogi and Dogi are two names for a karate gi
