January 31, 201412 yr 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.
February 1, 201412 yr 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. Usque ad mortem bibendum!
February 1, 201412 yr Author 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 Look to the far mountain and see all.
February 4, 201412 yr 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
February 4, 201412 yr 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 KeikogiK. Usque ad mortem bibendum!
February 4, 201412 yr Author 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. Look to the far mountain and see all.
