Whats the difference between hojo undo and hojo undo tai

thanks

I've never heard of hojo undo tai. "The tai is likely to mean "form" in this case I would think... My best guess would be that it has something to do with preset weight forms, or forms with supplementary tools?

I realise that this was of absolutely no assistance, but I am now keen to know too!

As far as I know tai means body

I have never heard of the specific phrase, "hojo undo tai." My guess would be that it is either referring to the body you develop through hojo undo, or it is referring to hojo undo that works every part of the body.

Its supplementary exercises that don't require implements

Ah, I see. That does make sense, I suppose, but I've never heard it called by that name. Everyone I know just includes those exercises in "hojo undo."

Sensei's been to Okinawa a dozen times - he was an uchi deshi at a point, hes quite formal and traditional.

I consider him an authority but i guess everyone considers their sensei an authority.

Ah, but it can also mean against, thick, form, ill will, opposition, receive, or substance dependant upon the context in which it is used.

Anyway, glad you got it sorted.
