BKJ1216 Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Okay well I started karate class May 12. Anyway this was my frist karate class and myself being in the poor psyichal conditon I am had to take a breather about 30 minutes into it. During this time my Sensai decided to show the others the punching techniques. Well I missed out what the japanese names for them were, and the second class I still had no luck remembering. Anyway can someone please tell me the japanese names for left jab right reverse punch and front kick White Belt- Shudokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKJ1216 Posted May 15, 2003 Author Share Posted May 15, 2003 I'm not able to ask my sensei right now. The dojo is incredibley crowded and my sensei has a knack for escaping the scene rather quickly. White Belt- Shudokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbitbob Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Then ask your seniors. What did you practice before that has you so afraid to ask questions? On Shudokan: Is that the Toyama Kanken lineage, or teh Goju-Ryu lineage? I know of one Goju dojo in Yakima, but I thought they were IOGKF. There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm!

chh Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Ashi barai. FYI, there's a "sticky" terminology post in the General Martial Arts section, might be easier to use that instead of typing all this stuff here. http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=6381 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 You should ask someone from your dojo. Everyone you ask here is going to have a different name for the same thing. My dojo's terms: Gedan = low Chudan = middle Jodan = high Uki = block Tsuki = punch Geri = Kick Mae geri = Front snap kick Mawashi geri = Roundhouse kick Yoko geri = Side kick Mae kegato geri = Front heel kick Ushiro geri = Back kick Hisa geri = knee strike Seiken tsuki = reverse punch Tate tsuki = vertical punch Utski tsuki = palm-up punch Maewashi tsuki = roundhouse punch Empi tsuki = Elbow strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
