Section SevenJAPANESE GLOSSARYCOUNTING IN JAPANESEICHI -- ONE NI -- TWO SAN --THREESHI -- FOUR GO -- FIVE ROKU -- SIXSHICHI -- SEVEN HACHI -- EIGHT KU -- NINEJU -- TENWhen pronouncing Japanese words, many of the syllables are silent. In the numbers, the "I" atthe end of ICHI, SHICHI, HACHI are silent. Also, the "U" at the end of "ROKU" is silent. Inaddition to being more correct, this allows for a more rhythmic counting style. Highernumbers (11-99) are created by adding lower numbers together: 11 = Ju+Ichi, 12 = Ju+Ni, etc.and 20 = Ni+Ju, 30 = San + Ju, etc.For reading, and additional help the KKBK recommends the Budo Jiten by Fredick Loveret, afascinating martial dictionary. Every student should have one.Japanese Martial languageThe most difficult part of learning a martial art in a traditional dojo is learning to listen to andunderstand the Japanese words that are spoken. The Japanese commands are necessary tothe proper induction of a student into the art. Historically it is necessary, as some commandscannot be put into English without a lengthy explanation. Often times the words that are used inthe dojo are not commonly found in everyday use. The term Osu!!! Is one of the best examplesit is a contraction of the word or phrase ouso which generally means I understand and will obey.This term was adopted from the military and used in the karate dojo, the term is not commonlyfound in Iaido, Kobudo, jujitsu, or judo. In those dojo hai so desu is used most often to indicatecompliance with requests or orders. It is not our purpose to make a definitive dictionary for thestudent but instead to present some general terms that they will find in use in a Kita KazeBujutsu Kai dojo.Since we are in America, we should explain in English, and command in Japanese. In this way wemay retain the flavor of Japan Karate do with the added benefit of presenting the material to bestudied in the student’s native language.I have thought a lot about the auxillary training methods used by my first sensei, they were twofold first the body conditioning exercises. Such as push-ups, sit-ups, squat jumps, scooping pushups,two man carries and on and on, but this should give you an idea. Then the body tougheningexercises, makiwara training, forging post training, forearm smashing (either against a post oreach other), two men striking drills, stomach, leg and forearm. Here is a list of some of theauxillary training equipment, some I have forgotten the Japanese names to and some I have justforgotten.Hojo undo--auxillary training and equipment.
