5 Preface In front of you is the final English edition of the manual Terminology. The Dutch version of the manual was produced in 1992 by Harry de Spa, former Chief-Instructor for Holland & Germany, and myself. Substantial help was given by André ter Veer, one of the senior instructors from IOGKF-Nederland. Corrections on the first English version I received from the late Harry de Spa, Garry Malone, Peter Lembke and Remco van der Kieft. Corrections on Japanese language for this first English edition were made by Higaonna Sensei. Future versions will contain more Japanese. I hereby would like to thank all these people for helping me to produce these editions. I hope much of the readers will make an effort to inform me about mistakes or missing information. In that way I will be able to produce another upgrade of this manual on terminology in the future and we will be of more help to our fellow Karate practitioners. The terms in this manual were abstracted for 75% from IOGKF sources. These sources include Higaonna Sensei s books, videos, interviews, official IOGKF publications, seminars, etc. I hope this manual on terminology will help the Karate practitioner in its attempt to gain clarity on the Way of Karate-Do. Even though the content is rather down to earth, I believe a clear and correct terminology will be of additional help in learning, understanding and transmitting Okinawa Goju-Ryu Karatedo. This public version was produced as donationware. It is meant to be copied and spread. New owners are asked to consider giving a donation or other form of support to TERA (Tibetan Education & Relief Association). TERA is a registered charity in the U.K. 1 You can contact the treasurer, Richard Hartree, through ( @compuserve.com); telephone (+44-(0) or send a check to the treaserer: Stables Cootage, Sibford Ferris, Banbury, Oxon OX15 5RE, Great Brittain.

11 Introduction When a westerner first observes the Japanese language he will encounter a variety of unknown symbols that mean even less to him than ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. However, in a short time he will find out that there are largely two groups of symbols used, simple ones and more complex ones. Kanji The complex ones are called the 'Kanji' which in fact are Chinese characters. These Kanji generally have the same meaning as they would have in China, however they are often pronounced differently. For example the word 'Kara' ( ) from 'Karate' ( ) is pronounced as 'Kong' in (mandarin) Chinese. Sometimes the pronunciation shows more resemblance, as in the word 'Do' ( ) from 'Karatedo' ( ), which is pronounced as 'Dao' in Chinese. Actually, most Kanji have at least two ways of pronounciation in Japanese, which can differ radically from each other. These two different pronunciations are called the 'On' pronunciation, which is close to the original Chinese pronunciation, and the 'Kun' pronunciation, which is an added Japanese pronunciation. For example the character: is pronounced both as 'Shu' (in 'Shuto' = 'hand sword/knife') or as 'Te' (in 'Karate' = 'empty hand'). The Kanji were originally so-called 'pictograms, just like the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, or simply speaking: 'drawings'. In some of the old Chinese characters most of us can recognise the meaning without having any understanding of the Chinese language. The oldest Chinese characters date from at least 1600 BC and arrived Korea and Japan in the fourth century. Kana The generally more simple symbols are called 'Kana' and are actually divided into two groups, the 'Katakana' characters and the 'Hiragana' characters (see below). Hiragana is used for creating Japanese sentenses with kanji. Katakana is used for expressing foreign words like 'Holland' (Oranda; ) Hiragana Katakana Romanisation (Romanji) For the romanisation of the Japanese language to our western alphabet (the roman letters), several systems have been developed. These romanisation systems are a guide to how we have to pronounce the Japanese words, written in our own alphabet. Below you will find the 'Hepburn system' as an example. In this system, the vowels are pronounced as in the Italian language, the consonants English language. S. Leijenhorst 5
12 Writing a 2 e o yo ju ja shi sha chi cha tsu etc Pronunciation aa ee oo as in yoga as in juice as in jazz as in sheep as in shag as in chinchilla as in chachacha or charleston tsu etc. The Chinese words used in this syllabus are rendered in Mandarin dialect, according to the Pinyin transcription. Words in Chinese and Okinawan dialect are rendered in italics. 2 Vowels with a short sound (a, e, i, o and u) can be separated from vowels with a long sound (4 0 r p ö). 6 S. Leijenhorst
13 Historical terms Daruma; Ekkinkyo; Senzuikyo; Japanese name of the Indian monk Bodhidarma (Chinese: Ta Mo). According to Chinese mythology, Daruma founded the Chinese martial arts when living in the Shaolin (Japanese: Shorin) monastery, were he taught the Ekkinkyo and the Senzuikyo (see below). Literal: 'classical text on transforming the tendons' 3. The Ki-exercises derived from these texts bear the same name or are called Ekkin Kiko ( ). Literal: 'classical text on washing the marrow'. The Ki-exercises derived from these texts bear the same name or are called Senzui Kiko ( Three Kiko exercises from the Ekkinkyo 4. Shorinji; Bubishi; Okinawa; Fujian; Fuzhou Literal: Young Pine monastery; the monastery where Daruma lived when residing in China and teaching the monks the basics of health-gymnastics and martial arts. The monastery still exists and is located in Henan province, near Dengfeng county. Several other monasteries have existed with the same name, e.g. in Fujian. It is said that the latter has played an important role in the development of martial arts in this area and is therefore of historical importance for Goju-Ryu Karate. A classical Chinese text on martial arts, containing the principles of Okinawan Karatedo. Japanese island where Karatedo originated. Chinese province where Karatedo has its roots, particulary in the area of the town Fuzhou. Capitol of the Chinese province Fujian. The town where both Higaonna Kanryo and Miyagi Chojun studied Chinese martial arts. 3 These text are attributed to Ta Mo (± 500 AD) and contain health-gymnastical exercises which, according to the legends, were the basis of the Shaolin Quan that was developed later. And thus also considered as the roots of Karate which partially evolved from the Chinese martial arts. However most historians agree that this link is not very substantial. Nevertheless the concepts behind these exercises are similar to Shaolin Quan and Karate. Namely, they are physical exercise as a basis of spiritual training. 4 This version of the Ekkinkyo is sometimes said to be developped by the famous marshall Yue Fei. S. Leijenhorst 7

The first character is an old name for China, that was used during the Tang dynasty. So Karate originally was named 'Tang hands' or 'Chinese hands'. 'Te' of 'hands' is a symbolic word for martial art. Later the first character was replaced by:. This word is also pronounced as 'Kara' in Japanese, however it means: 'empty'. The word 'empty' refers one the one hand to the fact that Karate is mainly an unarmed form of combat, on the other hand it refers to the Buddhist philosophy, that inspired the development of Karate, in which 'emptiness' is the essence of (an enlightened) mind. 8 S.

Because of this one's body can move relatively free in all directions, without losing balance. 20 S. Leijenhorst
27 Renoji Dachi Japanese character 'Re' stance 44. Bensoku Dachi Scissors stance. Sagi Ashi Dachi 45 Heron stance; one leg stance. Neko Ashi Dachi (as in Gekisai Dai Ni). Renoji Dachi (as in Seiyunchin). Bensoku Dachi (as in Sepai). Sagi Ashi Dachi (as in Saifa). The first three major abilities one has to aquire in practising stances are grounding, rooting and centering. Grounding can be divided into:. keeping the body upright.. keeping the center of gravity above the supporting plane (between and below the feet).. aligning the body with the force of gravity.. relaxing the body downward.. lowering the breathing.. extending your feeling attention into the ground. Rooting adds the following aspects to this:. pushing the feet into the floor.. grabbing the floor with the toes and sides of the feet.. imagening your feet are like roots, sticking deep into the ground (mind projection). All these actions orginate from the lower abdominal region (Tanden). Centering consists of:. positioning the spine on top of the lower abdomen.. abdominal breathing - centering the breathing in the lower abdomen.. centering the mind in the lower abdomen.. being ready to move from the lower abdomen.. 44 The Japanese character 'Re' is written as. The position of the feet is similar to this Japanese character 'Re'. 45 Also called Tsuru Ashi Dachi or crane leg stance. S. Leijenhorst 21

34 Kyusho The Kyusho listed below are taken from charts from the book Traditional Karatedo, Volume 1 by Higaonna Sensei. The Kanji, translations, anatomical descriptions and suggested relationships to acupuncture points are based on other sources and my own research. Since the book, mentioned above, does not contain the Kanji, it is likely that some of the Kanji given below may be incorrect. The Kanji below are based upon my minimal knowledge of Japanese and Chinese language and other literature on martial arts and oriental medicine. Apart from that, the transmission of knowledge also suffered from language barriers in the past (analphabetism, oral transmission, different dialects, different languages, etc.). Some names of vital points used today, may be quite different from the one s used in the past. They may sound the same but have a different meaning. For that reason some names of vital points may be incomprehensible simply because their original meaning is lost. The selection of related acupuncture points is based on a large list of sources, both from martial and traditional medical literature. However in some cases, because of inadequate descriptions or drawings in martial arts literature (and even in some modern acupuncture manuals), they are only estimations. It should be noted that, despite the relations between the Chinese martial and traditional medicine in the past, the names of the vital points used in Karatedo and other martial arts mostly differ from those used in acupuncture, Shiatsu, etc. General localisation & Name Leg Translation Related Acupuncture meridian & points Kori; High advantage.

Spleen 10 (stomach 32-34; gallbladder 31) 55 Yako; Nocturnal Luminescence. Liver 10 (liver 11 and 12; spleen 12) If the word high refers to a high part on the foot than the related acupuncture point would be stomach 42 (Shoyo ; Chinese: Chong Yang). Liver 3 is generally known to be one of the most vulnerable points on the dorsum of the foot. However, it is much harder to attack than stomach 42 which is, being the joint the between the tarsus and metatarsus, vulnerable as well. 52 Also called: Kusagakure. 53 Chinese: Cao Mi. 54 This name refers to the similarity between a crouching hare and a contracted quadriceps muscle. 55 In acupuncture the point Fukuto only refers to stomach 32 (Chinese: Fu Tu). Possibly it is used in martial arts to denote several points on the thigh, because the thigh as a whole (m. quadriceps femoris) looks like a crouching rabbit, not just one point. In Higaonna s Traditional Karatedo, volume 1 the point Fukuto is located on the lower inside of the thigh, in the area of the acupuncture point spleen 10 (Kekkai; ; Chinese: Xue Hai) which is generally known to be a very vital point. Gallbladder 31 is located on the lateral side of the thigh and is also known as Fushi ( ; Chinese: Feng Shi) or Fushito. 56 Yako usually refers to the inguinal area. Several vital points are located here. It is an area were the main arteries, veins and nerves of the leg cross this area, without being covered by a thick layer of muscles. 28 S. Leijenhorst

Conception vessel In Chinese medicine and healthgymnastics the word Tanden is generally used do denote a deep energetical center, rather than a more superficial acupuncture point. The acupuncture point at the level of the Tanden is Ganken (Chinese: Guan Yuan ( ); passage to the origin (of vital energy)). 62 Based on the description given by Funakoshi, G. and Harrison, E.J. (see references). The point Kikai ( is generally considered to be the most important point in the area directly below the umbilicus and is located 11/2 below the navel. 63 Commonly known as the solar plexus (plexus solaris). 64 This point is below the nipple, just below the pectoralis muscle, between the 5 th and 6 th rib. Maybe the lower ridge of the pectoralis muscle reminded people of a wild goose s belly. 65 The name Danchu (Chinese: Tan Zhong) is used in acupuncture for vital point between the nippels (Conception vessel 17). In most Karate sources the point Danchu is located slightly higher, between the manubrium sternum and corpus sternum. In acupuncture the latter point is called Kagai (Chinese: Hua Gai). 66 Another name for this point is Dokuko (or Dokko);. The second pictogram of this name shows great similarity to Sen in Dokusen. Possibly one of these, or even both, is a misintepretation. It is not uncommon that names of acupuncture points, Kata, movements, etc. changed through history. Practitioners of martial arts, as many other citezins, were not always literate and the exchange of knowledge between different countries was a language barrier on it s own. 30 S. Leijenhorst

The crown of the head corresponds with the acupuncture point Hyakue and is located on the line connecting the eartips (when the neck is straight). The frontal fontanel is closest to the acupuncture point Xin Hui ( fontanel closing ) and lies 3 in front of Hyakue ( ; Hundred meetings; Chinese: Bai Hui). Shomon usually refers to the frontal fontanel. 69 Heart 3 corresponds with the chart. Other vital points in the area were the elbow is pressed together ( Tsume ) are large intestine 11 & 12, lung 5, pericardium 3, small intestine 8. Some authors differentiate between Uchi Hijitsume and Soto Hijitsume. 70 Shaku is a unit of length of 30 cm. This is approximately the length of a forearm. As such Shaku is a symbolic term for forearm. The word Taku means swamp. Words like swamp, creek, sea, etc. were, and still are, used in acupuncture to denote vital points (accumulations of vital energy or Ki ). Water is often used as a metaphor for vital energy, the life force. 71 There are a few other vital points on the back of the hand. The one on Higaonna Sensei s chart appears to be Large intestine 4, also known as Gokoku ( ; uniting vally; Chinese: He Gu) or Koku (or Tora Guchi; tiger mouth; ; Chinese: Hu Gu) S. Leijenhorst 31

53 Kata Kata; Form; style; soloform. Heishu Kata (Heishugata); 'Closed hand' soloforms 121. Kaishu Kata (Kaishugata) 'Open hand' soloforms 122 Gekisai Dai Ichi; Attack and destroy Gekisai Dai Ni; Attack and destroy 2. Saifa; Destroying strikes. Seiyunchin; Unbalancing in a fight. Shisochin; 4 directions fight 124. Sanseru; 125 '36' (hands) 126. Sepai; '18' (hands) 127. Kururunfa; Holding on long, striking suddenly; free translation: 'silence before the storm' 128. Sesan; '13' (hands) 129. Suparinpei; '108' (hands) 130. Sanchin; Three battles. Tensho; Rotating palms 131. Koshiki No Kata; Classical froms; old forms. 121 Closed hand does not refer to the hands but to the Tanden that is closed (tight) throughout the Kata. 122 Open hand does not refer to the hands but to the Tanden that only closes at the moment of impact (or towards the end of a Muchimi movement). 123 This, for Karate unusual aggressive name, reflects the time in which Okinawa was a battlefield of Japanese-American war. 124 'Sai' means (just as in Gekisai) 'destroy; 'Fa' means 'strike' or 'smash'. Typical for this Kata are sharp striking techniques such as Uraken Uchi, Tettsui Uchi, Haito Uchi, etc. 125 The character Shu ( ) is not spoken, it is placed there so is reminded 126 The names of the Katas Sanseru, Sesan, Suparinpei and Sepai are Chinese names. In written language the word 'hand(s)' ( ) is added behind these names, indicating that the characters should be pronounced according to the Chinese or On pronunciation. In speaking language this character is left out. It is said that these names are related to Buddhist numerology. E.g. Sanseru, 36 (6 x 6), refers to eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, spirit and color, voice, taste, smell, touch and justice. It is also suggested that the numbers (originally) referred to the number of techniques in the Kata, the number of applications (Bunkai Kumite) or the number of vital points (Kyusho) to which the techniques in the Kata are directed , according to Buddhist numerology, is built up from 3 x 6; 3 refers to good, bad and peace; 6 refers to color, voice, taste, smell, touch and justice. 128 'Kuru' ( ; Chinese: Jiu Liu ) means something like 'remain', 'hold on' or 'await'; 'run' (Chinese: Dun), in Chinese calligraphy, means: the pause or slowing down before an accentuated movement of the pencil is 'released'. Interestingly there are various transitions in Kururunfa with a similar character is a number of luck and wealth in Chinese culture , according to Buddhist numerology, is build up from 3 x 36. These numbers have the same meaning as in Sanseru en Sepai. 108 refers to the 108 evil passions that can obstruct a human being in his to enlightenment. 108 appears in many cultures as a holy or mystical number, in nature it is the amount of years between to one cycle of lunar eclipses. Every 108 years there is a maximum lunar eclipse. 131 An other name for Tensho is 'Rokkishu'. Literal this means: six vital energy hands. It refers to six different hand-positions found in the Bubishi. S. Leijenhorst 47
54 Happoren; Literal: eight steps training. This Kata is considered to be a predecessor of Sanchin Kata and probably a source of inspiration to the creation of Tensho Kata.
