Some basic terminologes from Japanese martial arts
Raw
terminologies.md

Some of the terminlogies from eastern martial arts:

  • Uchikiru is to complete your strike without regret

  • Zanshin is choosing to live your life intentionally and acting with purpose rather than mindlessly falling victim to whatever comes your way.

  • Ki ken tai ichi is the unity of the mind, sword and the body

  • Katas is the exercise where the novice repeatedly tries to emulate a master.

  • Kumite is a supervised exercise between two students, or between a student and a master

  • Koans are questions without absolute answers which are used to break down assumptions and reveal underlying truths. The goal of a koan is not the answer, but thinking about the question.
