 |
|
Hey, hope everyone's training is going good. Not sure of this should go here or somewhere else.
Two questions
1. Has anyone made up their own kata/drill
2. If so how did you come up with a name (if you did)
Thanks! |

Yes, as a JBB. In the dawning of musical Kata, competitors at those tournaments created, made-up, their own Kata to the music of their choice within the prescribed time limits.

Just made it up at the spare of the moment; usually right before it was time to bow-in. For the longest, before the newness of it all fell away, I used Te-Fu-Do-Geri...which doesn't mean a darn thing, but as a JBB, it sounded pretty darn cool.
Those were the days.

Te-Fu-Do-Geri sounds pretty awesome, is it a required kata at your dojo? |

No. Like I mentioned in my first post in this topic, it's a made up kata and made up name for musical kata's at tournaments in the early 1970's. I suppose that Te Fu Do Geri might mean, but I strongly doubt that, because I made it up...
Te = Hand
Fu = Gentle
Do = Way
Geri = Kick/Feet
The Way of the Gentle Hand and Feet

There's a running joke in our dojo. By itself, "Keri" means kick. When used with an adjective, it becomes "Mae-Geri", "Sokusen Geri", "Mawashi-Geri", etc.
"Geri" by itself means "diarrhea", and the Okinawan masters will laugh at you if you try to use it (by itself) to say kick.

Now that is interesting. How unfortunate for those not in the know!

You beat me to that one. It was all I could think of when I originally read it
Edit: while we’re at it, Kancho also means enema, in addition to the MA meaning. |
