ShotoJuku Wrote:[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Navy"]I picked this up from another thread regarding the various nicknames that we use here in the IC Forums so I thought I would elaborate on mine - ShotoJuku.
To begin, I have been studying/teaching Japanese ShotoKan Karatedo since 1971. The founder of Shotokan - Gichin Funakoshi used the pen name of "Shoto" meaning "Pine Waves" and his style was subsequently called Shoto-Kan.
I use a derivative of ShotoKan retaining Shoto but added Juku meaning "special or private school" thus - ShotoJuku.
More on this and other useless knowledge can be found at my website - http://www.SKJF.com .
How about some of the other nicknames out there????[/COLOR][/SIZE]
That's very interesting. My name "bongsau" is actually two words in Cantonese "Bong Sau." It means Wing Arm -- it's a movement in Wing Chun Kung Fu, which I have been teaching/studying for over a decade. It would appear that our arts have left a substantial impact on us, as we have choses such names with which to associate ourselves.
