Description
For those interested in the nuances of Karate, this book provides a detailed understanding of the Japanese language as used in the martial art. It covers the basics of Japanese grammar, including sentence structure, verb forms, and adjective usage, as well as a concise history of the Japanese language and its writing system. The book also delves into the specific Japanese terms used in Karate classes and textbooks, including kanji and romanisation. Additionally, it explores the etymology of key words and their usage in other martial arts and languages. This comprehensive resource is suitable for students of Japanese martial arts beyond Karate, as many terms overlap with Judo, Jujutsu, and Korean martial arts like Tangsudo and Taekwondo.
