I have a pet peave myself. I spent almost 20 years practicing various systems of karate; goju, tae kwon do and shito-ryu. In the shito system we were introduced to kobudo weaponry. And nothing irritates me more than when someone refers to the nunchaku as nunchucks, or worse numchucks. Yeah, I know it is a little thing but when you are reviewed by someone like
Fumio Demura you had better get your terminology correct.
I trained in several forms of martial arts as well for about 15 yrs. Combat Karate (mostly), Kenpo, Muay-Thai, Golden Gloves boxing and some Jiu-Jitsu for more groundwork. And yes that among many other related pronunciations drive me nuts. It’s not a fucking Nightstick it’s a Tonfa get it right! 🤣
My study was in traditional karate, shito-ryu itosukai (now Genbukai) We were the first of sensei Demura's dojos outside of Santa Anna, CA. He doubled for Pat Morita in the Karate Kid series and appeared in several other movies as well as authoring several books on karate and kobudo. He passed away recently but his legacy lives on in the hundreds of students, now worldwide.
That’s awesome man, yeah sadly my sifu passed away 6+ years ago and I had lost touch with him for at least 5 yrs prior to his passing. He was a great guy and taught me many things about life.
Hear that a lot from M1 shooters, which is technically correct, but then they apply it to actual magazines trying to show off their prowess. Then along comes a new shooter, and uses the term clips for a magazine becuase some old fart they heard used it. They get the death stare.
