This article was written by Philip Whittome of the Guildhall Wadokai in London (great club and a lovely group of people). The aim of this article is to give people who do not speak Japanese a better understanding of the correct pronunciation etc of the Japanese terms that are used in everyday karate training. I think that is a great piece of writing that is very informative and very easy to follow.
