Hi all,
I've been doing some research into the back ground names of shotokan karate. Can anyone explain what they mean and why direct translations mean completely different things?
Kanku dai
Bassai dai
Enpi - Kata not elbow strike
Sochi
Embusen - suppose to be line of movement but doesn't translate as that.
Thanks for any of your time spent helping
