Westernizng (some say bastardizing), and most westerners have no clue as to use of foreign language (I bet you call cheese curds+gray+fries "whore" as well), words, most time, totally change the meaning, as in the bonzai/bawnzai example. Toeboek and dobawk (the correct is "toe") because toebawk means "to gamble". "ki" is the poper pronunciation of "cloth/clothing", not "-gi" and it is wrong to use it alone and Japanese would frown in confusion at use of it alone_

“I may need to add some dirt.” I love that phrase. Reminds me of a time I tried to show some of the practical clinch fighting applications from Tekki Shodan to someone I used to train Shotokan with, he said “That’s not karate. It’s just brawling.” My response was, “Yeah. Real fights are brawls!”

I am a member of the Indonesian branch of JTK (INKAI), since the era of Sensei Nakayama's death, we have lost relations with each other because of the existence of 2 factions, Our leaders were confused because of the differences in Japanese Sensei's mindset, especially when there were 2 JKA factions (masano and nakahara)Because of that, we were confused about looking for cooperation with the Japanese and affiliated with JTK,that's all I can say greetings from the inkai organization osh

Hey Mr. Allen, normally when I see Kata application/bunkai videos I need to watch them to vet whether I want to actually save them into my Kata Bunkai playlist for future use. Unfortunately most “bunkai” on KZfaq is useless garbage. But whenever I see one of your bunkai videos it immediately goes into the playlist, no vetting necessary because your stuff’s always good!
