Please keep this up! I'm by no means an old timer or have been around for a while. But, I try and follow in the footsteps of my seniors who lived this era and loved to talk about it allt he time! What they didn't tell me or that I know is great to study and find out the answers to!

1. literally a pistol you hide in the fold of your kimono (yes, men would wear kimonos as well as women in Japan)
2. The Mikado
3. Fumio Demura probably wrote almost all the books on kobudo in the modern era it seems! And Dan Ivan! This is why I love these quizzes. I didn't know about this better than any Hollywood story

2. Geinyu-no jitsu is what

3. the " All American Invitational Karate Championships" was founded by

4. Blood Vessels are controlled by what element in Chinese medicine

1 -- Alan Lee or Wai Hong I'd guess

4 -- I'm guess either water or wood since they control the kidneys & liver respectively depending on where in the cycle (Pre Heaven or Post Heaven Qi) blood is being created or possibly earth since the spleen can be involved with the spleen qi keeping the blood in the vessels... So take your pick. I'm much better at breaking than fixing.
