Only people from jejudo. Most are different on the same "severity" of British vs. American, but Jejudo vs. Satndard is like Jamaican patois to standard.
That's interesting. I've never actually heard "uke" used to mean "to block". I've always used "uke" to mean the person receiving the technique, and "ukemi" refers to the body of techniques that person will use (mostly referring to falls and rolls, but also including delivering good attacks, etc.). At least one of those is probably a mistranslation, too. Mind you, we don't use a lot of Japanese in our training, so it may be more commonly used that way than my experience shows.
Nah, it just means blocking. We. Must. Be Accurate. Dangit.I'm not an expert, but I've ready elsewhere that makgi means to interrupt or forestall. So to your point, it doesn't really mean "block" per se. You're not blocking the opponent's attack, you're interrupting it.
The Japanese names of the "blocks"* in karate generally include the word "uke", as in "Jodan Uke" (upper block).
Interesting. Both my Karate instructors (lo, those many years ago) used English names for everything.The Japanese names of the "blocks"* in karate generally include the word "uke", as in "Jodan Uke" (upper block).
I think the literal translation is something closer to "receive", as in you are receiving the punch and handling it appropriately. For arts in the jujutsu family of course, uke is the person receiving the technique being demonstrated.
*(If you read enough threads in the Karate forums you will see there is considerable debate regarding the "correct" meaning and application of these techniques. Are they blocks, strikes, parries, grappling techniques hidden in the bunkai, all of the above, something else? Opinions vary widely.)
Can you translate Hyunas smash hit, Bubble Pop, in its entirety?
"Fix your uniform" would be something like 도복정리, although I don't know if Korean classes say it at all. I don't know if they say 뒤로돌아 either, as it's informal and such commands would be said in noun form and not imperative. For kneel, it would probably be 무릅! or 무릅꿇어.
