This could go in the study or bar area but it concerns Martial Arts terms, people, and objects, so I put it here. If the admins. feel it should go elsewhere please move it.
It simple, simply identify the what is listed. I'll start with ten somewhat easy ones.

1. Mas Oyama's karate instructor
2. The art of fast sword draw techniques
3. Korean for endurance
4. A Japanese chain
5. Second son of Gogen Yamaguchi
6. Japense pressing sword foot block
7. Name the four fighters to win the first PKA World titles
8. Chinese concept of "NO-Mind"
9. The classical Chinese "Book Of Changes"
10. A Hawaiian Sumo wrestler who was called "Takamiyama"
