triggered Salute

[Wes Idol]

Certainly not meaning to pose any judgment upon your beliefs and spiritual/religious path, it sounded odd that you would include a japanese term "uke" in regards to an American art's tech., "Triggered Salute." Also, knowing that Parker never seemed to put his religious beliefs into our studies, it also felt odd to read "Salute in Christ."

Please know that I truly mean no attack upon your beliefs. On a side note, I am of the belief that JC did actually exist and was certainly a highly plugged in spirit.

On a last note, I would be interested in seeing this insert you speak of...where can I find it?

Respectfully,

Are 'uke' and 'tore' not common terms used to descibe a 'defender' and an 'attacker' respectively, in many martial arts?

Where did all the religious speil come from all of a sudden?

Dear Barber,

I would venture to say that Mr. Idol is trying to determine why Donald ends all of his posts with "Salute in Christ." Especially since Mr. Parker didn't preach his religious beliefs in class. (Wes is probably just inquiring through curiosity, nothing malicious I'm sure.)

Uke and Tore are Japanese terms and not part of AMERICAN Kenpo. If you want to get technical, chinese terminology would be more appropriate if the English term were substituted with something else (due to the chinese origin of "our" art).

I'm wondering... What kind of power tools do you use to cut good old Lucifer's hair? I would imagine they'd have to be sharp. Why do you use the name Satans Barber? It has a ceretain conotation too, doesn't it? :shrug:

Sincerely,
Billy Lear

Barber,
Billy Lear explained my position well. I'm not trying to attack, only inquire and understand.

Wes Idol; et al,
In response to your first question. I use some Japanese terms because I was taught that way. I guess it kinda stuck with me. To me the "traditional" terms add/maintain an air of "old school karate". Can't you just hear the hai sensei, and the slam of a good front leg sweep take down!? Feel the aching muscles, and shaking legs, but with an air of satisfaction, as you shout through the count echoing in the dojo, ich,ni.... Now regarding the 2nd part of your 1st question. What connotations of spirituality would the term uke conjour up? I am not aware of any Eastern religious teachings tied to these terms? As to why I sign off invoking the name of, Jesus Christ. Quite simply I believe that He is who He says He is, IAM... For that reason I want to honor Him in everything I do, and just maybe encourage someone else. I probably won't stop you in the street, knock on your door, or call you on the phone, but by God's grace I will pray for all. I hope I've answered all your questions satisfactorily? If not please let me know.
Salute in Christ,
:asian:

Thank you for responding. My question regarding spiritual/religious was connected to "salute in Christ", not "uke." Traditions do mean a great deal to me, as do history. If we don't know where we came from, we will never know where it is we are going, for we have no points of reference. I still refere to my Kenpo Father as "Sifu", as this was his choice. I only asked because Parker made such efforts to use English terms, being it an American art. Please take no offense in my questions. Your willingness to share your perspective is appreciated.

In regards to Christ and your beliefs, I honor them as your path and truth.

Respectfully,

Ah, I see, I thought he meant that 'Uke' was a religious term of some sort, which was what confused me! My mistake!

I'm know as that all over the web, not just in here (www.satansbarber.co.uk !). The name itself comes from Sweeny Todd, but I also do it partly to piss off religous zealots! Sorry, that's just my cheeky nature, I too aren't malicious! I like winding up vegetarians as well when I get the chance.... :rofl:

Hehe, whilst we were in America there was an advert on the TV all the time that said

"You know, a meal's not a meal......without meat!"

Since one of the lads I was with is a veggie it provided endless fun!
