TO SEE WHAT THE MEMBERS THINK:

an idea would be to have the terms divided you country/language so it would be easy for us to look up.
EX. have like the work KOREA with a korean flag. and next to it some of the styles that are korean, Tae Kwon Do, Tang Soo Do.

Or when someone give you a term you could put who it was sent by so if another member had a question about it the could ask them

just an idea, let me know what you think

Kyokushinkai - to meet, join or associate/ The Way of Ultimate Truth

I'll try and get some terms from my style soon. I think Chazz's idea of splitting the terms via country is also an excellent idea.

How about making a small note to the side of certain ones saying which MA they are primarily used in? ie Uraken - Backfist (shotokan, kyokushinkai, Wado Ryu) etc ?

Just a suggestion :) I'm off for a sleep now!

Osu!

Some terms we use in Filipino and Indonesian martial arts. There will be several terms for some items ... this comes from the fact that there are different regional terms and such ... and bear in mind that I'm just scratching the surface. I'll try to put the most commonly used [in America] term first. Also, there may also be other spellings of some of these terms. And in some cases I may have misspelled something because I've heard the term but not seen it spelled.

Filipino Martial Arts:
Eskrima, Arnis, Kali: all terms for Filipino Martial Arts ... some historical difference between them, but largely synonymous today. Though, in general, "Kali" refers to blade-based arts and "Eskrima" and "Arnis" refer to stick-based arts ... but this is not always the case and is a broad generalization.

Gunting - literally: scissors ... used to describe any scissoring motion and usually related to limb destruction techniques

Siko - Elbow

Baston, Olisi - Stick

Daga, Baraw - technically a double-edged knife over 18" long ... now used to refer to pretty much any blade in training

Espada - literally: sword ... most commonly heard in "Espada y Daga"

Espada y Daga, Olisi y Baraw: literally: "Sword and Dagger" or "Stick and Knife" ... commonly used to refer to any long and short weapon training in FMA

Pilipit - Joint lock

*Panantukan, Pangamut, Suntuken, Kamut-Kamut - Filipino boxing ... derived from weapons, especially knife

*Sikaran, Pananjakman - Filipino kicking arts, the flip side of Filipino boxing

*Dumog, Buno - Filipino grappling arts

*These are sometimes isolated for sporting competition ... combatively they really comprise the Filipino empty hands

Isa, Dalawa, Tatlo, Apat, Lima, Anim, Pito, Walo, Siyam, Sampu - numbers 1 - 10

Tabak toyok - Filipino nunchaku (though unlike the nunchaku, one handle is shorter than the other)

Dulog - tip of the stick

Punyo - butt of the stick

Sak sak - "hammer" grip (usually refers to a knife)

Pakal - "ice pick" grip

Sumbrada - literally: shadowing ... refers to counter-for-counter drills

Hubad Lubad - "hubad" = to tie ... "lubad" = to blend ... this is a set of flow drills. Their main focus is to teach trapping and not getting trapped but they also teach sensitivity, finding holes, closing holes, economy and efficiency of motion, flow, and relaxation. While different in detail, these drills are analogous in concept to the Chi Sao drill of Wing Chun.

Tadjak - stomp

Sipa - oblique kick

Cuentada, Contra - counter

Sungkete - curving thrust

Prawas de Panastas - parry and cut

Tabon de Panastas - cut and check

Licky de Panastas - evade and cut

Palasut - scoop

Kuntaw - refers to Filipino arts (primarily from the Southern Philippines) which have Chinese roots (their method of spelling/pronouncing "Kun Tao")


Indonesian Martial Arts: Some of these terms are used differently in different systems of Silat ... the definitions I've given here relate specifically to the way my instructor teaches

Pentjak Silat - umbrella term for the martial arts of Indonesia. The term "Silat" is also used for many arts from Malaysia and the Southern Philippines.

Pentjak - refers to the solo practice (juru and langkah)

Silat - refers to the application

Kun Tao, Kuntao - refers to arts practiced in Indonesia with Chinese roots (mostly by Chinese whose ancestors migrated to Indonesia as political refugees)

Kuntao Silat - refers to a blending of Kuntao and Silat ... rare since the Chinese and Indonesians rarely got along. This blend is mostly found among Chinese-Indonesians and Dutch-Indonesians who were seen as "inferior" by the Chinese and the Indonesian and were, therefore, not monitored very closely. Thus, they were often able to train with people in both camps.

Juru - short (usually) form which (generally) focuses on development of the tools of the upper body

Langkah - literally: footpath ... refers to forms which develop the tools of the lower body

Sambut - application of elements from the juru and langkah

Bunga - literally: flower ... refers to the "flowering" of material (for instance, in a form)

Buah - literally: fruit ... refers to the application of the Bunga

Kembangan - ("banga" related to "bunga") "flower dance" ... some systems have pre-set kembangan forms others use this term to refer to improvised free forms

Petjut - literally: whip ... is a principle commonly used and also refers to flexible weapons (i.e.: the Tjipetjut system ... or Cipecut in the modern spelling [the "tj" combination, along with other things, were from the Dutch colonial days but the "c" and "tj" are both pronounced like "ch" ... I'm using the "tj" spelling mostly because it's easier for English speaking people to read phonetically).

Satu, Dua, Tiga, Empat, Lima, Enam, Tuju, Delipan, Sembilan, Sepuluh - Numbers 1 through 10

Sapu - literally: broom ... refers to a sweep where the instep hooks the leg and lifts

Biset - refers to a "foot drag" sweep where the leg is moving backwards through the opponent's base and the foot drags across the floor

*Dalam - inside

*Luar - outside

*Usually used in conjunction with Sapu and Biset (i.e.: Sapu Dalam, Biset Dalam, Sapu Luar, Biset Luar) to describe the relationship to the opponent from which the takedown is effected

Puter - turn

Kepala - head

Puter Kepala - literally: head turning ... refers to a throw where the arm is lifted while the head is pushed in the opposite direction (I believe Aikido calls this "Kaiten Nage")

Siko - elbow

Kaki - leg

Kenjit Siko - literally: elbow compression ... a takedown wherein I am in a horse stance with my left leg behind my opponent's right leg and we are hip to hip. My left arm is extended in front of his chest. By compressing my left elbow through him, I dump him over my left leg.

Kenjit Kaki - literally: leg compression ... a takedown which compresses the opponent's leg (i.e.: might be done with a sidekick to the back of his knee)

Tarik - pull

Dembul - knee

Tarik Kepala - pull the head ... a takedown done by (you guessed it) pulling the head

Tarik Dembul - pull the knee ... bet you can't guess ... a takedown where you pull the knee (i.e.: if I put my knee on his foot then pull his knee to the left or right)

Siku-siku, Trisula, Tjabang - Sai

Kris - a type of dagger (usually with a wavy blade, but not always)
