Not many really apart from technique names. Rei - Bow Randori - Free play (sparring) Ne waza - Ground techniques/Groundwork Hajime - Start (normally for randori) Matte - Stop (a randori bout, or the whole class)

It's important to know the Japanese terms used in tournament, it's a shame when the referee calls "Oseakomi!" and your opponent looks up, thinking the referee wants him to stop, leaving him wide open for a strangle or choke...

Sho comes from the Kanji, Hatsu (初 ). Kanji have two readings in the Japanese language - there is the on yomi (Chinese pronounciation and also used when Kanji are used in combination with others) and the kun yomi (Native Japanese pronounciation). The on yomi for hatsu is sho and is as a rule only used in combination with other kanji. 初段 - Shodan 初発刀 - Shohatto (the first Omori-ryu kata learned in Muso Shinden-ryu iai) 最初 - Saisho - First, start or the beginning. Sho (初 ) is a way of saying first, but it is not a numerical counter. However, (Here's where it gets conusing!) with martial arts dan grades, the characters used after Sho are actually numerical counters. Shodan (初段 ), Nidan (二段 ), Sandan (三段 ), Yondan (四段 ) etc.
