Translating Between Korean and Japanese

[swrdply400mrela]

Hi, I'm new to this forum and have worn bogu for almost half a year now. I'm reading all the posts here, but I'm having a hard time following them mainly because the "dojo" (I say this because it's a university club) I go to is mainly Korean, as is my Sensei. So all the terminology used is in Korean. Does anyone know a homepage or something that can show the Korean and Japanese equivalence of the terminology.

Below are some basic kendo vocab in Korean and Japanese

dojang - dojo
kwanjangnim / sabumnim - sensei
rae / kyung rae - rei
joon guh - sonkyo (although Koreans don't do them ;) )
bon - kata
dan shimsa / shimsa - promotion test (sorry don't know in Japanese)

do bok - dogi
hogu - bogu
homyun / myun - men (referring to men as part of bogu)
howan - kote (as part of bogu)
gaap - doh (as part of bogu)
gaap saang - tare
jook doh - shinai
mokkum - bokken

muhri - men
sohn mok - kote
huhri - doh
chireum - tsuki
twaegyuk [muhri/sohnmok/huhri] - hiki [men/kote/doh]

yeunkyuk - kirikaeshi
yeunsok gongkyuk - kakari keiko
jayoo yeun seup / jayoo daeryun - ji geiko
shi hap - shiai

Obviously the list goes on and on. Each waza also has its counterpart (such as sohnmok bat ah muhri - kote suriage men, sohnmok ppaesuh muhri - kote nuki men, etc.) but I'm not going to go into too much detail. Hopefully this helps.

Disclaimer - when Korean is expressed phonetically in English, there (supposedly) is an official method, but for this I wrote things as they make sense/sound to me. :D

Thanks for the list!

BTW, what exactly are these:

yeunsok gongkyuk - kakari keiko
jayoo yeun seup / jayoo daeryun - ji geiko
shi hap - shiai

Most the time, are sensei doesn't bother to name things. Thanks again.

kakari keiko - attack practice in which the junior continuously attacks the senior student/sensei - there's been numerous threads on this in this forum.

ji geiko - free practice/sparring

shiai - tournament/competition bout

shinsa would be the japanese word for promotion. It sounds very similar to shimsa.

Many are written in same Chinese character but pronounced differently.
( i.e. Kendo vs. kumdo )
