Budo (n.)
Martial arts. Same as budjutsu or bugei. The way of the warrior. Learning to live as a human being through training in the martial arts. In 1919 (Taisho 8), the dai Nippon Butoku-kai, the supervising orginization for the martial arts at the time, changed the names of gekken, jujutsu, and kyujutsu, to kendo, judo and kyudo, respectively. The term budo was then used to refer collectively to these disiplines. The new names reflected the fact that martial arts training has an important spiritual side and does not consist only of training in techniques. Today budo encompasses even more disiplines, with the term being used widely to refer to martial arts such as kendo, judo, kyudo, sumo, naginata, aikido, karatedo, jukendo, and shorinji kenpo.

Zan-shin (n.)
The body posture and state of mind in which, even after striking, one is alert and ready to respond instantly to any counterattack by the opponent. Generally speaking, after strinking one should put proper distance between one's self and the opponent and face him/her in the chu-dan posture in order to be ready for a possible counterattack. If one cannot move the proper distance from the opponent, one should put the tip of one's shinai in the centre or around the throat of the opponent to guard against a counterattack. According to the Regulations and Subsidiary Rules of Kendo Shiai and Shinpan, zan-shin is one of the conditions for yuko-datotsu. Therefore, if one does not show good body posture and state of mind with respect to the opponent after striking, a yuko-datotsu may be cancelled. Zan-shin is the state on which, after strinking with full power and without hesitation, one faces the opponent with full spirit and with the ability to respond naturally.
Spoken like a true Man of Kendo. :)Quote:

Few things please me more than having my home full of happy Kendo people talking, laughing, and enjoying each others' company. What fun!

san-sappo(n.)
An important teaching concerning three ways to overwhelm an opponent. The treee ways are "Killing the ki (spirit)", "killing the sword", and "killing the waza". Killing the ki means thas one's ki overwhelms the opponent's ki, thereby forestalling his/her attack. Killing the sword means that one controls the movement of the tip of the opponent's sword by restraining or deflecting the sword . Killing the waze means that one anticipates the opponent, giving him/her no chance to attack.
Now for your next training go off an try enact all three concepts of san-sappo. :)
that's tamashii with two 'i's.Quote:
