1 Australian Academy of Martial Arts Pty Ltd. TERMINOLOGY AND GREETINGS FOR WHITE AND GOLD BELTS All sports and cultural pursuits have their various and sometimes peculiar terminology that must be understood by their practitioners to enable them to participate in and appreciate that sport or cultural pursuit, with the greatest of satisfaction. With reference to Karate-Do, the International body controlling Karate, The World Karate Federation (W.K.F) has adopted Japanese terminology for officiating in all International Karate-Do Championships and Tournaments. Therefore, to communicate in a common tongue with International Karate Players, it is necessary to be familiar with and versed in a few relevant Japanese terms. Please note that the only Japanese terms taught are those necessary to assist us in fulfilling the above mentioned objectives and that it is not compulsory or necessary to learn conversational Japanese. A Beginner student of Karate-Do with only little but regular attention to these terms over a short period of time will quickly become confident and proficient in their use. Instructors will assist to this end with the pronunciation of terms each lesson. The following phonetic pronunciation reference list is to assist you in your endeavours and reinforce your class instruction. OFFICIALS Shihan (She-harn) Chief Instructor Sensei (Sen - say) Teacher (Instructor that bears the grading of 4th Dan and above) Sempai (Sem -pie) Senior member of the Club and refers generally to all Black Belts 1
