Terminology

There are many terms used in karate and other martial arts.  Sometimes different terms are used to refer to the same thing, such as juji uke and kosa uke, or the same term is used differently according to the art, school or style.  Often, Japanese, Chinese, Okinawan and other dialects are the source, and this can add to the confusion. But ultimately, it is the technique and results that are important, not the correctness of the nomenclature. Here are two links (dictionary and glossary) to assist in understanding karate terminology, but you will find other terms used depending on where you train.
