Karate for children.
A welcoming introduction for younger karateka.
This is a portion of the website dedicated to the Children of the association. There are quizzes, technique exercises, homework while you are away from the Dojo and some games. They are entertaining, but most of all will improve your Karate skills and knowledge.
Counting in Japanese
Karate is usually taught using the original Japanese terms, and that includes counting in Japanese. The second syllable is slightly suppressed, so "Ichi" becomes phonetically more like "itch!" and "Roku" sounds more like "Rokk".
Try speaking these out loud and ask your parents to help.
| Number: | Japanese: | Pronunciation: |
|---|---|---|
| One | Ichi | Itch |
| Two | Ni | Knee |
| Three | San | San |
| Four | Shi | She |
| Five | Go | Go |
| Six | Roku | Rokk |
| Seven | Shichi | Sheesh |
| Eight | Hachi | Hatch |
| Nine | Ku | Koo |
| Ten | Ju | Ju |
