MKS Martial Glossary v1.0

The MKS Martial Glossary is a glossary of 450+ common Japanese terms as primarily used in the Shito-Ryu syllabus of Mushin-Kai International and other styles. Some terms are also found in other Japanese and other Asian martial arts.

This app is intended to provide students and those interested in Martial Arts with standard translations for numbers, terms, techniques, katas and more. An exhaustive English-Japanese dictionary this isn't. Also, the Japanese language does not directly translate into English. Definitions and spellings can appear to be subjective. Feel free to let us know where we can improve.
