In a karate class, what are the Japanese words for "attention" and "bow"?

Question

I was just wondering what the Japanese equivalents are for the Korean terms we use in my Taekwondo class. In Korean, "Charyeot" means "Attention", standing up straight with hands at the sides. "Kyeong-ry" means "Bow", which is obviously a bow.

Does anyone know the equivalent terms in Japanese? Many thanks.

Answer 1

Ki o tsukete - attention



rei - bow

Answer 2

karate class japanese words attention bow

Answer 3

"Iie arigato" is not proper Japanese. When you're turning down something (like an offer for a drink) you can say: Kekko desu *or* Ii desu (literally, it's good, a little more informal). As someone said above, answering "no" is too direct and impolite, but people are generally pretty understanding and forgiving for non-native speakers. :-)

Answer 4

As Shihan J said,



Ki o tsukete - attention



rei - bow

Answer 5

You are close with the Korean:Cha-ryot,Kyong-ye.Shihan has the Japanese words.

Answer 6
