I was thinking about this the other day and it still awes me how our
society dictates whether a word should be used over the other. I mean we
know chuan fa is the Chinese word for Kempo yet everyone recognizes
Kempo before Chuan fa. Directly translated both mean law of the fist.
one is Chinese the other is Japanese.
Yet society has a hard time
accepting the Chinese version. With all this new technologies we create
new words all the time. I recently discovered selfie is a new word.
Meaning self portrait with your cell phone. This is now common
knowledge. Yet we can't seem to create enough publicity for Chuan fa to
be recognized in north America. People still want to know our style as
Kempo or Kenpo.
I had pizza for supper, 2 slices. and lunch 2 slices, Then yogurt, and a fruit explosion muffin. Shopping tonight for sure.
Was able to get another load of laundry done and put away , helped with dishes, took out garbage,swept floors.
