New belt
« on: June 17, 2010, 11:03:03 AM »
Any suggestions on where to buy a new black belt, and to get it embroidered with my name in kanji? I'm gutted- as I have lost mine. I have looked everywhere, but to no avail.  :(

Kamae are great Siwan..good quality andc reasonable. It was a Kamae one i lent to you on Monday.

But...about getting your name in Kanji - you can't Kanji is a pictorial alphabet and kanji is essentially picture words.  To get the sound See Wan Err Enn eed you need to use Katakana.
I don't like the use of Katakana  I would be Gu u inu  Mo ru Ro which is silly.
What I did with the belt you borrowed on Monday was ask them to put the Seki Ryu Zan Kanji on both ends. This is the pictorial alphabet for Red Dragon Mountain which makes more sense.

O'i enillion prin a'i amal gur.

This is what I mean about Katakana and Kanji.
