Translation please

[Barry]

I'm trying to come up with the translation for the word 'Antelope'.
Would someone please help?

Hi Barry,

Antelope translates as reiyou (or reiyô).

Hope that helps!

Thanks Eric! Anyone have any ideas for a Dojo name. right now it's
looking like the Bujinkan Buyu Antelope Dojo.

Lots of them, but give us a hint what you would like the name to express, or the philosophy/essence of this dojo... That would help to find an appropriate name.

I live in the Antelope area of Calif. I will be teaching the Basics of the Bujinkan. I hope I can contribute
to the development of the buyu spirit in those students I will be working with. And of course
trying to pass on to them the insight that my Soke (Hatsumi Sensei) is giving us.

Barry,

There is a native Japanese animal called "kamoshika" that looks pretty much like the European chamois, and is a species of antelope, I believe. It is a mountain animal unlike our pronghorn, but it is the closet equivalent species.
