Seasonal topic: What Shorinjikempo actually is all about

[JL.]

I've finally figured out the true meaning of Shorinjikempo: chocolate.
Whether it's the beginning of the training ("Seiritsu!" "Choco!") or the beginning of the philosophy ("Kyakka choco"), everything revolves around this sweet goodness – and it should, IMHO!
Every straight movement, like the basic straight punch with a chocolate bar (choco tsuki) is clearly named for this happymaker, as well as a part of the fist itself (guess which).
Finally this should make every conspiracy theoretician weep in happiness: SHOrinjiKempO (yep, in German chocolate starts with an 's': Schokolade ^^). I'm starting to wonder what the "sho" in "shodan" and "shomen" is short for now and whether "sokuto" might be a slight misspelling …
Anyone else note anything I've forgotten to mention?

Merry Christmas,

Hi Jan,
I love the lateral thinking but you got the wrong season, for the UK at least, for Choko(late) it needs to be Easter

Happy Christmas to all

Gassho!

Chocolate's always in season in my book. ^^
And yes, in Germany it's a large part of Christmas, too: pics.
