Language

Gengo [言語]

When we speak of language, we have to think about how that influences others. In short, we’re talking about the power of suggestion.

It is clear that using certain terminology and phrasing can influence the direction someone might be thinking.

For those who take self-defense, especially martial arts, you have to consider how you use terminologies to explain the methodologies being used in a defense situation.

This becomes extremely critical when dealing with a legal system because terminology used on the dojo floor to explain how things are done and why they’re done will come back to haunt you , as a prosecutor starts picking your story apart to convict you and put a win tick in the win column.
