What is "keiko"?
I have seen the term "keiko" used several times in the forums but have not been able to determine what this word means. Can some of you out there help me out with this? Thanks, James

Re: What is "keiko"?
I understand one of its meanings is "practice"....
I'm sure there's more to it tough...

Re: What is "keiko"?
It depends on the kanji. It can be a girl's name
It is kind of like training, but there is a more spiritual connotation (I think). For regular sports, like baseball, you would say renshu.

Re: What is "keiko"?
keiko
To reflect deeply on the past
It has the connotation of studying a tradition, not simply practicing techniques.
It tends to be the way I think of my time on the mat...

Re: What is "keiko"?
ŒmŒÃ KEIKO. This is a compound word composed of
(1) Œm The ‘厚Œ¹ Daijigen gives 'kanga(eru)' and 'todo(meru)' as readings for this word. There are several basic meanings: to think or dispute, to stop, and to bow low. The Chinese-derived reading (from ji / qi) is KEI. This is combined with:
(2) ŒÃ furu(i), inishie, meaning old or ancient times. The Chinese-derived reading (from gu) is KO and the combination gives KEI-KO, which means to consider or contemplate ancient matters and by transference, to pursue scholarship, academic learning, or other training.

Re: What is "keiko"?
P.Goldsbury- If that's true, could you use keiko to describe training in calligraphy or other art forms?

Re: What is "keiko"?
Hello James,
As always it depends on the kanji. Keiko could be an oral contraceptive pill, a tendency toward something, provisions you carry.
Yes you could utilise the word to describe any training, apparrently.
Thank you for asking your question
