Awkward 'Yoko geri' terms edit
'Yoko geri keage' means 'side kick rising kick' (check out the kanji). 'Yoko keage' is sufficient, meaning 'side rising kick'. The same goes for 'Yoko geri kekomi' - I prefer 'yoko kekomi' (i.e. the 'geri' is redundant in both terms). However, most Western karateka are used to the more awkward term, due to lack of understanding of the Japanese language. Should this be cleaned up?
