Recently Iain Abernethy pointed out that some kata names sound like death metal bands. For most martial artists this would elicit a smile and a nod, but this blog is weird and you're weird for reading it. So for all my favorite weirdos, here is a fun little quiz. I'll present two phrases. One is a translation of a form name, and the other is a metal song. Guess which one is which, and see how many you get right!
(Quick side note: Some of these translations are disputed. Don't shoot the messenger, just have fun.)
