Japanese Word Today – Kunoichi くノ一
Kunoichi (くノ一) is the term for a female ninja or practitioner of ninjutsu (ninpo).
The term is thought to derive from the names of characters that resemble the three strokes in the kanji character for woman (女 onna); said in the order they are written: ku (く) – no (ノ) – ichi (一). Early literary quotes include Enshū Senkuzuke Narabi Nihyaku In (遠舟千句附并百韵) (1680) as well as Maekuzukeshū (前句付集) (1716), which specifically associates the word with the kanji 女 supporting the etymology of being overpowered.

Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man Workout
“Since 2003, [Robert Downey Jr.] has trained using the Wing Chun technique made famous by Bruce Lee, a discipline that’s become a part of his daily routine.”
“This is all about focus. Wing Chun teaches you what to concentrate on, whether you’re here or out in the world dealing with problems. It’s second nature for me now. I don’t even get to the point where there’s a problem.”
