What language and what art? different arts sometimes have different meanings for the same word

Oh... Well, I've played a game called "Dead or Alive 3" where several martial arts moves used these words- one of which was called "Senko Izuna" and "Izuna Otoshi". I know that "Otoshi" means drop, so I'm figured that the above means 'Something drop'.
As for Fudo and Fujin, they're from the same game- but the character who did them practiced Okinawan Karate (and both her attacks were called 'Fujin' and 'Fudo-Fujin')... does that help?? |

Fujin to me sounds more like a person than anything else because of the jin
problem here is the fact that we do not have the kanji of the words Izuna: (n) where; which direction (ok) (n) (uk) where; what place (ok) (n) (uk) where; what place (n) one's seated posture (n) spring; fountain Fudo (adj-na,n) immobility; firmness; fixed; steadfastness; motionless; idle (adj-na,n) difference; diversity; irregularity; disorder (n) floating (n) woman's duties (n) disagreement; objection nonassimilation Senko (n-adv,n-t) all ages; great antiquity; eternity ancient times (adj-na,n) fine workmanship (n) acting arbitrarily; arbitrary action (n) batting first (n) departure of the emperor from the capital (n) distinguished war service; merit of war (n) flash; glint (n) incense stick (n) light red Fujin (adj-na,n) heartlessness; inhumanity (n) (arch) Very sincerely yours (n) wife; Mrs; madam (n) woman; female (n,vs) battle formation; lineup women's movement |

Oh my gosh!!! That's *incredibly* helpful!! Thanks!!
In "Fudo", with the first definition of 'Steadfastness' makes perfect sense- because if you saw the character do the Fudo-Fujin, you'd know! (She holds back and stays still until the enemy draws closer). Thanks for that!! |
