Tori and dori are interchangeable. In reality, they are the same word.<br><br>Since the word itself is Japanese, the pronunciation can justify either spelling equally well.<br><br>Tue, 30 Oct 2007 06:25:21 GMTTristanhttp://www.aikidobukou.com/bukouforum/Topic450-7-1.aspxTonight while reviewing some aikido techniques from both the student handbook and videos I noticed something odd. <br><br>Within the handbook I came across the familiar technique kata tori sankyo, which I went to review in video format. To my bafflement I only found kata dori sankyo, which when reviewed appeared to be the same technique.<br><br>After a bit of research I came to the conclusion that "dori" and "tori" are interchangeable. So anyone else who finds them confused by this change of wording, they are the same thing. So I believe... if not I'm sure someone will correct me. <img align="absmiddle" src="http://www.aikidobukou.com/bukouforum/Skins/Classic/Images/EmotIcons/Smile.gif" border="0" title="Smile">Mon, 29 Oct 2007 21:30:41 GMTjgapen
