Talk:Kinjite

Hey, I remeber a movie I saw in the 80's with Charles Bronson. The movie was called "Kinjite - The forbiben Object" It was about kidnapping a little girl and Charles had to rescue her. But that's not what this definition in the dictionary says! What is the real maening of this Japanses word?

It means...
"forbidden technique/move/hand"

The first character 禁じ means 'forbidden' and you most often see it on signs that say 'no trespassing' or 'no smoking.' The second character means 'hand' which could also be considered 'move' I suppose. The second character 手 does not solely represent the actual hand or arm of a person, but also to indicate skill, technique, or various other things.

If you have Japanese support enabled on your browser, you can go to this page to get a list of all kanji compounds that include the hand character. As you can see, it has lots of different uses.

Biting
Is biting forbidden? I would expect it to be banned, since it is normally in the same category as eye gouging and "below the belt" attacks, which are banned in sumo wrestling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.108.67.97 (talk) 17:54, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Other sumo no-nos
I think the list in the article is not complete. I'm pretty sure that sumo wrestlers are not allowed to spit at each other (spitting in the opponent's face could be used to disorient him if it were allowed), and not allowed to grab the loose knot of the mawashi if it comes un-knotted-- you're only allowed to grab the part of the mawashi which actually encircles your opponent's waist.

Another no-no
This is not an actual Kinjite but more of a minor breach of etiquette: after you push your opponent out of the ring, you're supposed to stop, not push him again to make him go flying off the platform into the front row of the audience. The great Yokozuna Hakuho often does this, and has been reprimanded, and publicly apologized for it. HandsomeMrToad (talk) 23:31, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
