We use that name to symbolize the art and knowledge that we know and have access to, but is hidden to all, only to be used when when no other alternative is available. Thus it is kept in the dark, hidden, not to be used until physical confrontation is unavoidable.

All class practice is done in shoes. Each enrolled student is given a t-shirt to train in. You are not going to be attacked by someone in a karate gi (uniform), or most likely not while barefooted, thus we practice as though it is REAL. That’s why we practice in a variety of settings and circumstances.
