* ''Japanese'': 序破急 ''(johakyuu)''
''Jo-ha-kyû'' is a concept of modulation and movement applied in a wide variety of traditional Japanese arts. Roughly translated to "beginning, break, rapid", it essentially means that all actions or efforts should begin slowly, speed up, and then end swiftly. This concept is applied to elements of the [[sado|tea ceremony]], to [[kendo|kendô]] and other martial arts, and to the traditional theatre.
