What does "Jing Wu Men" mean?

[–] hufunpee 20 years ago

Jing= Energetic/perfect/excellent/refined/very/proficient
Wu= martial/military/fighting
Men= door/gate/school

So basically, it means "Best Fighting School", which comes out as an awkward title and something that is "lost in translation"; it sounds much better in Chinese.

And don't forget that Jing Wu was the name of the school.
