cxt Professional Poster Registered: 09/11/03 Posts: 5767 Loc: USA	Xavier Ryu means "school"--sort of. Also means "tradion" or "stream" or "flow" sort of. When someone says they practice a certian "ryu" they mean they practice a specific tradition. _________________________ I did battle with ignorance today.......and ignorance won. Huey.
