Karate Diploma Kanji

[Silly Rabbit]

I’ll start by apologizing if this post isn’t appropriate, mods feel free to delete
However this is the only resource I’m a party to that has any expertise in this subject matter

I have exhausted all online resources to try to identify the meaning of this kanji I have found on a martial arts diploma, does anyone happen to know what it reads/means
Thanks!

I looked them up, and the first one looks almost like the Chinese Simplified character for "soft". But it's missing a line, so I don't know for sure.

軟

It also looks like "hey".

欶

But it's also a bit different.


The second one, seems to resemble these four, but still not exactly. I will include them because they look close, and might help you unravel the mystery:

㛐
unknown

埂
"ridge"

挭
unknown

浭
"Xun" (the 201st surname in the Song dynasty classic text Hundred Family Surnames)



The third is "formula" in Japanese and Chinese.

式

I hope that helps.

My pleasure, but all I did was a little Google Fu.
