In Bojutsu kata names, what's the difference between 'Kon' & 'Kun' ?

Also you should be aware to not mix Japanese and Okinawan pronunciation. For example: yonegawa-no-kon (nihongo) and yuniga-nu-kun (uchinaaguchi) are correct, but not yonegawa-no-kun (mix of both).

BTW, in this connection, technical terminology within the kata of kobudo are standard Japanese, such as Shomen-uchi, yoko-uchi, gedan-uke, etc.pp. While kobudo is claimed to be hundreds of years old, there is hardly any name of a technique that has been handed down in Uchinaguchi. In fact, the terminologies of kobudo have only been created since the second half of the 20th century.
