From my understading gekken means "half moon" in chinese, but there is litle information about this in english, there must exist in chinese!

I have looked into that link before i posted my question, Bruno. But as i saw plenty other links appointing to gekken being sword fencing, i realized the caption in the picture was wrong, as so often happens.
But i may be wrong, of course.
