My dictionary has "blockade", "stoppage" for _heisoku_. Is that some specialized meaning in martial arts perhaps? Heisoku is written with kanji meaning "Close, shut, confine, end" and something that appears to be non-Joyo. "Teisoku" it defines as "an established rule; a law", written with kanji meaning "fixed, regular, constant" and "rule" Are you sure you're remembering the words correctly? -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'.
