The Striker - "Thunderbolt" Gi Patch

Embroidered Sew-On Gi Patch The Striker is characterized by the weapon, the tool which is an extension of his own nature.

The name “The Striker” is the rough English equivalent of what is believed to be the earliest Indo-European name of the god who champions order in the name of The Father. Linguists and comparative mythologists have reconstructed the name Perkwunos for the thundering warrior god of the Proto-Indo-Europeans, based on surviving evidence in other languages and a proposed *PIE root, *per-, which meant “to strike” and/or was associated with the oak tree (*pérkʷus).
