Okay, thread resurrection...

I am a bit confused over use of kanji.

I was always under the impression that it was "ki-ken-tai-ichi" 気剣体一 as in "mind, sword and body as one" but now I realized that there was another way of writing and pronouncing it:

"ki-ken-tai-icchi" 気剣体一致 which I guess would be "mind, sword and body as a union/cooperating".

Both kanji combinations give the same amount of hits on Google. Are both used interchangably (the difference is not big), or is one more correct than the other?
