Few Thoughts after the shiai keiko on March 15 - Dabao in Chinese

18.03.2008

老师们, 我继续用中文表达我打剑的感受,因为中文能更好的表达我的想法。

通过上周六的小比赛,我感觉自己有少许进步了。特别是在KIAI方面,能冷静的发出"怒吼"了。能做出点RANXIN的感觉了。

比赛的对手是老骆,他的气势很强,我一直很"郁闷"和他对决,但是偏偏每次都遇到他(所以我还是很郁闷,哈哈。。。)。

所以在比赛前,我让自己COOL DOWN,把老骆想象成我自己,那么我就不会惧怕他那强有力的气势。我就想像对手就是我自己,我要打倒的就是我自己,所以这次表现比前两次比赛好很多。

真正的对手是自己本身,不是其他人。这是我这次比赛的心得

Marleen's translation: The real opponent is ourself rather than others. This is what I thought about after 15th Shiai.

至于动作,技巧方面,那是需要通过艰苦的大强度的训练才能提高的。老人说水到渠成,所以我会继续努力训练。

我给比我训练刻苦的同学们一句谏言:"不要太着急练成 '绝世武功',云在天空,水在瓶;一切顺其自然,我们练的就是云水剑

Marleen's translation: Do not hurry to achieve the invencible waza. Through daily training regularly training/ practice, we will achieve the higher level naturally.

不是吗?" 哈哈。。。。欢迎大家指正。

Kendo Dōjo basic etiquette & commands for beginner & kyu grades

Kendo Dōjo basic etiquette & commands for beginner & kyu grades Thanks to Janet for organising this article. When entering & leaving the Dōjo (道場, training hall), we need to bow respectfully from the waist, first towards the direction of Joseki (上席), in our case this is the Waikato Kendo Club WKC banner.  (But in Japanese dōjo there is often a Kamiza (上座) with a small Shinto shrine or altar displayed with religious significance). And then bow towards Sensei & Senpai on your way in before neatly organising your belongings on the side & getting ready quietly. At beginning of each Keiko( 稽古), Sensei(先生)or Senpai(先輩) will say: Line up -  Seiretsu (整列) :  We will need to quickly find our position along a horizontal line facing Sensei (in the middle) in order of our experience/ rank with Senpai (Seniors) on the right and Kōhai (Juniors, 後輩 ) & Shoshinsha (Beginners,  初心者 ) on the left. Standing straight facing the front, holding Shinai firmly...
