Maybe it's my fault.
這也許都是我的錯。

Maybe I led you to believe it was easy when it wasn't.
錯在我讓你們相信這一切都來的很簡單。

Maybe I made you think my highlights started at the free-throw line,
and not in the gym.
錯在我讓你們誤認為我所有的成就都是從那罰球線灌籃開始的，
而不是體育館內的不斷練習。

Maybe I made you think that every shot that I took was a game-winner.
錯在我讓你們以為我投的每一球都是致勝球

that my game was built on flash, and not fire.
還有我的成就是一瞬間造成的而非累積下來的。

Maybe it's my fault that you didn't see that failure gave me strength,
that my pain was my motivation.
錯在我沒讓你們發覺失敗給了我力量，我所承受過的苦痛是我成功的原動力。

Maybe I led you to believe that basketball was a God-given gift
and not something I worked for.
錯在我讓你們認為籃球是上帝賦予我的禮物而非我努力得來的。

Every single day of my life.
我生命中的每一天我都這麼覺得，

Maybe I destroyed the game.
或許我毀了這個運動。

Or maybe, you're just making excuses.
又或許，你們只是在找失敗的藉口。"

How do you practice seme?

Kobayashi Hideo Sensei – How to Seme (w/English CC) 小林英雄先生 - 攻め方 How do you practice S eme ? Very early on, I have heard of the “Three Opportunities to Strike”: strike when your opponent’s technique is about to start, strike when your opponent’s technique ends, and when the opponent is mentally and physically depleted. Since then, this line of thinking has given me a direction in how to train. In 2017, Utsunomiya sensei, 7-dan kyoshi, came to visit us and taught me the concept of “okori”. That reminds me of the conversation that happened 8 years before that in 2009 with Morioka sensei, also 7-dan kyoshi, who asked me: “What is the timing or reason of your strike?” I think most people are familiar with the idea that you should “ seme then strike ”. However, when do you strike after seme has been a source of struggle for most kenyu. That’s why when I saw the video from Kobayashi Hanshi where you seme for the purposes of creating “okori” , I felt this added a whole other d

Happy Rabbit Year 2023

We wish everyone have a Happy Rabbit Year Saturday 21 January 2023 Keiko Reflection - Janet As lunar new year of the rabbit arrives so is our Dojo welcoming new beginners to get a taste of what kendo is like. While the beginners learned brand new ideas, the senpais were reminded of the basic purpose of Kendo, which is self discipline, development & improvement of our body, mind, & spirit. Constantly striving for a more perfect & beautiful cut rather than being just a form of self defence or stick fighting. Ashi-sabaki or footwork ( Kouda sensei demonstration ) is very important in Kendo particularly Suriashi or sliding steps as it not only look more graceful & elegant, but also would reduce noise when moving on wooden floors & reduce likely injury from stepping onto hidden weapons or obstacles on the floor in medieval Japan. We were also reminded of the basic sequence of engagement during a kendo duel: 1. Holding good Kamae (on guard position, Kouda sensei demonst

Having good Senpai is a wonderful thing in Kendo.

13/03/2016 Yesterday's training was really hard! I thought everyone there make effort to do kendo without sensei (going to Auckland for the Yamagami sensei's seminar ) . There were quite a few problems I met from the training, for example I was scared when Claire senpai and Kevin senpai was about to hit me, and let kensen move away from centre. It may take time for me to modify my psychology. And I should improve my posture in the following training. Thanks to Nicole senpai for telling me a lot about how to maintain boku. I felt her passion in Kendo is exactly the same when we were training together and chatting after class.
