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。"

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...

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 whol...

Kendo and Rototuna Junior and Senio High Schools 2025

Rototuna High School Kendo Club 2025 Our 2025 Kendo program at Rototuna High School has now come to an end, and I want to say how proud I am of all the students for their effort and commitment this year. Every Friday afternoon has been something I’ve looked forward to — not just for the practice, but for the energy, enthusiasm, and fun you all bring. It has been wonderful to see you challenge yourselves, support each other, and grow through Kendo. I’ve really enjoyed spending this time with you, and I wish each of you all the very best in whatever comes next — whether that’s continuing with Kendo or simply carrying the lessons you’ve learned into your everyday life. A special thank-you also goes to Rototuna High Schools for supporting this program and giving us the chance to share Kendo together. Sam Tsai Renshi 6 Dan Waikato Kendo Club
