My club of university is kendo. Kendo is part of budo. It is sometimes referred to as Japanese fencing in English, but it is different from fencing in that, for example, a bamboo sword (shinai) and special protective gear are used. A point is scored by hitting the opponent's head, trunk or forearms, or by thrusting at the throat. The winner is the first one to score two points, or the one with a one-point lead at the end of the allotted time.
My club activity usually becomes active three times a week on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at night. We always have practiced kendo in Shimane university's the Japanese martial arts room. Kendo is very interesting for me. I can get a feeling of satisfaction by playing kendo. I had played kendo for three years before I join this club. Then, I got a first rank in kendo. However, I don't reach the university's level of kendo skill so I always practice hard for reaching this level. I want to enjoy playing kendo better through improving my kendo skill !
Wow its pretty awesome you do Kendo. I have always thought Kendo was a very cool sport to play and wanted to try, but never actually done it. I've seen it in mangas and shows and always thought it would be great to learn it. Is there a lot of other students in your club? And if there are rankings for Kendo what rank are you?
ReplyDeleteHi,Vance!
DeleteMy club members are about fifteen people.
They almost have third rank for kendo but I have first rank for kendo.
So I want to rank up my kendo rank!
Hi Hiroki!
ReplyDeleteI think Kendo is an awesome sport! I've always wanted to try it once, but I don't know if there are places in Hawaii that teaches Kendo. Just like Vance, I've seen this sport in manga's and shows. What rank are you at now for your university? Good luck with Kendo Hiroki!!!
