Kendo
Please imagine your best sports. I want to change it by this blog. I would like to introduce about Kendo. Most people think it smells bad or not fashionable. It might be true. Firstly, I want to introduce negative aspects.1. practice is very strict. When you enter the dojo, you have to make a bow. When you sit down, you have to do seiza. You do not stride over anything in the dojo. And there are many other rules.
2. teacher is like a demon. If you fall down on the floor, the teacher will say “Get out of here!”If you say “I feel sick”,the teacher will say “If you want to vomit, vomit here!” The teacher often push you away strongly by a bamboo sword. These are very common practices.
3. protector is heavy. You have to wear dougi, hakama, tare, do, men towel, men, and kote. There are 9 things that you have to wear.
4. you almost always have bruises on you bodies. We often miss the point so you almost always have them.
5. Dojo is cold in winter and hot in summer. Exactly, this is true. Also, you have no shoes and no socks. So, you oftentimes have some blisters.
6. this is individual sport. You have to fight on your own. Next, I want to introduce good points.
- you can train your spirits.
- you can be patient.
- you can have good attitude.
- you can learn politeness.
- you can learn importance of team work.
