As I explained in following article,
If somebody make two fouls (^), opponent
get one Hansoku (H) ippon.
The foul includes touching shinai except
designated hilt, going out of matching place, dropping shinai, time-consuming
or inproper attachment to opponent. The attachment is called tsubazeriai and is
taken as a foul especially somebody is in dominate. Because, it doesn’t seem to
be a fair play just to attach in order to consume unnecessary time or improperly
beat opponent.
There are many idea and opinion about this
Hansoku ippon. Some people do not prefer to get Hansoku ippon. However, I think
it is also player’s competence to get many fouls and win opponent. I feel in
Kyusyu area, compared with other place, players and teachers tend to be
unbiased about Hansoku ippon and see it as just one technique to get ippon.
Below is one interesting match from All
Japan Kendo Championship at 2015. Ando is from Hokkaido, while Nishimura is
from Kyusyu in junior high school and high school, when I think is important to
make up one’s Kendo personality and intelligence.
Red player is Ando and White player is
Nishimura.
At around 6:00, 7:55 Ando’s shinai got
struck and he released right hand then. At last, 8:19 his shinai was blashed
off and gave Nishimura one advantage.
If you are given one foul, the opponent has
advantage psychologically too.
Suppose you have one foul, you have to be
careful enough not to go out of place, release shinai and tsubazeri time.
Backward movement becomes difficult in some situation, even that is a good
chance for the player. When it is a extra inning, only one another foul play
make you lose the match.
So, player who are given foul have one extra
pressure.
Nishimura aimed at beating Ando’s shinai
again and again like 11:23 and at last he succeeded to blashed shinai away at
11:37.
After this match in semi final, Nishimura
also won Hansoku ippon. Below, I will attach link to the youtube. If somebody
interested, please see it. (This time red is Nishimura, white is Umegatani)
