Previously, I introduced team match of
university championship at 2009. This time, I want to introduce team match of
high school all Japan tournament at 2016.
Before 2016, Kyusyugakuin won all Japan
tournament from 2013-2015. It was very special situation, because in Kendo,
getting consecutive title was known to be very difficult.
Of course students with substantial level
at junior high school gathered and entered to Kyusyugakuin high school. But,
the ability of director Mr. Komeda to grow up students to champion level is
excellent.
Championship of high school (called inter
high in Japan) team match is 5 to 5.
Following is the youtube video from Senpo
(1/5) to Chuken (3/5).
<Senpo>
Senpo’s players both red (Mori) to white
(Suzuki) first vigilantly played so as not be hit. They were very careful and
difficult to find careless unguarded points.
3:23 white Men was good aim, if red player
went back an inch, that Men might be ippon.
White player was very good at hiki-waza
(backward) as he showed hiki-Men at 4:23. With little mistake or careless
moment, he was able to get ippon immediately.
White player might check point to hit
around 4:05. There, red player stuck out shinai not to open his place. He could
probably cope with hiki-Men but could not cope with feint abrupt Kote like 5:06.
For white player, red right Kote was
closest to hit.
End of Senpo, score from red to white was
0(0) – 1(1).
<Jiho>
In Jiho match, red player was Kawamura and
white player was Kuroki.
7:33 play was high level in terms of
carefulness. White player hit Kote with attentive not to be hit after that and
red player tried counter without missing opportunity.
High level match is like that; very
difficult to find good opportunity to get ippon.
9:19 red player’s Do was good aim, but it
was a bit distance from proper.
The white player set his feet distance
relatively wider, which made him stabilized good posture. 12:03 gyaku-Do was nice
hit.
They end up in draw, so the score remained
0(0) - 1(1). For red side, it was good time to turn the score of match. Red
Chuken was expected that role.
<Chuken>
Players name of red was Oki and white was
Iwakiri. Both of them were star players.
At 14:00 red Men was dominant than white
Kote a moment ago. Red player controlled the match as if he pushed white player
to the wall.
15:44 red player pinned point Kote at white
player’s careless moment. Halfway distance like that was most risky moment. One
player has a chance but also opponent player has a chance similarly.
Even after red ippon, white went backward
slightly while red player went forward. I think it reflected mental dominance
of red player.
Again, red player added Men with his good
momentum.
Before Fukusho match, team score from red
(Reitakumizunami) to white (Kyusyugakuin) was 1(2) to 1(1). So, at this point
Reitakumizunami turned back the score and became dominant.
