The following youtube video is from 2017
all Japan Kendo championship 5th round. Red player is Hoshiko
belongs to Tsukuba Univ, and white player is Obata belongs to Osakafuritsu
Univ.
Red player in the match is very good at
telling border between safe and danger. So, he dodges precisely and also hit
precisely his convenient timing.
This white player is also strong and
competitive, it looks difficult to find unguarded place to hit easily.
First 2 minutes, they sounded out each
other by attachment. First, red player hit good hiki-Do at 2:00.
At 2:30, they looked hit Kote-Men at the
same time, but red player reacted a moment earlier. So it became ippon. His
snap was strong and produced effective hit with small swing.
After he got ippon, he came to show strong
defense by positioning and sharp insight. If they had distance, white player is
taller and might have more chances to hit.
At 3:31, red player killed the space by hitting
sharp Kote. I think this is not only the purpose of getting ippon but for
decreasing unnecessary risk of being hit from distance.
At 3:45, he stroked hiki-Kote by utilizing opponent
positioning change. Though it didn’t touch Kote, timing was good.
At 4:18, he utilized white player’s force
and hit hiki-Men.
