I introduce the last match of team final.
Red team won this match at end of sansho (5/7) match (link: https://www.learnkendo.com/2018/11/all-japan-student-final-at-2009-team_28.html).
Red player is Yamashiro from Kyusyugakuin
high school. White player is Morihara from Kojyokan high school. The following
is the youtube video.
The characteristic of both players reflects
both team’s characteristic. So, red player is mobile, has many variation of
skill and stroke, and good footwork. On the other hand, white player is
powerful, standard basic type, strong pressure before stroke.
The team result was already decided, so
they played with their own pace, and own pride.
3:48 ai Men (simultaneous Men) was
impressive for me, which both players stroked with full technique, strength and
spitrit.
The flow of this match was not fast, but
steadily went toward good end. Please just enjoy this match without cunning and
clever exchange each other in the match.
I am talking other topics related to this
match. Somehow, 5 out of 14 players from both teams were from Okayama. I don’t
know why, but this year 5 people out of 14 members total at final, were from
Okayama prefecture (2 from Kojyokan, 2 from Kurashiki, 1 from Saidaiji). It was
interesting.
National athletic meet was held at Okayama as
a host when these guys were 3rd grade students at high school. They
were trained very strictly as high school and that might be one cause players
from Okayama were good this year.
Another topic was about team match.
Different from individual match, manager has to consider right person in right
place for team match. I will list up the suitable character told in general
(not adapted all team).
Senpo
aggressive, young, vibrant, lively, fast.
Jiho
understand flow from senpo and properly play.
(Gosho
between Jiho and Chuken)
Chuken
strong, steady, own pace but understand score and play properly.
(Snasho
between Chukne and Fukusho)
Fukusho
calculate score, strong mental, adaptability to any situation.
Taisho
strongest mental, strongest player, understanding the score and play
peoperly.
5 vs 5 match is most common, so I consider
mainly about 5 to 5 team match based on knowledge and experience.
Getting back on track of this match, which
is a watershed point? It is difficult to say the most important point, but at
least, Jiho, Chuken, and Sansho were key matches for both team.
Jiho accelerated team score, Chuken broke opponent
fighting spirit, and Sansho finished the match.
In the serial articles, I mentioned about
team match. 7 to 7 match was interesting but long (^^) actually.
