The following youtube video was 2016 Kanto
student kendo championship 3rd round. I would like to talk bout how
to make space to hit.
Red player is Yasui belongs to Waseda Univ,
and white player is Tomita belongs to Nittaidai.
0:37, red player hit Men from reverse side
of opponent’s shinai. It was faat stroke and good timing. White player also
tried to counter but it was late.
At 1:01, white player succeeded to hit Men
back after he induced red player into his territory.
At 2:08, white player largely swing left
ward at tsubazeri attachment and red player reacted the same direction for
defense. As soon as white player confirmed that defense, white player slashed
gyaku-Do to the opposite side and it was beautiful ippon.
In either case, white player made small
trap to confuse red player and hit unguarded moment. If you hit Men without any
other action, it is very difficult to
get ippon because opponent player try to defend. But, if you combined with fake
movement, it becomes much more easier like in the match.
