I found one interesting timing Men, so I
introduce today.
The youtube video following is 2019
quarterfinal individual match of Fukuoka preliminary of all Japan high school
kendo championship.
Red player is Seura belongs to Wakamatsu
high school, while white player is Ryunosuke Ikeda belongs to Ohori high
school.
The reason I wrote first name of Ikeda is
that he has twin brother belongs to same high school playing kendo. Name of him
is Toranosuke, and he also won other side of the tournament and went to
quarterfinal, too.
Go back to the subject; this match, white
player showed many variation of Men and Kote that confused or made red player
stuck sometimes and won the match.
At around 1:35, white player hit Kote as if
he stuck his sword. It was sharp and skillful Kote. Although only one judge
admitted as ippon, it worth praising hit.
From 3:15-, white player move toward
opponent player. Red player anticipated Men and tried to counterattack Do, but
white player tricked one thing here.
White player didn’t hit directly the Men,
if that happened red player’s Do might be effective. Instead, white player
shifted one step and hit Men at abnormal timing.
That was enough to trick red player and
white player succeeded to capture red player’s Men.
Before this hit, white player stroked Men
at another timing at 2:33. At that time, he stroked more standard timing.
To make this technique possible, strengthen
wrist snap is necessary. And player also needs steady and swift footwork.
The rumor says Ohori is very strict at practicing,
so he had been trained and that made it possible this tricky Men.
