愛媛大学剣道部コミュのI had a presentation(>_<)

今日学校でﾌﾟﾚｾﾞﾝがありました｡ってゆっても、ｸﾗｽ内で5,6分の間に自分で決めたﾄﾋﾟｯｸを発表するといるもの。4つのｸﾞﾙｰﾌﾟに別れとって2,3人の前で発表するんを3回繰り返す。時間なくて大変だったんですけど、ﾄﾋﾟｯｸを「剣道」にしたんで☆せっかくやけん紹介させてください☆たぶん見るだけで嫌になると思います。(笑)

I want to introduce about KENDO.
Do you know KENDO? Have you ever done KENDO in your life? KENDO is Japanese martial arts.
I belong to KENDO club in a university in Japan. I started it when I entered as a freshman in high school. Because my brother had done KENDO since he was 8years old. So I had seen it and I had thought I want to try it for a long time. It is a few people who start KENDO after grow up. So I wavered in my judgment,belong or don't belong. But I decided belond to a KENDO club. I think KENDO is very difficult and hard. However, it is very exciting.

Next I want to explain about this rule. It's very simple. Do it one to one and only just hit some points. Those points are head, arm, middle of body and neck. Neck is most dangerous of all. This game take for about 4 minutes and it has 3 rounds in a game. Either one hit 2 points on ahead, he or she is winner and finish the game at this point in time.
The foul play are get out of the area and drop the bamboo sword(SHINAI), the very dangerous action, adull attitude and so on. We must follow what referee to say. Referee are 3 person and they judge a point which is just hit or not. Sometimes there is misjudgment because jiudge by human. Anyone cannot say definitely that it is correct. That's where the difficulty lies.

Then I'm going to tell you about the player. The player wear a specil uniform. First, I wear DOGI and HAKAMA. And I put on TARE in my waist, I put on DO in my middle of bady. After that I wrap a thin towel around my head and put a mask on my face. This mask is called MEN. I put on KOTE in my hands and hold the bamboo sword in my left hand. Don't wear socks and shoes. Alwas I have to be bare foot.
How to hold the bamboo sword is right hand is up side, left hand is bottom of the grip. How to settle my legs is right leg is step forward, left leg is step back and stand on the point of my toe.
As soon as start the game, I have to shout at own voice. According to do as a such, I can conentrate in my game and I can pressure for competitor. Also when I just hit a point, I must shout the word. For example, you hit head, you can shout "MEN". But the ward like this is different each other.
KENDO uniform is heavy. It looks not hard but actually it is too hard. It looks easy sport but actually it is very difficult. KENDO is deep and deep.

As I said in the first, KENDO is Japanese martial arts. It can discipline mind and bady. And it to drow in personae stature. Those are very important things. So I recommend you to doing KENDO.
If you have a chance that you can try KENDO, please try! If you have a chance that you can watch the KENDO game, even watch it please. I think I want to try KENDO in Canada. I want to know that how does foreiger feel to doing KENDO.


さて?、かなりｱﾊﾞｳﾄな説明ですけど^^;
外国の人に、自文化を教えるのは難しいﾃﾞｽ(>_<)
日本人はなんとなく知っとるけん理解してくれるんやけど、
まったく知らん他国籍の人はﾊﾃﾅ？がでてたっぽいです(-_-;)
しかも時間なくて掻い摘んでしか話せんかったし(>_<)
英語って大変ですね！
みなさんも機会があれば外人に説明してあげてください\(^o^)／
自己満ﾄﾋﾟでした！笑
