忍耐 + 掌握人生
10 Days
10 days.
That's the number of days left till the National Championships begins.
10 days.
That's when I will be showing my best ever kendo on the shiai-jo.
10 days.
I will be super-charged walking into the shiai-jo.
Now.
Keep my spirit up high, think positive, and tonnes of belief in myself - that I can do it.
Training in the past few weeks
Training routine has finally returned to normal - 3 to 4 trainings per week. I have been working on a number of things and I have put a simple list here to remind myself what I will need to work on tonight at training.
Improve the grasp of distance between me and my opponent.
Increase my repertoire of men & kote oji-waza.
Make those oji-waza a natural part of my jigeiko.
Suriage waza: slight wrist turn to deflect shinai. No need to move forearm.
Kote zanshin: no twirling to the side. Push in to shut down the distance.
Hiki-waza: rapid footwork. Good popping sound.
Left Leg: knee straight.
Men-utsu: Just extend both arms. No arm-lifting.
Kyoto Taikai / Jpn Golden Week
Woohoo!!! The weekend and night overtime works finally pay off. I accumulated enough time-in-lieu to get leave approval to go to Kyoto during the Japan Golden Week. That's when the 7 and 8 Dan Grading will be held, when the Kyoto Taikai will be on.
Best of all, I can meet my Kendo friends again.
10, and then 13.
