The Japanese Kendo Contest, looking at the name, may make people mistakenly think that it is a contest for contestants' rights to participate in a certain event, that is, the qualifiers.
But in fact, this is the highest standard kendo competition in Japan, equivalent to the Japanese champion in the field of kendo.
When Japan hosted the 1964 Olympics, they tried to add "traditional Japanese sports" to the Olympics, and they ended up choosing judo.
At that time, both kendo and karate were considered, so the Quanjian Federation has always been hostile to the Japan Judo Association, thinking that they have robbed the opportunity that originally belonged to kendo.
Of course karate thinks so too.
Then the three who were hostile to each other were hostile to Sumo together, because only men can participate in sumo, and were excluded from the consideration list by the International Olympic Committee from the beginning.
The Sumo Association said: "This is wrong. There was no women's judo in the first place. It was only for the Olympic Games that women's judo was opened. Kendo also began to accept women at that time. Our sumo association also wanted to accept female athletes, but there were no women. willing to do it."
All in all, there is no worldwide kendo competition now, so the "Japan Tournament of Players", which looks a lot like a qualifier, is the highest standard competition in the field of kendo.
Although its name will always make people mistakenly think that this is a competition similar to the Demacia Cup.
Now that I and Ma happen to be free, it seems like it would be good to go to the tournament for the right to play.
While chatting with Asano and Yuuji Tsunano, he wandered back to the residence of the mobile team.
The content of the afternoon is mainly to take kendo lessons.
It stands to reason that an anti-riot police force does not need kendo. If it is really practical, it is better to learn the stick technique or the Jumoni spear technique of the Treasure Academy.
The latter can come in handy when using explosion-proof forks.
The kendo subject that Hema is responsible for belongs to psychological training in terms of training classification, that is, the main purpose is to strengthen the spirit.
It shows that the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department also think that ordinary people practicing kendo can only play a role in exercising their spirit.
The mobile team's kendo class is in the training hall, which also doubles as a venue for judo and karate classes.
Anyway, these three don't need any equipment in class, just an open indoor field is enough.
You said that if you want to teach Wing Chun, you have to give a wooden dummy, right? You don’t need this in judo and karate, as long as you have a muscular man, you can take classes.
For kendo, just take an extra bamboo knife and just stand up and make gestures.
He entered the training hall with Ma and found that the captains of the various teams of the mobile team had assembled the people.
There are four teams in total, one team sits on one side.
As soon as He Ma came in, everyone looked at him in unison, and the whole venue fell silent.
He Ma: "Then what, you gather like this, and wait after you gather?"
Chang Ye Yuji asked on behalf of everyone: "What should I do if I don't wait?"
"You guys are singing, have you ever seen Lage?"
I have met He Ma before. I had military training three times in my previous life, one each in junior high school, high school and university. Pulling songs is an indispensable part of military training.
He Ma Xiandai still remembers the set of words called war when he pulled the song.
In all fairness, la song should be a good means to cultivate a sense of competition and collective consciousness.
Asano raised his right hand high: "What is the club called Lage?"
He spoke Chinese directly with Ma, because he couldn't think of a more suitable Japanese translation for a while.
"Is that what, uh, a competitive improvisational choral project performed by a small group within a large group?"
Asano hurriedly complained: "What is that? Did you find that you can look very knowledgeable by arranging a long list of Japanese words together?"
He Ma: "I'm a graduate of Dongda University. I'm actually very knowledgeable."
Some members of the mobile team exclaimed: "You are from Dongda University? Then why don't you wear a gold watch? You must have been exiled to this place because you don't have a gold watch?"
Kazuma couldn't help but take another look at the guy who made such a childish statement.
But the face he saw matched the speech very well, with a childish feeling.
He Ma: "The one who asked the question just now, how old are you?"
"20." The other party replied immediately, "I joined the mobile team after graduating from junior high school."
He Ma was speechless: "You are actually younger than me."
Asano: "You are also younger than me, because the police college takes more than one year."
Yuji Tsuneno said at this time: "It's not that the more years you study, the better. If you judge the pros and cons by the number of years you study, then the most awesome is the guy who studies medicine, because most of the medical courses are seven-year courses."
At this time, Sakaki Kiyotaro coughed, and everyone's attention was attracted to him.
Sakaki Kiyotaro: "Enough gossip, let's start the kendo class."
Kazuma nodded: "That's it. Maybe many people don't know me yet, so let's start with my self-introduction. I'm Kiryu Kazuma, your kendo instructor who came to take up the post today, and I'm Miyagi Shinkage According to legend, the disciple of Sword Master Shangquan Zhenggang won the Jade Dragon Banner twice and the Kuixing Banner once."
Hema did not claim the title of "Apple Juggernaut".
"I opened a kendo dojo in Tokyo. In addition to teaching normal competitive kendo, my dojo also teaches actual combat skills with real knives."
Real sword sparring is expressly prohibited, and He Ma received a lot of criticism when he and Ma Jianyi drew swords at the Kuixing Banner Awards Ceremony.
It's just that Chima Kenichi's father has a high position in the police force in Osaka Prefecture, and Kamizumi Masahiro personally endorsed it, so the criticism was suppressed.
Although real sword sparring is explicitly prohibited, it is still no problem for general dojos to teach skills such as drawing swords.
Just get permission from the Quanjian Federation.
He Mayou obtained the license honestly. In order to obtain this license, he represented the East Japan Kendo Federation in the third year of the Kendo East-West Battle, and successfully beat Kinma Kenichi, which added a lot to the East Japan Kendo. Less glamorous.
He Ma introduced the qualifications of his dojo in detail.
This is also a habit of him, Chiyoko asked him to solicit business for the dojo all day long, and he memorized all the words over time.
After talking with Ma, the young man who was only 20 years old raised his hand.
He Ma pointed to him: "You say."
"Instructor, what's the use of learning kendo in the mobile team?"
Kazuma: "I have successfully resolved the hostage incident of the Osaka people and the subsequent hotel bomb threat, thanks to my kendo."
He paused, and corrected: "Rely on swordsmanship and Wuzi submachine gun."
"We still have to rely on the gun, as expected, the way of the sword is useless." The kid said so.
He Ma suddenly moved in front of him, and stabbed him in the throat with the teaching bamboo knife in his hand.
"If you can be as fast as I am, you can take on enemies with guns in close combat."
Kazuma looked around at the crowd, waited for a few seconds before continuing in silence: "Of course, with my speed, if you hold a gun in your hand, the chances of winning will be higher. That's why Kiryu Kazuma, the swordsman at the end of the shogunate, said that a pistol is better than a sword. Much better."
He Ma matched the rhythm of his speech, revealing the holster under the windbreaker.
Sakaki Kiyotaro frowned: "Isn't that our gun?"
"I have a gun license and can legally hold this PPK."
Immediately there was a chatter among the people below, and it was obvious that PPK's response was much stronger than He Ma Gang's bamboo knife poking his throat.
The kid whose throat was poked just now shook his head and said, "Sure enough, it still depends on guns."
He Ma: "The reason for relying on firearms is that most people can meet opponents with guns. But for individual opponents, firearms are useless unless you are proficient in traditional American martial arts."
Hema has never met a guy who has mastered the traditional American martial arts—the so-called gun fighting technique.
If Uesugi Soichiro didn't bluff people, then the strong cowboy should be able to confront the young Uesugi Soichiro head-on and be slightly better.
Yuji Changano was obviously not convinced: "I don't think there is an enemy in this world that even guns can't deal with."
Hema glanced at the martial arts level above his head, and thought it was because you hadn't surpassed level 30, and you didn't have an entry, and you didn't even have the qualifications to see that world.
But Mouth and Horse agreed: "In short, everyone should treat kendo training as a pure exercise of spirit. Anyway, you will never encounter enemies that cannot be dealt with by guns in your life. It is better to practice shooting skills hard."
At this time, someone muttered: "I don't think we even need to practice shooting skills. When we are actually dispatched, we mainly use riot shields and rubber batons."
He Ma joked, "At least a dozen tear gas shots should be fired, right? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the shot didn't hit the target?"
Everyone laughed.
But Sakaki Kiyotaro said at this time: "I have seen enemies that guns can't deal with."
Everyone became quiet all of a sudden, and looked at Sakaki Kiyotaro in unison.
The old man calmly picked up the thermos cup and took a sip of the water soaked in tea, and then said slowly: "It was in the 1950s, I was a patrolman, and I patrolled the street on a bicycle. A guy who stabs people in the street, seems to be hacking his cheating wife to death.
"In order to stop the heinous crime, I pulled out my sidearm, fired six shots at a distance almost to the face, and emptied the magazine, and all of them were dodged."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, because of Sakaki Kiyotaro's prestige in the mobile team, no one questioned the rationality of this narration—except Asano.
Asano: "It's actually quite difficult to shoot a pistol accurately. After all, the barrel of the gun is so short, as long as you open the distance of seven or eight meters..."
Sakaki Kiyotaro interrupted Asano: "I said it was close to the face, right? That's the distance that no one should miss. But that guy dodged all six bullets and hacked his wife to death in front of me. You guys Go check the records of that year, and you should be able to find it. This is the biggest stain in my police career."
After deliberating with Ma, he said, "I also dodged the bullet. During the Osaka incident, Kenichi Kinma from Kansai and I besieged the main culprit Li Zhenghe. He was equipped with heavy firepower, but we were not shot in the end. "
Sakaki Kiyotaro looked up at Kazuma: "Are you sure you can teach everyone present this technique of dodging bullets?"
He Ma shook his head: "No. In fact, even if I say that I am sure, you have no way to actually verify my words. Because most of them will not encounter someone holding an M1917 American-made Smith & Wesson and firing wildly at you."
"Sure enough."
Yuji Changno: "Actually, you can use rubber bullets to demonstrate bullet dodging for us. We don't have MP5 here, but there are enough firearms that can fire rubber bullets. How about I submit the application and you can demonstrate it to us?"
Kazuma was about to answer, Yuuji Tsuneno said again: "I've heard enough of those martial arts masters' rhetoric, saying that the mind and skill are integrated, and they blow the sky loudly. In the end, when I really fought, I was knocked down by three moves."
"That's probably because you met a counterfeit." He Ma said.
According to his understanding of the world of kendo, 99 out of 100 people who have integrated mind and skill do not know what is integrated with mind and skill.
The premise of the integration of mind and skill is to have a soul entry, that is to say, you must have a strong enough soul.
After all, this is called the integration of mind and technology, and the heart is in front of the technology.
Most of the so-called masters in the kendo world are actually liars like Ma Baoguo.
Of course, unlike Ma Baoguo who relies solely on deceit, most of the liars in the kendo world are pretty good among ordinary people.
Just like the Kimura that Bai Fengfeng used to look for, with a level of more than 20, beating a dozen ordinary people is like beating my son. When I met Kazuma with a real knife to kick the hall, he ran very fast and was very funny. A human-shaped hole was left on the paper sliding door of Baifengfeng.
Chang Yeyuji spread his hands: "Just now in my competition with you, you didn't take the move seriously. I think you are similar to those. Anyway, I don't feel any difference between you."
He Ma: "You were the one who wanted to compete empty-handed with me just now. Now I have a bamboo knife in my hand, if you want to beat me, please accompany me."
Yuji Changno sneered: "You hold a bamboo knife and have the advantage of attacking distance. What's the difference between this and Laipi?"
He Ma laughed loudly: "That's what you, a half bucket of water, would say. A real judo and karate master would not care if I have a bamboo knife in my hand. In fact, they will ask me to hold it Fight them with a bamboo knife."
Tsunano Yuuji laughed out loud and didn't take it seriously.
He Ma curled his lips: "Why don't I call a karate master I know to come over and give you a practical demonstration, so that you can feel the unity of mind and skill."
He Ma knew a 67-level karate master, that is Mr. Suzuki, the housekeeper of the Nanjo family.
His karate was still taught by the old man when he found time.
Originally, Kazuma felt that it was too early to consider comparing with these people over 60, but Soichiro Uesugi had already taken the initiative to kill them.
It's better to accumulate some experience against these powerhouses as soon as possible.
"I will send him an invitation and arrange it when he adjusts the time." He Ma said.
Yuuji Sugano: "So you arrange an exhibition match? It'd better be as exciting as WWE."
Frowning with Ma, WWE is the American professional wrestling league. Professional wrestling is a project that is more performance than actual confrontation. WWE matches are actually arranged.
All professional wrestlers have personal designs and nirvana.
The most famous is Mexican player Mascaras' direct hit of the sun's rays. This trick is to use the guardrail of the professional wrestling field to take off and then fall from the sky to attack.
Qingliu was obsessed with professional wrestling for a while, and watched it on TV every day at home, and watched it with Ma for a while.
From the perspective of a martial arts practitioner, this nirvana that the sun's rays hit directly is easy to hide, and it won't hit people at all if it is not an arranged match.
Now Yuuji Tono is using WWE to arrange a fake match with Yin Yang and Ma.
Kazuma frowned, at this time he had already noticed that this Yuuji Tsunono was not satisfied with himself as the new instructor and was deliberately finding fault.
He didn't know what blocked his way when he was dispatched here.
He Ma secretly sighed.
Now to convince Yuuji Changano, let's fight him with a bamboo knife. He said that he took advantage of the props, and he probably wouldn't admit it if he lost.
Find someone to come over and perform a martial arts duel that reaches the inhuman realm. He said it was a show.
Fight him empty-handed, you have to use the advantage of the venue to guarantee victory.
Sure enough, no matter where you go, dealing with interpersonal relationships is troublesome.
After thinking about it with the horse, the only solution is to fight him empty-handed and win.
He glanced at Chang Ye's level, and his karate level was at a disadvantage, and he rarely practiced karate.
At this time, I can only rely on my own experience in the integration of mind and skill.
Kazuma: "Chang Ye, don't you just want to have a fair fight with me to decide the outcome, come on."
