"What kendo style did you learn before?"
Mucunheshu didn't talk nonsense and asked directly. He had to first find out which school of swordsmanship Chunyang studied.
He didn't think about teaching Chunyang Yagyu the core swordsmanship of flying sword style, because that would be too shocking to the world. And if you want to learn some core swordsmanship of Yagyu Feijian style, you must understand the sword's intention. But Chunyang is just an ordinary person. Even if his family conditions are good, he has never been exposed to mystery.
However...it is still possible to teach the opponent some basics of Yagyu Feijian style.
As a result, when he asked a question, he saw Chunyang lowering her head, wondering what she was thinking. He frowned, "Classmate Chunyang?"
"Ah?" Hearing the voice, Chunyang raised her head blankly and saw her senior staring at her. She was flustered for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and said apologetically, "Sorry, senior, I was distracted just now."
Mucunheshu nodded and asked the question again without asking what was going on.
"I studied Beichen Itto-ryu." Hearing this, Chunyang explained, "I mainly studied Kiraku, which was taught to me by Mr. Shintani."
Mr. Shintani... Risa Shintani? Mucunheshu was startled.
Furukashi Yingjiu had told him before that he had found a kendo teacher for Haruyang, named Risa Shintani.
"Did this teacher only teach you Qieluo? Isn't this too derelict of duty?"
Chunyang said with dark eyes, "Teacher Shintani was a policeman from the Metropolitan Police Department. He died in the line of duty while fighting criminals five years ago."
Mucunheshu was silent for a while.
Most of the people in Japan who have kendo 6th degree or above are police officers.
Of course, not all police officers must practice kendo, but many people who practice kendo will eventually choose to become police officers. In Japan, many children will choose to practice kendo from an early age, just like domestic sports students, children are trained as a kind of orientation.
The practice of Japanese Kendo is often lifelong.
Because the levels of Kendo are limited by age and training time, you can only take the next level if you meet the upgrade conditions, and then move up one level at a time. Many people who practice swordsmanship will eventually choose to become police officers. This is also a professional requirement for police officers, because police officers are always fighting death and can easily die in the line of duty without skills.
For example, in the All Japan Kendo Championship, police officers have won the most championships, followed by teachers. There was even a phenomenon where the champions from 1989 to 2013 were all police officers.
Kimura Kazuki did not linger on this heavy topic. He asked directly, "So that means you can only cut off?"
"No, I later learned the basic tachi and lattachi skills of Beichen Itto-ryu by myself."
Mucunheshu nodded, that's right.
Cutting is an action feature of the Itto-ryu genre, and its status is very high in the Itto-ryu genre. It is a self-sacrifice skill in frontal confrontation. It is generally used at a distance of one foot and one knife.
The so-called distance between one foot and one sword is the basic distance in kendo competitions. One step can pierce the opponent directly. Taking a step back can dodge the opponent's attack.
When it comes to cutting and falling, Beichen Yi Dao Ryu pays great attention to it.
Cut off is to hold the bamboo knife high and chop forward and downward with a big movement.
Utilize the basic strength of the movement of both arms and the fine operation of the hands to allow the knife to reach the highest speed before it passes over the head. At this time, when the elbows are fully extended, the sword is pointed directly upward, and then the hands are only holding the handle of the knife. Just relax your wrist and let the knife continue to fall naturally.
Of course, there are also techniques for exerting force on the arms. However, for Kimura Kazuki, this so-called cut off is actually about speed. It is basically a technique of either you die or I die.
And Kimura Kazuki thought of Haruo's previous aerial swing practice at home, which was obviously practicing cutting. Of course, the empty swing practice here can also be called Su Zhen.
Su Zhen is the foundation of kendo practice, but it is not that simple.
The process of Su Zhen is also a process of constantly revising one's own cognition, and also a process of slowly understanding how to raise and draw the sword. Some people understand that they use their arms to draw the sword, some use their wrists to draw the sword, and some people use their shoulders to draw the sword... and when drawing the sword, they must also coordinate with their footwork.
Therefore, even if many people practice the same style of kendo, their fighting skills will be different.
"Let's compete first. I'll see how strong you are first."
"good!"
When others saw the two of them going to the locker room to change clothes, they couldn't help but look forward to it.
They have all seen Furukashi Chunyang's strength, but they don't know how strong he is. Anyway, even the head of the Kendo Club can't beat the opponent. So everyone thinks that after Minister Kitajima graduates this year, Haruo Furuhashi will probably take over as minister.
What they were looking forward to was Minister Kimura's strength. Although they watched the video, it was a video after all, and it was definitely not as good as watching it in real life.
When Kimura Kazuki came out, he was already wearing the competition kendo uniform, wearing protective gear, and holding a bamboo sword. To be honest, he was not used to this kind of attire, it felt like it was restricting his body. But there is no choice...competitive kendo must dress like this to protect one's own safety. And there are many rules in competitive kendo.
He had also checked a lot of information on the Internet before and remembered some basic rules in his mind.
"The three of us will be the referees." Kitajima pulled the two deputy ministers and said with a smile, "Minister Kimura will be the red flag, and Furuhashi Haruo will be the white flag."
Naturally, Kimura Kazuki and Chunyang had no objection.
The two stood in the center of the dojo. After Beijima shouted, they began to perform the squatting ceremony.
After the salute, Mucun Kazuki held swords in both hands. He can also hold the sword with one hand, but in that case he must hold the sword from above.
The so-called upper-level sword-holding does not refer to the kendo level, but the posture of holding the sword with one hand and raising the head high. However, this defense is not good, and the strikes are not as fast as with both hands, so unless you are a person with a high level of swordsmanship or a two-sword style person, you will hold the sword with one hand.
Kimura Kazuki also knows that all the rules of competitive kendo have their own reasons, but for him, these rules have framed him.
He didn't bother to hold the sword with one hand. Yagyu Feiken style itself also held the sword with both hands. It's just that he changed it to one hand.
Kimura Kazuki did not make any move at the beginning of the game. He listened to the crisp shout coming from Chunyang's mouth. I know this is the kiai of competitive kendo.
There are two types of kiai in Japanese competitive kendo. The first one is the cry when not striking. Its function is to intimidate and shock the opponent, telling the opponent that he is ready to fight and can attack at any time. This call is not required, but it is very useful for beginners and can relieve nervousness during competition.
The second type is the cry when hit. In the strictest sense, the hit cry must be the name of the part struck. For example, when you chop the head, you have to shout "face", and when you chop the hand, you shout "little hands" in Japanese.
If the hit part is different from the part called out, the referee will consider it an accidental hit and no points will be scored, so this call is necessary.
Of course, in actual competitions, the requirements are often not so strict. Some attackers make meaningless cries when they hit... or other strange cries, and the referee will often award points.
Anyway, just call.
Chunyang's feet jump slightly at the beginning, which allows her to react at any time to the enemy's attacks. But when she saw that Senior Kimura had been maintaining the same movement without even the intention of attacking, she knew that Senior Kimura probably wanted to see her strength.
Thinking about it, she looked slightly condensed and took the lead in launching the attack.
I originally wanted to make up for the extra update from the leader of the league [So Close to the End of the World, I Don’t Want to Forget] today, but something delayed me and I got home late. So I’ll make up for the monthly pass first. I’ll make up for the alliance leader tomorrow~
