Re: Kendo match
Re: Kendo match Good news. I think someone got a recording. I will see about getting it. There are two videos, one of the test and one of the fight.

Re: Kendo match
Re: Kendo match very interesting! I would say that any sport or martial art or whatever physical activity you can perform, even if not perfectly or at a loss is nevertheless a big win. You are trying and .. that is something you don't see many people doing nowadays.

Re: Kendo match
Re: Kendo match Doesn't have to change your keiko. Just record the practice as it happens... lol. Very interesting about exams... wonder if they do it the same way in Japan.

Re: Kendo match
Re: Kendo match Yeah, we do what's called an open exam. We are called to do our exercises before a panel of judges, and the judges are free to determine how many ranks they think our performance is worth. Something like that anyways. We can only do this up to 1-kyu, I think as the dan ranks have to be earned more formally. Either way, due to new ranking requirements, I am now kata bound, so hopefully that goes well. I do not have a recording of that match unfortunately. I could try to hunt one down, but I don't think anyone got one. Sorry about that. That being said, I should probably put up a recording of training. Perhaps a nice demo. I will have to ask my senpai or one of my sensei if they would be interested in making such a thing.

Re: Kendo match
Re: Kendo match You skipped 2 ranks with one exam? That's impressive... didn't know certain dojo do that. But maybe cause my dojo does things very traditionally Japanese style where one exame will only advance one rank at a time. Tell us more the more you learn and I'd still love a recording!

Re: Kendo match
Re: Kendo match I am happy that everything turned out well for you, as for the loss, I like the way you're handling it, learning from the experience and moving on, rather than quitting.as for the ranks, I think you meant to say Kyu, not Kiyu.

Re: Kendo match
Re: Kendo match Right. I am back from the tournament and after party and all that. The results of the match was a resounding loss. 2-0 with me getting one penalty due to out-of-bounds. Unfortunate, but other than perfecting where the bounds of the court are and making sure I'm centered on my opponent, it was pretty fun. As for how I deal with the whole blind thing, really learning by the sound of your opponent, and the feel of the shinai. Your shinai is a bit like a cane in that you can use it to feel out where the opponent is by feeling about for the shinai. There are still challenges, though. That being said, this was a great learning experience, and I hope to have more figured out by the time of the next tournament. Oh, we do have some good news, though. This was my second exam, and I went up another two ranks. I am now 3-kiyu up from 5-kiyu. (kiyu ranks count backwards with dan ranks counting forwards.)

Re: Kendo match
Re: Kendo match Hi there,hmm, this may be a stupid question, but... how do you perform kendo as a blind?I have always dreamed about martial arts as well, but my parents never let me do it, to protect my vision. Well, as of today, I have no vision and no martial art skills, so I can enjoy just my memories of watching it.Fencing is also among the fascinating things, but I can't really imagine it as a blind.I mean... yeah, I wouldn't have a problem to fight in Slovak style - to grab the bamboo thing and smash my opponent's head with it, but I guess this isn't how it was meaned, is it?

Re: Kendo match
Re: Kendo match You know, you seem to be living a dream of mine, mainly learning a martial arts.As a kid, and indeed even now, I like to learn a martial arts. but my mother and father never took it seriously, most likely thinking that I won't be able to perform, that, and India doesn't have much of a martial arts presence.Which, is very strange given our history filled with warlords and invaders. but of course who am I to question that?In any case, I do look forward to reading about how your match went.

Re: Kendo match
Re: Kendo match Kendo has always been one of my favourite martial arts, and I've always wanted to do it. Very glad to hear that there is someone else who is blind and doing kendo... I've had no luck getting dojo in Vancouver to accept a blind student as of yet, even one of my closest friends who is currently a godan rankwise. Keep us posted on the match, and if you can, would love a recording of the match and or your test! Going for 4th kyu is still a big accomplishment, especially as there isn't exactly an abundance of blind kendoka around!

Kendo match
Kendo match Hello. I thought I should at least say something about it here, as some people might be interested in the outcome. This Saturday I will be taking part in my first kendo match. I don't expect it to be anything amazing or ground breaking. I'll be glad not to eat bamboo for the entire thing. LOL!!! That being said, I will announce the results here once it ends and I can. I haven't heard much of blind kendoka, so hopefully I can be a decent example. Also, I have my testing for kendo rank that day. I expect that should go okay. Hoping to go up a little, but we'll see. Right now, I am fifth rank, which is not too bad. We're working with ranks counting backwards here, so hopefully I can make fourth, but we'll see.
