Chapter 8 I'm Stronger
Soon Uchida Yuma changed his clothes and protective gear and came out, waved the bamboo sword a few times, found his touch, and squatted in front of the starting line of the arena, while Fukuzawa Fuyumi had been sitting in front of the starting line on the other side for a long time.
Taisho Hori served as a referee, and usually three referees were needed for official matches, but this kind of practice match within the club is usually just a one.
Taishobori took his position and shouted, "Salute!"
The two sides saluted each other, and Taishobori shouted again: "Ready!"
With the password, Fukuzawa Fuyumi slowly got up with the sword in both hands, and put a mid-section frame upright, while Uchida Yuma raised the sword high above his head, looking mighty and extraordinary - the height difference between him and Fukuzawa Fukuzawa Fuyumi is nearly thirty centimeters, just like an adult facing a child, naturally it looks particularly domineering.
Shikishima Ritsu frowned and scolded in a low voice: "This guy!"
Kitahara Shuji tilted his head when he heard the sound and asked, "What's the matter, Shikijima-kun?"
Shikijima Ritsu seemed to be very dissatisfied, "He's too arrogant!" he said and glanced at Kitahara Shuji, seeing that there was a puzzled look on his face, and understood that he had not practiced kendo, so he explained in detail: "Generally, there are five types of starting hands in kendo, upper style, middle style, lower stage style, eight-phase style, rib waist style, ......"
Ritsu Shikijima said it very briefly, but Kitahara Shuji understood it well, and after listening to it for a while, he understood.
The upper style is conducive to attack, but the chest and abdomen are exposed, the door is wide open, and the defense is weak;
The mid-section offensive and defensive balance, attacking and retreating, is the most commonly used, and there is an advantage that the tip of the sword is against people, even if the opponent is extremely fast, at the beginning of the game, a sword slash is in the middle of the head, and it is easy to be poked by the tip of the sword. And kendo essentially pursues killing the enemy rather than dying with the enemy, so in this case, the opponent will be judged to be ineffective - killing the enemy and you yourself will die is meaningless, and it is not to train assassins to die.
The lower style is the tip of the sword pointing to the ground, defense first, and the shot can probably only take over the flirting and grid, mostly used for defensive counterattacks or attrition battles, but after years of development in the kendo sport, the winning rate is too low due to the subsequent changes that are too monotonous, and it is gradually eliminated.
The eight-phase style is suitable for group battles, emphasizing the six ways of seeing and listening to the eight directions, and it is not very useful in one-on-one sports such as modern kendo, and few people use it.
As for the rib waist pose, the blade is hidden behind the back, making it difficult for the enemy to judge the direction of the attack and the length of the sword, which can have a surprise effect, but the bamboo sword in modern kendo competitions is a prescribed length, so it ......
Basically, there are only five kinds of starting hands, such as the one-handed upper right starting hand, and other alternatives, which are also born from these five basic structures, and are not too far away.
In front of me, I only looked at the hand style, Uchida Oma obviously didn't put Fukuzawa Fuyumi in his eyes, and felt that even if the other party practiced for a long time, he had an advantage in height and arm length and strength, and the other party couldn't go against the sky, and Bacheng thought about it and knocked Fukuzawa Fukuzawa Fukuzawa to his knees with one blow - there was a senior sister next to him who looked good, and she could barely enter the ranks of kendo beautiful girls, and she was watching the game!
This should be regarded as Uchida Yuma's lack of calmness, and Kitahara Shuji didn't have a good way, so he asked softly: "How do you determine the winner of this kind of game?
"No, Kitahara-kun!" Shikishima Ritsu observed the arena and found that the waist on Uchida's body was not tied loosely, and Taisho Hori asked him to re-tie it with an angry face, so he explained roughly.
Although kendo is developed from swordsmanship and inherits many traditions of swordsmanship, unlike swordsmanship, which aims to cut down enemies, kendo is a sport with strict rules and requirements for equipment, scoring, and timing.
For example, wooden knives are generally used to practice swordsmanship, or even open-edged wooden knives - don't think that wooden knives can't cut people, and good wood is no lighter than real knives - and hollow bamboo swords used in kendo competitions, even if you miss a place without armor protection, it will not cause much damage.
Another example is the need to strike effectively, that is, to keep the "gas sword consistent":
Qi refers to "gas sealing" The body refers to the effective part of the blow with a correct posture, that is, the face, throat, carcass, hands and other places protected by protective gear, if the attack is not protected by protective equipment, such as maliciously slashing the opponent's legs, feet, arms, etc., resulting in the opponent's injury will be directly punished; the sword refers to the use of bamboo sword tendons and the front end of the total length of about a quarter of the length of the part to strike, if replaced by a real knife, it is the most lethal part.
After doing all three of the above, it is necessary to maintain the "residual heart", that is, to maintain enough vigilance and momentum after the attack to prevent the opponent from dying and counterattacking, such as quickly getting out of the opponent's counterattack range, or directly making a posture of mending the knife.
Only in this way can the attack be counted, and when it is put into the game, it depends on the rules of the game system to determine the winner or the best of three games.
As for the other rules, there are many other rules, such as using language to confuse or even insult the opponent during the game will be directly punished, such as deliberately stretching out your foot to trip the opponent, grabbing the opponent's bamboo sword with your hand, hitting someone with your fist, not to mention the like, all of them are considered fouls, points are deducted or directly awarded, and even cheering loudly after winning is considered disrespectful to the opponent, and the opponent is also judged to lose.
After Ritsu Shikishima finished explaining, he looked intently at the field, where Taisho Hori had already checked Uchida's protective gear to ensure that the chance of injury was minimized, and then left the white cross point in the middle, waved his hand down vigorously, and shouted, "Go!"
"Ahhhh————!h
Uchida Oma was stunned for a moment, and even the foot that was about to step forward hesitated, and Fukuzawa Fuyumi's eyes shrank, and when Uchida Oma's steps were about to fall, his body suddenly bounced up like a spring that was tense to the extreme, and he stepped heavily, stabbed straight with his sword, and roared again: "Sudden ——!"
With a loud "bang", Uchida Oma flew in response and rolled out of the field directly - he wanted to play handsome and put on an upper stage, and he was distracted by the roar of Fukuzawa Fukuzawa, but he couldn't react, and he lost without the ability to fight back.
Kitahara Shuji and Shikijima Ritsu got up, but the moment they won or lost, they didn't even have time to scream, and hurriedly ran towards Uchida's horse.
There was silence in the arena for a while, and even Taisho Hori, who was the referee, lost his mind. Thrusts require a lot of strength, speed, eyesight, and the ability to grasp opportunities, and adult female swordsmen rarely use them, let alone improve middle school girls, and they can only be seen once in a while in national competitions, and it's a bit too much to use this trick in practice matches, right?
A thrust is different from a slash, and the stab is not in the right place, such as stabbing to an unarmored place, which can easily lead to injury.
Fortunately, Fukuzawa Fuyumi stabbed accurately, the armor guard had a drooping extension, and a thick resin plate protected the throat position, but even so, Uchida Oma still held his breath, although most of them fell, but a sword can stab a boy of more than fifty kilograms away, which is already very staggering.
Fukuzawa Fuyumi shook the bamboo sword with satisfaction, feeling that although she had studied hard for a year and had not practiced much, the swordsmanship she had practiced since childhood had not regressed much. She walked in front of Uchida Yuma with small steps, glanced at Uchida Yuma, who was still confused, and didn't care whether he could hear it or not, she opened her mouth and sneered triumphantly: "Oh, does it hurt? Don't blame me, if you want to blame, you will be blamed for mixing with Kitahara-san! This is a lesson for you, take care of your mouth in the future! Otherwise, I will beat you once when I see you in the future!"
Kitahara Shuji couldn't help but look at Fukuzawa Fuyumi and raised an eyebrow. If you win, you win, there's nothing to say, blame Uchida for his inferior skills, but it's a bit too much for you to chase after and ridicule, right?
And what's the matter with you? Because if you mix with yourself, you have to be beaten?
He stood in front of Uchida and asked in a deep voice, "Fukuzawa-san, what do you mean by this?"
Fukuzawa Fuyumi's gaze immediately shifted to him, looked up and down, and smiled without smiling: "Kitahara-san, are you angry? Haha, don't worry, it's your turn!Ah, you shouldn't dare, it's a pity...... Your follower blocked the knife for you!" Her voice was full of contempt and joy, which seemed to make Kitahara Shuji deflated, even if it was just disgusting and disgusting, he could make her feel very comfortable, as if she had a great resentment, "I can understand if I don't dare...... Hey, even if you win the exam once, what if you win the exam once, all in all, I'm still stronger!"
