9.2 Kendo Trainees: Xiangcha Anai

Although Du Ping didn't have the idea of getting acquainted with a new beauty, a few days later, when he met this fragrant tea Anai again in the hall of the Yagyu Dokan, he couldn't help but sigh at the magic and wonder of life.

Xiangcha Anai appeared in the team of new students, and Du Pingping appeared in their team as a group of coaches who came to lead people. This is a class of 35 students. Most of them are young men and women, such as college students and recent high school graduates. Due to the traditional perception of Toryuqiu, it is believed that young people who have studied traditional martial arts such as kendo and karate will be more disciplined, more persevering, and stronger than those who have not. Therefore, there are many practice venues for kendo and martial arts in the society, and there will also be many special and intimate courses such as temporary classes, short-term classes, and holiday classes.

According to the rules of the Yagyu Dokan, one instructor only needs to take 5-6 students, and then spread out to various small venues for training. This meeting is not only the coach choosing the students, but also the students choosing the coach. In the modern kendo martial arts hall, everyone's relationship is more like a service and consumption, rather than the master-apprentice and father-son of the past.

As soon as he saw Du Ping, Xiangcha Anai ran over excitedly.

Xiangcha Anai, "I see you again!

Du Pingping reluctantly expressed his understanding, "Xiangcha Anai, I remember you." ”

Yesterday, Du Ping left the library after changing books inauthentically. One is that he no longer entangles too much with the people here, and the other is that it is almost time for him to leave. Since he had no idea of getting to know this beautiful woman, he certainly didn't have any idea of releasing other pigeons. Du Ping didn't care, but people still remembered.

"Why didn't I see you back that day?" and I didn't see you in the library at night!"

The university library is open until the evening, and because of the quiet conditions, many people like to use it as a place for self-study in the evening.

"I'm home!"

"Are you home?

Xiangcha Anai looks like a curious baby, always with constant questions. Du Pingping decided to release a ruthless move to solve this trouble once and for all.

"Yes, I don't live on campus. Because I'm not actually a student at Zangma University. I have just graduated from high school, and I will go to Jingluo Imperial University in the second half of the year, so I will go to the library of Zangma University to borrow books and read in order to prepare for my studies in advance. ”

Xiangcha Anai was very surprised, "You are not a student of Zangma University! No wonder, everyone doesn't know who you are." You have just graduated from high school, how can you have already been admitted to Jingluo Imperial University? ”

Du Pingping, "I'm a special recruit. ”

Du Ping used simple words to explain the problem of Xiangcha Anai.

Xiangcha Anai exclaimed, "It's really good! No wonder it was specially recruited by Jingluo Imperial University, it was really a monster!"

Xiangcha Anai suddenly made up her mind, "Then I will choose you! I will choose you as my coach! Mr. coach, please advise!"

Xiangcha Anai bowed down and gave a salute, just like a primary school student treated his teacher.

Du Ping was surprised, "You choose me?"

Xiangcha Anai, "Yes." ”

"Why?"

Xiangcha Anai, "It's rare to meet a legendary monster-level existence like you, and if you don't try to get close, it will be a big regret in your life!"

Since this is a two-way teacher-student choice, Xiangcha Anai's choice was passed without any difficulty. Moreover, Xiangcha Anai also brought two close girlfriends and a male student who obviously wanted to pursue Xiangcha Anai. As a result, Du Ping had 4 students at once, and he had basically reached his mission goal. He found a thin boy at random, and completed the formation of his fair group.

The business philosophy of the Yagyu Gym is still somewhat interesting, and the director of the Shiraishi Gym, who is drunk all day long, finally completed his change to the business philosophy of the gym at the end of last year. With Du Pingping's understanding, it is the traditional teaching method of a coach with dozens of students, and the traditional teaching method of high and low is a more intimate and smaller training structure of five or six people. And the group between the group also joined the competition mechanism of modern management development training, it can be said that it is also teaching and playing, each new student who comes here, not only can get more attention, more intimate coach services, and whether it is to learn the sword, or to exercise, to play, you can get their own very satisfying experience. For example, in the first lesson, the etiquette teaching method was mostly achieved by sticks and carrots in the past. Now with the addition of group confrontation, competition, and competition, not only the students' initiative and initiative in learning are higher, but also the effect and results are much stronger than in the past. Therefore, only half a year has passed, and there is a unique reason why Yagyu Dokan has ushered in its own stage of rapid development.

Kendo originated from swordsmanship, which is the product of the combination of samurai spirit and swordsmanship, and can even be said to be a cultural tradition and symbol in Dongliuqiu. Therefore, no matter which dojo, the etiquette requirements for this traditional culture are the same, and the emphasis on this aspect is also very strict. It can be said that if you can't respect the etiquette required by this culture, then it will be impossible to learn swordsmanship later.

There are several main types of etiquette in kendo: the highest type of etiquette

(1) Sitting posture: natural posture, kneeling posture, sitting posture, salute, kneeling posture, natural posture, is the most important etiquette in kendo etiquette. In traditional kendo, the teacher begins and ends a lecture in the dojo, and the practitioner performs a sitting. The details are as follows:

Starting with the natural body, the left foot is slightly back and the knee is bent on the ground. Then step back with your right foot and sit with your knee bent and about 25 cm between your knees. Keep your back up naturally, your hands easily on the base of your thighs, your abdomen full of breath, and your eyes on your opponent. This position is also called the "upright sitting" pose, in which the knife is placed on the ground next to the left leg. Start in a sitting position, press your hands on the ground in front of your knees, form a figure-eight shape with your hands, and slowly kowtow forward. When giving the salute, bring your face to the center of your hands and stop about 20-30 cm from the ground. After about one breath break, lift your upper body and return to a sitting position." Etiquette requirements: When kowtowing, the hands can not move casually, the elbow joints should not be too open outward, and the abdomen can not be floated, otherwise the salute action is frivolous, which is a faux pastime. When standing up after the ceremony, the right foot rises first, and the left foot comes back. Remember, start with your left foot when you sit down and start with your right foot when you stand up, i.e. in the order of "sitting left and right".

(2) Standing salute: Standing as a natural body, the knife is held by the left hand. How to hold the knife: The tip of the knife is back and down, the left hand is gently held at the root of the knife body above the handguard, the thumb is buckled on the handguard of the knife, and the knife string (equivalent to the back side of the knife) is facing downward. When saluting, the left hand holding the knife is placed on the waist, the right hand is lowered, attached to the side of the right thigh, nodding slightly forward, leaning forward about 30 degrees, and the eyes are fixed on the opponent. After the salute is completed, it will be restored to a natural body and stand. The requirements are: the salute is only to nod forward, the movement should not be overdone, and the knees should not be bent.

(3) Squatting Ceremony: It is said to be a practical stance used by traditional samurai to deal with sudden attacks when kneeling. The method of squatting posture and the requirements for performing etiquette are as follows: knees are fully bent and separated, heels are raised, hips are seated on heels, and the upper body is kept upright. The etiquette when squatting, the upper part of the body is required to stand up, as long as the head is bowed forward 30 degrees. If you are holding a knife in a ready position, you can hold the knife body with your left hand, and hold the handle of the knife with your right hand close to the handguard, so as to prepare to draw the knife and attack, which is the squatting posture of holding the knife.

(4) Underbowing: It is used when standing, sitting upright, and sitting down on a chair. In the middle of the seat, the buttocks do not leave the back heel, just lean forward 15 degrees, and then return to the upright position. When sitting on the chair, you must leave your back from the backrest, press the upper thighs with both hands, adduct your elbows, straighten your upper body and lean forward 15 degrees, pause slightly, and then return to your original position. When holding a sword in the left hand, the right hand should be placed in front of the root of the right thigh, diagonally facing inward and downward, and the five fingers should be straight and together, and when holding the sword in the left hand, the right hand should be placed in front of the root of the right thigh, diagonally facing inward and downward, and after stopping, the upper body should be stood in parallel upright steps, slightly tilting forward in salute, and the eyes should be slightly lowered to the ground in front of them.

(5) Nodding: Nodding is used when the sword is traveling or standing. When giving the salute, there is no need to stop, just lean forward slightly with the upper body and hang the arms at your side at will. Note: The upper body does not lean forward, only nods with the head and neck bent, which is usually regarded as a symbol of nobility in kendo, and generally only the rank or position in the sword alliance is far higher than one's own older opponent, or teacher, or elder can use it. Practitioners should be careful in their use and must not use it indiscriminately, so as not to cause the adverse consequences of great disrespect, and be regarded as uneducated and ignorant of the rules, and be despised.

Bowing and nodding: The act of being friendly and polite as an informal salute is bowing and nodding. It can also be used as a type of body language to apply when greeting. However, it is also required that when giving gifts, they must be dignified and generous, not smiling, not humble, not arrogant, and appropriate, and must show respect and respect for the inner meaning. The etiquette of kendo is not the etiquette of serving the master, or providing some kind of business service, or the etiquette between superiors and subordinates in a certain organization and in business dealings. Therefore, it is not allowed to show any servile and flattering demeanor, especially sneering, low-mindedness, and gags.

Since kendo is a traditional culture, of course, even if you have never eaten rabbit meat, you have seen rabbit run, and after a few times, of course, it is also presentable. Of course, it takes a little time for short-term training to become long-term instinct. In this case, everyone also enters the practice of the basic skills of kendo. Kendo is a very strict culture, so his stillness and movement have their own strict requirements. Take the basic skills as an example, standing, walking, holding the knife, chopping and slashing...... All have their own strict requirements. Although as far as the students are concerned, most of the students can't wait to use their swords and slash as soon as they come up, but the average dojo student will not let you have this kind of opportunity to let yourself go in the first few days.

It's the same here in Du Ping, you have to learn kendo. Then learn to stand first!

What is there to learn from what station? Everyone will stand there. Yes, everyone can stand, but there is also a very tall name called "natural body" when standing in kendo. It is a mysterious state that can not only deal with the opponent's attack, but also put oneself in a relaxed and natural state, and it is a preparatory posture for many kendo techniques and techniques. So, don't stand well, you don't think about anything else. And not only to stand well, but also to stand out of the feeling and spirit of the natural body, so that it can be regarded as a teacher.

What does it take to learn to stand? haha...... The length of time varies depending on the individual's qualifications. Anyway, for the first 3 days, you don't have to think about anything else. When you stand in the right posture, breathe right, feel right, and have the right spirit, you'll be able to pass the test.

There is also a major role and idea, Du Ping did not say, then the general coach will go through this process, intentionally repair the wildness of the students, so that they can learn to abide by the rules and listen to the command. That is, the old saying of the killing stick. It's not okay to hit people now, and it's even more forbidden in the Yagyu Gym. But this kind of traditional thing, if the small tree is not cut and does not slip straight, what should we do? Therefore, with the acquiescence of both the gym and the coach, it becomes corporal punishment and becomes mental discrimination. It is like a modern child, and it is punished at a designated place.

On the first day, the students should be made aware of these rules. What should we do? We must establish a model and find a model. At this time, Xiangcha Anai, who had always been active, active, and happy, bumped headlong into the machete that Du Ping had been secretly holding high. After an exchange of words, Du Pingping immediately exercised his legal authority as a coach.

Du Pingping pointed to Xiangcha Anai and pointed to the small circle of the exclusive penalty station next to him, "Go!

Beautiful women are all good-looking jobs, and in the face of Xiangcha, who may be a year younger than herself, she immediately exerts her natural skill of being a cultural person - persuasion.

Xiangcha Anai, "Why am I going?"

Du fair, "Don't talk to each other." ”

Xiangcha Anai's eyes flashed, and he immediately begged for mercy, "Don't you dare next time, okay?" Coach ......"

But Du Pingping was basically unmoved by the special attack of Xiangcha Anai's last coquettishness, and it could even be said that he resisted naturally.

Du fair, "I don't say it a second time!"

The coach still has a lot of power in the kendo gym. Although there is already a lot of commercial component, the coach can still eliminate the students under his own who do not obey the discipline. This kind of student who is purged by the kendo hall will definitely have a bad reputation, and other kendo halls will not accept it anymore. Therefore, after Xiangcha Anai's persuasion skills, begging for mercy skills, and coquettish skills failed one by one, he could only pout and obediently stand in that circle of shame. Then the attitude of the Du Ping group to the school was very good.

It's that the boy who seems to have come to chase the girl is a little indignant, and his eyes are hostile, as if he is very dissatisfied with the story of Du Pingping's killing of a cute girl like Xiangcha Anai. But Du Pingping immediately gave him a punishment technique adapted to boys: penalty running laps. Du Pingping not only punished him for running laps, but also sternly warned him that this is a place to learn kendo, not a place for boys to chase girls. If he does not correct his very impure thoughts, he has the right to expel him.

After giving the two sticks, Du Pingping also understood that he needed to give his students a little bit of Xiao Tiantian's basic management skills. Therefore, using one's tongue and practicing the basic skills of kendo is a very good way to gather spirit and attention, and if you practice well here, then it is also very useful in daily learning.

At this time, Xiangcha Anai, who had been punished to the side of the punishment station, spoke undisciplined again.

Xiangcha Anai, "Coach, you study so well, does your memory have such a good effect here?"

It seems that in private just now, Xiangcha Anai still promoted some of the aura that made their coach unique: the ability to remember and the fact that he had just graduated and was specially recruited by Jingluo Imperial University. As a result, the eyes of all the students in Du Ping's group lit up. Although Du Pingping was very satisfied with Xiangcha Anai's cooperation at the right time and at the right opportunity, he still mercilessly gave her a special reward for extending the punishment time.

After Du Pingping's group, the training attitude and initiative were very good, and everyone seemed to be trying to seize the precious opportunity to learn a special magic skill in their lives, and worked hard to train Du Pingping, who claimed to have the basic skills of cohesion and attention, even the Xiangcha Anai who came back from the punishment station and the male students who ran back from the punishment were the same.

So after the first day of training for this special purpose, Du Ping won the first little red flower in the group. This is not a simple reward, compared to Du Pingping, a group with more than half of the girls, many other groups not only have more boys, but also some have learned kendo before. So when everyone defeated all the groups and got this little red flower, even the boys in the group who had previously disdained it showed great joy and encouragement.

This is the traditional management method, even if you feel that it is very old, very old, very out of line with this era, but when it is working, it can still play an ancient and eternal role.

It's just that when Du Ping finished his day's teaching and training plan, he finished eating the working meal prepared for them by the gym. When he changed his clothes, put on his school bag, and walked out of the gym to study at Zangma University, a pink car pulled up to his side. The window of the pink car opened, and a pretty face belonging to Xiangcha Anai emerged from it, showing endless smiles and cuteness.

Xiangcha Anai, "Fair classmate, are you going to read a book in the library of Zangma University? I can give you a ride." ”

Looking at this obviously ill-intentioned smile, and listening to the title that had been changed from "coach" to "classmate", Du Pingping suddenly found that his trouble was coming.
