"What kendo school did you study before?"

Kazuki Kimura didn't talk nonsense and asked directly. He had to clear which school of kendo Haruo was learning first.

He didn't think about teaching the core swordsmanship of Chunyang Yanagi Flying Sword Flow, because that would be too terrifying to the world. And if you want to learn some of the core swordsmanship of Yanagi Flying Sword Flow, you must comprehend the sword intent. But Chunyang is just an ordinary person, even if the family conditions are good, he has never been exposed to mystery.

But... It's still okay to teach the other party Yanagi Flying Sword Flow some basics.

As a result, he asked a question, but saw Chunyang with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, he frowned, "Chunyang-sang? ”

"Huh?" Hearing the voice, Chunyang raised her head blankly, and saw the senior staring at her, she was flustered for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and said apologetically, "I'm sorry senior, I just got distracted." ”

Kazuki Kimura nodded, not asking what was going on, he asked the question again.

"I learned Beichen Yidaoliu." Hearing this, Haruka explained, "The main thing to learn is to cut it, which was taught to me by Mr. Shinya. ”

Mr. Shintani... Risa Shintani? Kazuki Kimura was stunned.

Before, Furuhashi Sakura Ku told him that he had found a kendo teacher for Haruo, and his name was Risa Shintani.

"Did this teacher only teach you to cut off? Isn't that a remiss of duty? ”

Haruo's eyes were gloomy and he said, "Mr. Shinya is a police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, and he died in the line of duty when he was fighting criminals five years ago. ”

Kazuki Kimura was silent for a while.

Most of the people in Japan who are 6 dan or above in kendo are police officers.

Of course, not all police officers have to practice kendo, but many people who practice kendo will eventually choose to become police officers, and many children in Japan will choose to practice kendo from an early age, just like domestic sports students, and children are used as an orientation training.

And the practice of Japanese kendo is often a lifetime.

Because the level of kendo has an age and cultivation time limit, only those who meet the promotion conditions can take the next level, and then go up one level at a time. And many people who practice kendo will eventually choose to become police officers, and this is also a professional demand for police officers, because police officers are always fighting to death, and it is easy to die without some skills.

Like the All Japan Kendo Championships, police officers have won the most championships, followed by teachers. There was even a phenomenon in which the champions from 1989 to 2013 were all police officers.

Kazuki Kimura didn't linger on this heavy topic, and he asked directly, "So that means you're just going to cut off?" ”

"No, I also learned the basic Taidao and Li Taidao of Beichen Yidaoliu by myself later."

Kazuki Kimura nodded, that's right.

Cutting down is an action characteristic in the one-knife genre, and it has a very high status in the one-knife genre. It is a self-sacrificing technique for head-on confrontation. It is generally used at a distance of one foot and one knife.

The so-called distance of one foot and one sword is the basic distance of kendo competition, and you can stab your opponent directly if you step forward. Take a step back to dodge your opponent's attacks.

For the cut, Beichen pays great attention to it.

Cutting down is to hold the bamboo knife high and chop forward and downward, and the action is very large.

Using the basic strength of the arms and the delicate operation in the hands, the knife reaches its maximum speed before it passes over the top of the head, when the elbows are fully extended, the sword is pointed straight up, and then the wrist is relaxed with both hands only holding the hilt, so that the knife can continue to fall naturally.

Of course, there are also power skills in the arms. However, for Kimura and Shu, this so-called cutting down is actually a speed, which is basically a technique that either you die or I die.

And Kazuki Kimura thought of Haruo's previous air swing practice at home, obviously practicing chopping. Of course, the air swing exercise here can also be called Su Zhen.

Su Zhen is the foundation of kendo practice, but it is not as simple as the basics.

The process of Su Zhen is also a process of constantly revising one's cognition, and it is also a process of slowly understanding how to raise a knife and how to make a knife. Some people realize that the knife is made with the arm, some people use the wrist, and some people use the shoulder... And at the same time as the knife is released, it must also cooperate with the footwork.

Therefore, even if many people practice the same school of kendo, their fighting skills will be different.

"Let's try it first, and I'll see how strong you are first."

"Good!"

The others saw that the two of them went to the locker room to change clothes, and they couldn't help but look forward to it.

They have all seen the strength of Furuhashi Haruo, and they don't know how strong it is. Anyway, even the head of the kendo club can't beat each other. Therefore, everyone thinks that after the graduation of Minister Kitajima this year, it is estimated that Haruo Furuhashi will take over the position of minister.

What they are looking forward to is the strength of Minister Kimura, although the video has been watched, but after all, it is a video, and it is definitely not as good as watching it in reality.

When Kazuki Kimura came out, he was already wearing the kendo uniform of the competition, wearing protective gear, and holding a bamboo sword. To be honest, he wasn't used to this kind of outfit, and it felt like he was restraining his body. But helpless... Competitive kendo must be dressed like this, it is to protect oneself. And there are many rules for competitive kendo.

He also looked up a lot of information on the Internet before he memorized some basic rules.

"The three of us will be the referees." Kitajima Kazuki pulled the two deputy ministers and said with a smile, "Minister Kimura is a red flag, and Furuhashi Haruo is a white flag." ”

Kimura Kazuki and Haruka naturally have no opinion.

The two stood in the center of the dojo, and only after Kitajima He shouted did the two begin to squat.

After the salute, Kimura and Aki held their swords in both hands. He can also hold a sword in one hand, but then he must hold the sword in the upper section.

The so-called upper sword holding is not a kendo rank, but a one-handed sword held high above the head. But this defense is not good, and the blow is not as fast as the two hands, so unless it is a person with a high level of kendo strength, or a person with a second sword flow, he will hold the sword alone.

Kazuki Kimura also knows that the rules of competitive kendo have their own reasons, but for him, these rules have framed him.

He was also too lazy to hold a sword in one hand, and Yanagi Fei Sword Flow himself was also holding a sword in both hands. It's just that he changed it to one hand.

Kazuki Kimura didn't make any moves at the start of the game. He listened to the crisp shouts coming out of Chunyang's mouth. I know that this is the qi of competitive kendo.

There are two types of qi in Japanese competitive kendo, the first is the cry when the blow is not struck, and the effect is to intimidate, deter the opponent, and tell the opponent that he is ready to fight and can attack at any time. This scream is not necessary, but it is very useful for beginners and can also relieve tension during competitions.

The second is the cry when it hits. As a matter of the strictest requirements, the call for a hit must be the name of the part of the attack. For example, when you cut off your head, you have to shout "noodles", and when you cut off your hands, you have to shout "little hands" in Japanese.

If the part that was hit is different from the part that was shouted, the referee considered it to be an accidental hit and no points were awarded, so this kind of call is necessary.

Of course, in actual competitions, the requirements are often not so strict. Some of the attackers hit with meaningless screams... Or other strange calls, the referee will often give points as well.

Anyway, just call it.

Haruo's feet jump slightly at the beginning, allowing her to react to enemy attacks at any time. But when she saw that Senior Kimura had been maintaining a single movement, and she didn't even have the intention of attacking, she knew that Senior should want to see her strength.

Thinking about it, her expression was slightly condensed, and she took the lead in attacking.
