懸待一致と捨て身 (kentai icchi and sutemi)

Lately I've received similar advice from different senseis. I am too aggressive. Rather than seme 100% offense all of the time, I need to have some give and take. I need to lessen my seme from time to time to invite my opponent to attack so I can utilize ouji waza. I think this falls under the concept of kentai icchi.

I've been experimenting with this and I think I have been able to do this a bit better. However I got another piece of advice at practice on Tuesday. Tanaka sensei said I am not committing 100% to my attacks. I think I am lacking sutemi. In an attempt to have a more balanced kendo my commitment to my attacks have deteriorated. :-p

Ahhh... hurray for trying to simultaneously fulfill conflicting desires and requirements... ^_^;;

私が最近先生達から同じようなアドバイスを聞きました。いつも100%前に攻めては駄目。時々攻めをちょっとリラクスして、相手が攻撃できると思います。その時応じ技を応用します。私がこれは懸待一致とおもいます。

稽古の時この概念を練習しました、ちょっとできるかなと思いました。だが、この火曜日の稽古で、田中先生からほかのアドバイスを聞きました。私が打てるの時に、全部を出してませんでした。私が捨て身が足りませんと思います。もっとバランスいい剣道を欲しくでも、打てるの時は100%しなければなりません。

難しいな。。。 ^_^;;

Muzukashii yo ne! Demo, urayamashi, takusan sensei ga iru to ii yo ne!

Just finished our first practice, and it went pretty well. We had 8 people in bogu, including 2 new people who are shodan, but man I'm just not as good of an instructor as you.
