鼠の屋 09 kendo camp~!

Last week was the first kendo camp since i start doing kendo~(haha~
plez forgive my bad english ~hopfully its not too bad to understand....)
that was really lots fun, i met and train with lots of kendo people around
the whole New Zealand, and of course there were really some cool people inside.

well...actually that was my third times to join the kendo events, but
the first time i havent even wore hakama yet, and the second time is the
National Champ in AKL last year, due to it was a comptition, so i didnt
train and play with people much. But this time i really learn lots of things
and realise more about kendo. we r very lucky to invite a 7th dan Sensai,
Morioka Sensai, to flight from janpan to teach us this time. Although he cant speak
english to us, but i can still feel the enthusiasm that he has to kendo is really higher
than any of us in the dojo.

For me, before the camp, kendo is kind of exercise for me, maybe because i
still have a little bit tranditional thinking about "girly kendo", althought
i try to attend the training every section but honestly...i didnt "think"
about it too much and thats probably why my kendo cant improve...
i m 2kyu after the camp, as Sam Sensai said, i m still a kiddy garden
kid for kendo (perhaps lower~) indeed! i can walk, i can run, but i cant
walk and run properly...
there is really LOTS of things i have to know in kendo.
I do learn lots of things in this camp but most of the things we've already
heard it from Sam and Marleen sensai. During the camp, i fought with all the girl
senpais and Morioka Sensai and Allen Sensai,
i try to ask them the same Q which confused me all the time
when i m doing shiai, which is "what is oppotunity?"
"how can we create oppotunity?" and "how can we feel the oppotunity?"
Most of them tell me "experience~" more experience i have, then i can feel more
about opportunity~ i know its probably too early for me to think about
this in my stage...but i just cant stop thinking about it~ some Senpai
told me something and Morioka Sensai told me through the shinai while we r
doing gikeiko. After the training, i wrote the notes down after, due to my small
brain cant load too much things as time goes by...> < i dnt know my note is right or
wrong....but i will be very appreciate if sensai/senpai come and told me i m wrong~ ^_^
( i will try my best to trainslate my note...but some of them i dnt know how
to express in english, sorry...

1.opportunity不是用眼"看",而是用心"觀"

2.we cant "wait" for the oppotunity, instead, we need to create it, and the best
way to create opportunity is not use the shinai to knock other people's shinai away,
but use the spirit to open the opportunity, and when the opponent scared by the ur spirit
that will be the best opportunity to get 1 bon.
i try to put this into a formula: OPPOTUNITY is directly proportional with SPIRIT

3.kendo is about urself (physically), check "shoulder", centre gravity in
stomach, and "feet" before attack.

4.kendo is about urself(mentally), about what u wana to achieve and what kind
of kendo u wana to have, 不要為攻擊而攻擊,kendo is not for hitting people but the
trainging for urself.

5.kendo is about how to treat people, but the "treat" is not about hitting
and get the 1 bon, but the respection and 應對進退. Morioka Sensai told
us about the 禮儀~ 禮--respect for ur opponent and 儀---putting it into shape.

Sensai's words:
*3ways to motivate urself:
-are u trying to do it or are u forced in to do it?
-do u think u can do it ir not?
-do u make it ur responsbility or someone else?

*dont think too much about try to hit ur opponent.

* dnt think too much about trying "not" to be hit.

* self-reflection if u are successful and gratitiude when u get hit.

* prepare well before strike.

* have the faith and will power to overcome all adversity.

* 3check points, back+stomach, left foot shoulder

* if MIND changes ATTITUDE will change
ANTTITUDE.. ACTION..
ACTION.. HABBIT..
HABBIT.. PERSONALITY..
PERSONALITY.. FATES..
FATES.. LIFE..

* you can not change OTHERS and PAST, but u can change URSELF and FUTURE.

* what greatly change ur mind is not great effort but small habit.

that's all the notes i have before, during and after the camp which i learn from all the
Sensai and Senpai ~ in the end, i would like to thank all the Sensai and Senpai, especially
Sam and Marleen sensai~ without them, i couldnt have this awsome experience in kendo.

And again.... hopfully my english is not too bad to understand...my english is just like my kendo,
still got lots of things need to learn....= ="
