Swordsmanship, which originated in China, was introduced to Japan in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and was later reformed by the Japanese, making full use of its advantages and making up for its shortcomings, forming a unique fencing technique, which was used to defend the country, resist foreign enemies and maintain social order and tranquility in ancient times. Tang Zhu, cassock chop, anti-cassock, left pheasant, right pheasant, left tangent, right tangent, headwind and spurs are all based on these nine chop styles, and Shancheng himself has made corresponding changes in line with these chop styles. For example, the length is shortened and the blade is straightened, which are all for the modification of ground operations, not for immediate operations. The manifestation of Satsuma was born on the basis of two kinds of diagonal lines, the cassock chop and the reverse cassock chop, after completely removing the redundant movements; He Ju fencing was born on the basis of left pheasant or right pheasant, supplemented by two-stage deformation technique. It was not until the end of19th century that science and technology developed day by day and gradually became a martial arts sport. Fighting with bamboo knives and protective gear has evolved into the current "kendo" movement. At present, kendo has become a compulsory training course for Japanese and Korean police, and the police circles in France and Brazil also attach great importance to it. In addition, it is popular in more than 40 countries around the world, and the technical level of Taiwan Province Province ranks second or third.

Second, the required equipment

Modern kendo is a real fighting with bamboo knives and protective gear. Therefore, there is also a special research on equipment; The bamboo knife is composed of four bamboo boards, a knife tip skin and a knife handle skin. There are masks, chest protectors, hanging waist, gloves and cotton-padded clothes in the sheath. The venue is generally on the wooden elastic floor, playing barefoot. Therefore, the protective measures are perfect, so the injury rate is lower than other martial arts sports.

Third, training methods.

Kendo is a martial arts sport. When beginners learn, they need to show their swordsmanship with their physical strength. When the technology is mature, it will win with smart strategies. Therefore, teaching needs vary from person to person, and appropriate practice time and times should be given. However, the attitude of learning must be rigorous and serious in order to get substantive results.

The way of training, for beginners, should start with the decomposition action, then reach the combo action through the click action, then gradually enter the chain practice, and then turn to intensive impact training. In the training room, if an individual is found to have movements that are not easy to learn, individual guidance will be given. This has evolved into a comprehensive exercise, in which counter-attacks are skillfully combined and used, and then extended to mutual confrontation to heart-to-heart attack and defense confrontation.

Fourth, the location and judgment of effective strikes.

The effective hitting parts of kendo are face (including front, left and right sides), throat, abdomen (left and right abdomen) and hands (left and right wrists), all of which are key parts of the body. Judgment and determination: the determination of the so-called effective strike should be based on the consistency of momentum, spacing, timing, strike position, strike intensity and other conditions.

Five, the effect of learning

Kendo has the essence of sports and martial arts. Long-term practice can not only promote physical health and enhance spiritual vitality, but also cultivate strong willpower, concentration and enterprising personality, as well as keen judgment and calm and confident attitude. These advantages are not only used in martial arts, but also helpful to everyone's way of doing things or enterprise management. Therefore, Zhizhi's life has never stopped and benefited.

How to appreciate and watch kendo?

In fact, fencing is just a means, and the two sides make moves before the confrontation; This is a heart-to-heart battle. Therefore, we can appreciate and watch kendo from two aspects: external technology and internal psychology. Technically, the movements are sharp and graceful, and the momentum and spirit are full, showing a strong and powerful performance. Psychologically speaking, we can see the wisdom and practice of the swordsman by looking at whether the swordsman's emotional expression is calm or superficial, whether he can have keen and correct judgment in the battle, and how to take appropriate countermeasures, such as "preempting", "waiting for merit" or "winning by counterattack".

Characteristics of kendo

First, modern kendo is to use a bamboo knife, wear a sheath, and fight, bump, stab, avoid, block and other moves to carry out real fighting. Because you need to wear self-defense protection,

Protective measures are relatively perfect, so sports injuries are lower than those caused by direct physical contact.

Second, kendo has the essence of sports and martial arts. Novices need physical strength to demonstrate their swordsmanship. When the technology is mature, they will win with clever strategies.

Usually it is easier to use physical strength when you are young, and the technology of rapid and intensive attacks is the main one. When you are old, you can use your calm and steady intelligence to attack at the right time.

Defensive skills defeat the enemy, so there is no age limit. Men, women and children can learn as long as they can hold a knife.

3. kendo is a kind of self-discipline activity, so you should concentrate on dealing with it seriously and fight back the opponent's attack persistently before you can.

Can hone and grow in adversity. Moreover, practice often has the action of putting all your eggs in one basket and attacking each other, which can not only cultivate strong will.

Strength can also cultivate concentration, courage and positive work attitude.

Fourth, mental exercise, it is generally believed that "kendo" is only the appearance of hands and feet, but fencing is actually just a means. In fact, the motivation of behavior stems from the decision of inner thoughts, and the confrontation in front of the other party becomes a heart-to-heart battle. Therefore, carefully observe each other's mentality and cultivation.
