I have a question about the new rule in tsubazaria. The rule states that players have three breaths (three seconds) before separating. However, before the winning point, which was a hiki men, I counted six breaths (six seconds). As shinpan, are we supposed to start counting when they are in tsubzari? And if they go beyond the three breaths and then make a point, should we wave it off as one of the judges did in this case?
I'm not high level enough to comment officially, so just basing off what I've seen at various tournaments. It seems to me there's some room for interpretation if the players stay active instead of just waiting at "fist to fist" tsubazeriai. Usually when I've seen as long as it was in this match, I expect the shinpan don't call the point. But I've seen lot of points too and it seems to relate how active the players are. So there's some room for shinpan to use their judgement depending on the situation. At least that's my observation, probably someone high level sensei could give better answer.
Nice video about kendo, can we use your video on our TV program? we have a tv program called "Nihon Bunka" to introduce all about japanese culture to our indonesian audience.
Canada team also had a cleanest men-kaeshi-men in the fukusho match, what a pity for them. I'm bored with the WKC. Agree that JP team is strong, but the opportunities should be given for everyone to learn. Thats fairplay, not like this.
1. Korean athletes often fall down, and if this were on the battlefield, such a defeated posture would indicate that their training needs to be strengthened. 2. The chief referee in a match often calls for a stop, which is really not appropriate. Other martial arts events often call for a stoppage, but there is no ruling, which will be considered as an incompetent referee, and may even be suspended. In this team event, the chief referee keeps calling for a stop, does this indicate that the referee's self-confidence and technical level are being questioned by himself and the audience? 3. If the technical level of the referee lacks self-confidence and is not proficient in implementing the rules, the fairness of the competition will be questioned.
주심 깃 올라가는거 , 집중해서 보면 재미있어. 일본선수 부족한 칼에는 거침없이 손을 들어주는데 ( 예를 들어 31: 27 칼에 완전히 걸려서 빼내지도 못한 손목 ) , 한국선수 득점에는 항상 부심이 먼저 손을 들면 , 그때서야 따라가 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 검도는 일본이 잘한다고 생각하지만, 꼭 이런 말도안되는 편파판정이 일본의 검도에 대한 평판을 깎아 먹는다고 생각함.
지금은 몰라도... 옜날부터 있었던 일본검도 엘리트즘이 지금의 야유를 부른건 아닐까요? 일본검도는 그래도 예리하고 멋지지만 세계대회에서 꼭 세메랑 공격프로세스가 있여야지 득점이다...라는 룰은없는거같에요...일본 검도 교범(?)에 보면 정확한 기검체일체와 옮바른 타격부위를 맞희면 득점이라는데... 아쉽네요!
Both Koreans and Japanese players played clean and fair. And with respect. I adore them for their spirit. But the main referee was clearly on the basis of adopting only Japanese kendo style(which I prefer) to his judging. The main referee needs to know that other countries fight differently and should keep all in mind...He is the main judge for the WORLD competition after all...
I would've liked to have overheard the referee's meeting before that day's matches. That was the most gogi's I've heard ever in a match. I think they kept the competition largely clean, but some of the calls were questionable. That sequence during the chuken match leading to the manager's challenge was interesting. What reason did the chuken have for calling time? He was pointing to his men, but the timing was kinda odd seeing as it was when he was backing up close to the corner and the Korean player was in the middle of an attack. If he didn't have a valid reason, he should've been called for hansoku.
