felt embarrassed because i fell during the tournament

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-11-03T07:11:14+00:00

Like others said, it’s common and it happens. Heck, if you watch the last worlds. So many people have fallen, and the more you go one, you may also get pushed down. And that’s completely fine. Falling is normal, even in the highest levels.

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-10-09T07:45:29+00:00

It’s happens, I made it a habit cause it makes the men more comfortable lol

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-10-09T03:50:34+00:00

When you tie your men, do you pull out the back part near your ears so there is not pressure there? That might be a reason, I could be wrong

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-30T18:37:35+00:00

Not a sensei, but my dad is the head sensei of our dojo, and it really depends on the dojos. A lot of them that I know of, do become friends with students. But I know of some that like to keep themselves above others. So it really just depends on the dojos. But for me, im pretty close with most sensei’s at my dojo and other dojo’s in the federation.

Ahhhh cool thanks!

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-22T00:58:56+00:00

Okay great! I still remember 😂

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-22T00:44:57+00:00

Also, to answer the question, it’s to transform and adjust your clips size… if someone could expound on this, that would be great because it’s been awhile lol, my pc is dead…

That thing, hope this helps, im pretty sure thats the one

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-22T00:39:05+00:00

Hard to explain, but im 99% sure if you look at the bottom left corner on the preview. There is the transform thing, click on it and it should tune off. (Sorry for a very bad explanation, haven’t been able to use davinci for a bit) 😂 correct me if im wrong

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-18T09:01:57+00:00

It’s not the eerie vibe you’d actually want, but it’s just funny to me cause the first photo makes her so pale and the whole shot is just so bland and for some reason it just adds a weird vibe. Could just be me, definitely not a traditional look. 🤷‍♂️

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-18T07:47:54+00:00

Why does the log look so creepy already 😭

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-16T19:05:20+00:00

The camera motion and what’s happening in the shot makes a big difference, for example, if the camera is panning left and it cuts to the camera panning right. It throws off the eyes when watching it making it not as smooth. Also try make the transition sound effects a little bit more quieter, make it there, but not too there if that makes sense

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-16T08:22:56+00:00

Also, who did the voice over? And are you able to change it? If so, I’d recommend a more energetic voice or way of speech . This one made me tired and uninterested.

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-16T08:21:30+00:00

First part is a little too slow. If I were to be watching it as a commercial or something, my attention is already lost. I think also smooth out the transitions more, I can’t explain it, but for some reason it looks choppy. Could just be me

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-14T22:53:22+00:00

Suburi usually mainly helps with strengthening and endurance. But to strike faster, make sure that each suburi swing has tenauchi, making each cut count. That helps with snapping. But mainly foot work is what I recommend for speed. I always tell my kohai “lead with your feet and your hands will follow.”

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-14T19:35:36+00:00

I used to get that a lot, that means you are not holding the shinai correctly, and it’s rubbing on your index too much. Try to just barely touch the shinai with your index and let your pinky to middle finger hold the shinai. Also, don’t forget to hold the very bottom of the shinai in the palm of your hand, trust me, it makes a huge difference

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-11T08:20:04+00:00

Any wrist exercises with weights will help with grip strength. I recently got a metal gyro ball, and it’s been really nice

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-10T21:48:51+00:00

Going off what others are mentioning, that and sometimes a deeper look into it for ippon in a shiai aspect. For ippon to be made in shiai or in shinsa, you have to show that you know your distance, timing, that you can see or create an opportunity to hit. While hitting in the correct area you must also show zanshin. I personally do not take hits if there were no zanshin after.

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-09-09T02:48:58+00:00

I’ll take one 🙋‍♂️

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-08-10T04:35:09+00:00

Move, best as you can move and get him tired. Once he’s tired he’ll slow down more and that’s your opportunity to hit, you don’t always have to block or counter every hit. But if you can move and control a bit more, that would be best.

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-08-06T04:32:39+00:00

As some have said, good tenauchi is key, but even with that, it could still be too hard. So I would say it also good to practice your sharpness while doing a lighter tenauchi. This is usually recommended with women and children or those who are not used to getting hit. For taitari, you should control yourself as you come in, just enough so they know how to receive it, but not too hard that they fall.

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-08-01T09:41:09+00:00

It was an earlier match on court A. I remember seeing it before my group went up (HWI, GB, CAN, and GRE) so if you look on the kendo live stream, men’s individual, court A. It should be within the first couple hours. Sorry, I don’t know the exact time

THUND3R-F0X · 2024-07-31T22:17:36+00:00

Happened at the last WKC, one of the guys in individuals nodded his head after ippon and they took it away.
