四武道
More about backlog. This time it's the "yonbudou" (四武道) at the University of Hyogo (February 15th, 2006).
In Japan there're university clubs. From sports to language study, going through games, singing and so on, there're lots of clubs. And I joined the aikido club here.
That said, four martial arts clubs get together once a year for some event. This time was a practice, the aikido, karate, nippon kenpo and shorinji kenpo clubs together. So, participants were divided in 4 groups and spend around 30 minutes in a small training of each martial art.
Interesting exchange between the martial arts. Although it's not time enough to really learn something, it's worth to know the other arts and to meet people from other clubs. And I also learned 3 different ways to punch ^^;
The nippon kenpo has some judo features... namely ashi waza (leg techniques for projection)... shorinji also has some, but a little... on the other hand there're some things that ressemble aikido a little. And about aikido, I still have some problems trying to teach it... thanks to the senpai who helped me...
After the practice, some enbu (kata for those who prefer that way... although the nippon kenpo has not it and they had a match instead) and some kind of confraternization party.
At that party all goes as expected until someone has the idea of "asking" the first year students to go some kind of short gag... ("ippatsu gei" as they call it) ...Nice. I'm still not completely tuned with the Japanese sense of humor (although i'm getting better) and was never good in telling or doing jokes. Fortunetely some other students helped me (the thing was in groups) and things went fine.
Information: we were the third group and did some small gags with Super Sentai series. The first group I really didn't understand what they did, the second decided with rock, paper scissors who'd take a hit of a handful of mustard from all the others in the group... yuck!
