Did my first keiko lastnight... - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**insightmike** · 05-11-2006, 10:27 AM

got to wear my bogu yesterday and i did some keiko -- _completely_ different with bogu on, and i learned that i REALLY need to work on my endurance -- we only do it for about 20-30 minutes and i was exhausted after only a few rounds :|

good fun, though. i love kendo!

**LarryG1978** · 05-12-2006, 02:02 AM

Glad you enjoyed it. Keep it up.

Oh, and thanks - glad to know I'm not the only one who gets absolutely knackered...

Thats my promblem too. I'm doing haya-suburi everyday till I drop in an effort to increase my stamina. There are better ways to increase your stamina(cross training). I just really really hate running or doing anything else besides kendo to improve my endurance.

you know, i had the EXACT same idea. ive done a few hundred haya suburi a day for the past few days.

IMO, keiko is more tiring and strenuous than running. first of all, you're using your entire body, there's a good amount of weight in a shinai, so your arms get tired...AND you're wearing armor, so there's little breathing room so you heat up quick :P

**tefraxKedWere** · 05-15-2006, 06:14 PM

how long did you train to get your bogu on? my sensei says i have to practice for 6 months, i couldnt tell if he was joking or not.

**GoblinGaga** · 05-15-2006, 06:29 PM

Probably being serious.

**Brareevor** · 05-15-2006, 06:32 PM

cool itll gimme a goal to work towards

**horoshevapola** · 05-15-2006, 06:46 PM

6 months is nothing - at my dojo we can start to play with bogu not sooner than after around 1 yr of practice...

**Forex Trading Software** · 05-15-2006, 07:13 PM

I think I was practicing for around 4-5 months before going into bogu. I still remember the feeling even now. I think I know what Darth Vader felt like in Star Wars. The men which I first used was also a bit loose so I felt like my head was stuck in a jar....

You soon get used to it so work hard.

When I started to wear bogu, I sometimes forgot to breath during jigeiko then suddenly I started to suck in like a cow. So, don't forget to breath.

Did you expell noxious gasses out of your anal pore?

Argghhh, I am too civil to do that since I'm civil engineer. beside I am not an old fart yet so what you have done doesn't mean others experienced the same.

You are endangering your health.
