Is it ok to train with the tenugui in the forehead, recently I saw a japanese exhibition where children were doing suburi like that.

Do you mean just wearing the tenugui without putting on the men?

You mean, hachimaki - like a sweatband? I sure hope it's OK, been doing warmups that way since I started. Must keep sweat out of the contact lenses...

Sometimes when training outdoors and in mid-summer, we wrap our heads with the tenegui (in a different manner that when using the men) to prevent sweat to get to the eyes, particularly when doing suburi. Thou AFAIK, it's not a common use.

For kendo, ive only ever seen children do it.

**alexosnasos2** · 05-10-2007, 05:38 PM

I should give a try, here is very hot and a lot of humidity, is there any traditional way to put it or just like "karate kid"? haha

**neonasafluni** · 05-10-2007, 05:44 PM

Only see kids and hardcore 愛国心 guys wear hachimaki. I wear one sometimes during summer iai keiko to keep the sweat out of my eyes though.

**elektikakass** · 05-11-2007, 08:13 AM

Only ... hardcore 愛国心 guys wear hachimaki

Yeah, that must be it. So, what's "愛国心" mean?

**Nmoitmzr** · 05-11-2007, 08:29 AM

One time I saw a beginner sweating too much that Sensei gave him a tenuigi to wrap around his forehead to stop the pouring.

Patriotic: "aikokushin."

Ah, good. Thought Leiv might have put "fruitcake in denial" or somesuch in there.

**gogona** · 05-11-2007, 04:46 PM

"fruitcake in denial"

No that is "レイフ".

**ReginaPerss** · 05-12-2007, 12:03 AM

reifu? whats that?

**valiumcheepval** · 05-12-2007, 12:05 AM

reifu? whats that?

Ive been thinking the same thing for a while now.... trust me, you dont want to know...

**chootsonege** · 05-12-2007, 12:13 AM

the word sounds strangely familiar... and something tells me I should not mention that

but its written in katakana, so it must be a word from the english language??

**PypeDeft** · 05-12-2007, 03:05 AM

レイフ Is that Leiv?

**GuitarLoverBe** · 05-12-2007, 05:21 AM

To answer the original question...I'm sure the kendo-police have got bigger things to worry about...

**bely832new** · 05-12-2007, 05:47 PM

english language??

Norwegian actually. It's best not to utter this word.
