Default bad kendoka !?
Hello everyone,
I like to keep to myself most of the time and just read the posts and learn but I feel the need to share something with all of you and maybe get some feed back. I have been in kendo for over a year now and I really try to do the best I can as far as form and proper waza while in keiko (sorry for the spelling) but there are two kendoka in my dojo that I refuse to go against. I'm not afraid of them or anything like that but they seam to have no concept of proper cuts they just slam like new-b's. It is completely useless to try and go against them. I will try to explane in the fewest words possible how they "attack", you know when you have a small dog and it thinks it can bit the heels off of everything it comes up against ? Well, one of the guys is just like this, he just keeps bending into the attacks no good form too much power and nothing that resembles respectful attitude for other students, it's like going against a baseball player. The worst part is that we had a get together with the sempai, at his house and I found out that they were trying to make me look like some kind of drug addict, I guess they feel threatened or something because I won't practice with them. I can practice with someone who slams people and obviously doesn't make ippon on anything, it's pathetic. They never come to practice and when they do no one likes it, and no one wants to go against them due to their sloppy and unreasonable approach to the art but when we have no other bogu in our line and only new-b's we have to subject our self to this abuse, not only being slammed but having our waza stripped from us due to there un-kendo like actions. You could easly say that they are swinging baseball bats at people. The reason why I'm comeing out and putting this before all of you is because they are pissing people off that watch what they do and pretty soon, from what I hear, one of the students, not in bogu plans on hurting the main character pretty bad so he can no longer do kendo. I mean even my wife would like to mace them after practice is over, it's like they think they have something to prove like "eh I'm a big strong man watch me hit you hard and look like a UFC battle. I used to practice and be friends with these guys but not any longer, mainly because of there constant disrespect for sempai suggestions and the fact that they don't listen to reason of tradition. They think they can do anything they want and get away with it, and they do. I just don't want to see this other persons plans go through to spill guts in the dojo parking lot I don't wish this on anyone I know, but maybe it should happen. Have any of you had this kind of problem and if so how was it delt with ?
Thank you all,
Jason
