Physical Training Methods to Improve Your Kendo Book by Kentaro Takahashi

In the field of sports, training methods and theories based on scientific evidence are established in various competitions.
Where is Kendo in these cutting-edge trainings?

I am interested in Kendo from a training perspective.
We provide guidance aimed at improving skills.
I am involved in the All Japan Kendo Federation training course.
In Kendo as well, for about 20 years,
In addition to rehearsals, we also provide various training
They are starting to adopt it.

Due to my job, I am looking at the results of students' athletic ability tests.
I have a chance to verify it.
Kendo club members consistently produce high numbers.
When you become a top player at the national level,
Almost all of them have muscle strength, cardiopulmonary function, etc.
Highly ranked in all measurements
It shows athletic ability.
Because he is a student with high athletic ability.
Will you become a top-level swordsman?
Or through daily practice.
Have you achieved top-level athletic ability?
Not sure.

However, for example, students with top-level athletic ability
If you don't like practicing,
Why Kendo doesn't improve
Isn't it more obvious than looking at the fire?

Although I have been incorporating training,
I don't believe that training will make you a strong swordsman.
Rather, in order to improve your Kendo skills,
I even think that practice is the only option.

So why training?
Basically, training is
This is to build a strong body that is less prone to injury.
This is the position.
If I don't get injured, I don't take time off from practice.

In addition to being strong, it also has stamina,
Build up so-called stamina,
By creating a body that is less tiring,
It may also mean that you can concentrate on practice and games.
In other words, training is about making practice as effective as possible.
What we take in to build our bodies,
It's no exaggeration to say that.

Of course, physical strength through training and
By acquiring instantaneous power,
It may also directly lead to improving your Kendo skills.
However, that acquired athletic ability is also practiced in Kendo.
If it is not connected to movement (stepping, footwork, striking, etc.)
The effect will be halved.
In order to make the most of the acquired athletic abilities,
After all, there is no other way than to hone your technique through practice.

If you pick up this book, you can use it for Kendo training.
I'm sure you're interested.
Acquire the physical ability necessary to improve your Kendo skills through training,
I hope this will help you aim higher.
