- 1年生のアイェントレイです。留学生なので、来年度の秋学期から2年生になります。
このブログの残りの部分は英語で書きます。( 完全に日本語で書けるようにもっと勉強します:)) )
Today marks my the one year anniversary of my stay here in Japan. I almost forgot I arrived here last year on September 19.
A lot of things have happened and I am grateful for each one of them. I am grateful that I have stumbled upon this club. Although it's been a year,
and I apologize, this will be my first blog.
There are a lot of things I want to talk about from these past several months, from the Kyushu University expedition, Kyoto Rensei, Osaka University expedition,
and to the Nanadaisen. But for this blog, I will only be talking about the recent Hokkaido University expedition, which happened last week.
I honestly did not know what to expect from a practice session of the current strongest university in Kosen Judo. On the first day out of the three practice days,
I was already impressed by their new captain, Yokomori-san, working right before practice. Everyone was impressed by his unmatched strength during Nanadaisen and
there was no doubt that he had an impressive work ethic, but I was still impressed. I was also impressed by their warm-ups and uchikomi. The first day felt like
they really emphasized on mastery and repitition of techniques. After uchikomi, we had a session where we learned a few techniques including 帯取返 and newaza techniques
that I felt were related to 帯取返. They made us pair up and practice moves on eachother. I couldn't find a partner because everyone immediately started pairing up and I
was never really the type to speak out when this happens. Surprisingly, their captain, Yokomori-san, came up to me and offered to be my partner. I was scared, but I couldn't
pass up this opportunity to learn from the strongest. He was a really good teacher and was not the scary person I thought he was. I was able to perform the techniques smoothly
as was taught by the OB, but he taught me specific details about the techniques that were really helpful.
On the 2nd day was the practice matches against Hokkaido University. As always, I was put as 先鋒. Being the 先鋒 makes me nervous, but I'm getting used to it.
Both of my matches ended in draws. Although I'm happy to tie against someone from the strongest university, I can't help but feel like I could've won both of my
matches if I was just a little stronger. On the first match, I was able to get the opponent to a turtle position using a move Nimura-Shihan taught me. At that point,
I felt like it was up to me and what I've learned so far to win the game, but I couldn't pull it off. I wasn't able to get the proper choking position, and I just
felt overpowered by the opponent's defense. On the second match, the opponent was left-handed and really good at tachiwaza. All I wanted to do was to pull him to
my guard, but I was always pulled up like what happened in Nanadaisen and we were back to zero. Halfway in, he attempted a harai-goshi on me which I successfully
defended and got him into turtle position. The same problem happened on the first match and the opponent escaped this time and we drawed in the end. I plan to
practice my moves in the turtle and choking positions more next time!!!
I think Phong, Ishida, and Shirakawa's matches also went well.
On the 3rd day were the randori and a learning session. I tried to use my moves as much as I can, but the Hokudai players, especially the first-years, were good at
tachiwaza and I was having a really hard time. I also got to spar with Yokomori-san. At the end of the practice, Sasaki-san taught Ishida a lot about
横三角 and all of us watched, although I couldn't really understand anything. I just thought it was really nice that Ishida has 横三角 and Shirakawa
has SRT, all of which are moves they dedicate to practice and rely on during matches. It would be nice if I could find mine soon :)).
All 3 days were really hard and we were always tired at the end of the day. Every after practice, we go to eat lunch, and then we go back to our hotel to rest.
I wanted to talk more about our travel on the ferry and different places we went to, but for this blog, I decided to talk more about Judo since it is my first one.
Nevertheless, I'd like to show some of my favorite pictures.

まさかブログの更新を忘れてしまうとは...
名古屋に帰るときは船に乗っていたので電波が届かずブログを開くことさえできませんでした。
簡潔に2日目3日目について書きたいと思います。
2日目
この日は練習試合を行いました。結果は後ほど別の人に書いてもらおうと思います。
自分の結果としては2試合やってどちらも引き分けでした。攻めることはできたのですが取りにいかなければいけない場面で取れない、取る力がまだないと感じました。
試合の後は乱取りをしました。北大は1年生が1番多く皆経験者で皆強かったです！
3日目
ほとんど乱取りしかやりませんでした。乱取り中には最近練習し始めたディープハーフを決めることができたのでよかった(>_<)
また七帝柔道記に出てくる佐々木さんに会えました！(うれしい)
北大での練習は学ぶ部分が多くあり、上手く練習に取り入れれば質の高い練習ができそうな気がします。次の練習までに何をやりたいか考えておきます。
以上です

北大での合宿が始まりました
練習内容としては2時間ほどみっちり技の説明や打ち込みをやらせていただきました。
なにやら北大では10週間ほどかけて50個以上の技の練習をして自分の技を見つけるようです。
効率のいい練習方法だと思います。名大でも真似したい。
練習後は北大を少し探検しました。スマホで書いてて写真を載せれないので、まとめて今度載せようと思います。
明日は他の誰かに書いて欲しい

明日から北大での練習が始まります。みんなはフェリーで移動してましたが自分は再試があったので、1人で飛行機を使いました。
悲C😭
さらに、宿にはダブルベッドがあるのですが石田に「一緒に寝る？」と聞いたら「床で寝ます」と言われてしまいました。
悲C😭
この気持ちを明日の練習で晴らせるよう頑張ります！
こんばんは
1年生の石田康次朗です。
日曜日に第70回千種区柔道大会に名柔会として出場しました。
菅沼先輩､石田先輩､西先輩､林先輩､白川先輩と僕で団体戦に､西先輩は二段以上の個人戦､石田先輩は初段以下の個人戦に出場しました。
団体戦は4チームのリーグ戦で行われました。結果は愛知学院大に3ー2で惜しくも敗れ2位でした。
僕個人としては勝つことができましたが、寝技のチャンスを逃したり、序盤から積極的に技をかけることができなかったのでそこは次に活かしたいと思います。
個人戦では西先輩が見事優勝しました。西先輩の技はどうやって入っているのかわからないほど速いので動画で何度も見返しました。僕も西先輩のようなスピードをつけたいです。
代の違う先輩方と一緒に試合に出ることができたことが一番嬉しかったです。来年も先輩方と出て、来年こそは優勝したいと思います。
僕らはこれからフェリーで北海道遠征に向かうところです。初めての遠征なのでとても楽しみです。
早速レイがフェリーの待合場所にカバンを置き忘れてくるというハプニングも…
次はこの北海道遠征について書きたいと思います。
