Passing gas during kendo

[Hai_hai]

Self-explanatory

[Charlie]

I need to be able to check more than one. In fact, I think I need to check almost all of them.

[Inouye02]

hahaha, we have a sensei who does during mokuso..sheeez he cant do it during keiko when its loud ...

yabba dabba dooo ...

[Hai_hai]

I see that it's embarrassing to admit that you've done it because this topic has received many views but not as many votes.

VOTE NOW!

[Charlie]

Like I said, I need to be able to check them all. But I voted sonkyo. Sometimes sonkyo just pushes them out.

[Hai_hai]

Select "All of the above" if you fart in all situations. Unfortunately, you have already voted.

Oops!

By the way, I think this is going to be the subject of a three-part article in the magazine.

I guess it will be an "in depth" artical which will give us the final subleties of the japanese fartial arts. Title " The Oku-fart of kendo, the inner teachings":p

[Confound]

I've heard some doozies over here. It wouldn't surprise me if there are some pretty funny stories on the subject. It might make a nice memoir. A snapp title is needed though.

[Inouye02]

do you fart in keiko confound ?..

[hamish]

There'll be a special in the Kendo Clinic in vol. 2 #8, tied in with kendo and diet, with a free audio CD of the best in action.

:gasmask: :D

I would have said Onara is the least of ones worries.

There are so many guys that come to Japan from colder climates that get geri
(diarrhoea) with the severe heat being shock to system and not knowing how to deal with it.

Never got it myself but the memory is still clear of friends doing kakari geiko and making mad rushes to a toilet that was going to make you feel ill by just going in there anyway. The problem was could you get your bogu then hakama off in time?

Hyaku

[Confound]

Good god, Hyaku! I can't imagine it, and I don't want to! Knowing you, you're dead serious, and those things actually happened, but great scot...

On a seperate note, there must be ways to use a squat toilet without removing hakama. Either that, or some of my sempais are just going into the toilet for a lark.

You only have to remove the back of the hakama, or if you're a guy you can use the space at the sides, but obviously only for number 1s. (tho that's more info than you wanted I'm sure).
Doing kendo drunk or hung over is another good one. Nothing sadder than seing men-gane become a chunk-strainer when someone vomits prematurely.
I'll stop rambling. I'm on some interesting medication for whatever is ailing me at the moment and it seems to go well with beer.

Not in these particular benjo. Its a try and squat in a confined space without slipping and falling down the hole type.:rambo:

Ah! because there is a rigth time to vomit during keiko?

vomit waza perhaps?:((: ;)

[Confound]

I admit, I'm laughing out loud, in juvenile kind of way. There is nothing so amusing as the misfortune of others, but still...

About the squat benjo: I couldn't agree more. I suspect my sempais are going into the toilet for some secret purpose. There's no way in heck that they could use the toilet in less then 1 minute. There's no urinal in there (I clean the bathroom on occasion, I should know).

re: vomiting
That's the most disgusting thing I've heard in ages.

Most westerners when squatting don't bend enough to avoid making some kind of a mess without removing the garments in question entirerly. Even most Japanese are the same, I have heard several coversations over "do you just take one leg out, or take them completely off" with my Japanese friends. You can also just lift one leg of the hakama up and gather it all until you have an opening for #1 if needed.

As to kendo with a hang over, I have found that nothing clears the head so quickly and so well as about 20 minutes of being motodachi for kirikaeshi and not blocking the incoming attacks.

[LadyGinevra73]

ehehheeh :D

[Confound]

Kendomushi,

I wasn't going to get so specific, but your strategy is pretty much the only way I could figure out to use the bathroom while wearing hakama. (Yes, women do use the bathroom, get over it.)

As for using Japanese toilets normally, it must be said that there are loads of people in this country who just don't know how to use the toilet! Even the bathrooms at school are disgusting. Never have I seen so much urine... I feel ill just thinking about it.

[kendomushi]

Confound,

I can't think of the URL, and I refuse to look for it again, but I came across a home page of some guy here in Tokyo who spends his free time checking the public facilities in the region and
posting pics of them along with cleanliness ratings. Actually I guess that would filthiness ratings?

Anyway, if you come across this page, you will probably think the school facilities are, at least comparatively, immaculate.

[nodachi]

The interesting thing I sort of found in my there is that from my fiance's reaction to things there, the men's bathrooms are cleaner than the womens! It is the other way around over here in the States. At least in my opinion...

But it happens! Some always get pushed in kakarigeiko to that point.

I think that guy who checks out toilet cleanliness will never get a chance to retire.

It's still beyond me that is so modern in Japan in some ways its the biggest culture shock one gets upon arriving here Then on the other side they seem happy to squat over a hole in the ground. I put up signs in the toilets yesterday asking men to take one more step forward! Water sewerage charges are still about three times more expensive than the vacuum car. Time they had a re-think on that to encourage more people to get connected the the sewer system, (If they even have one)!

Damn they love squatting. Going to other Asian countries they all sit on chairs. But the Japanese group can be found squatting in front of their shop.

Hike it up, then make sure all exit lines are clear. Naturally this is easier if you’re going commando - but that’s another poll.

[kendomushi]

Nodachi

I'm sorry, but that begs the question: does your fiance know you spend so much times in the womens bathroom? :p
lol

[nodachi]

shhhh... don't tell her... :)

[Hai_hai]

Women's bathrooms are more unclean than men's bathrooms. Why? A majority of the time, men use the urinal. Sometimes, they don't even wash their hands afterwards, thus less water splashing and paper waste. Gross but that's my observation.

Nah. If you get to Mainland China you'll notice everyone is squatting outside and inside of train stations.

BTW if you find yourself in any public toliet in China (wait... not the one in 5-star hotels) do not take breaths inside (better to take one deep breath and do your job asap, and never be tempted to look downwards...

:rolleyes: You have been warned!!

[iwatekenshi]

Yeah that squatting in Japan is called unkozuwari. You do the translation;).
