World cup !

[Antonin]

Hi folks,
The British kendo Association has published the list of those who are volunteered to help during the KWC in Scotland. And yours trully is one of them. So are some on this forum, plus some who will be in different teams... I was wondering: are some of you going to attend and come to (erm....) sunny Scotland? (Sorry George....).
And if some are, shalll we meet for a wee drink ? :-) And some kendo if possible !
Antonin

[Tato]

Well, for sure I'm not going be in our national team (got 3rd kyu last week...), altough I hope that a couple of our club members will.

If I can I will assist, and of course I'll try to do some kendo.

Rei

[GMason]

I'll be there I've been put on Security :D :D

So ...... If your name's not down your not coming in !!! :) :)

But I'm hoping to practice at both Glasgow Dojo's while I'm there, and do as much drinking as possible !!!!!!

So if anyone wants to meet up I'll be up for it, wether it be for Kendo or Beer. I'll be there !!!

[KhawMengLee]

Yup, I should be coming to work in England within the next 2 or 3 months. So I'll definately try to see the WKC.

[Kenshi]

Hey!

Scotland is fine! Who cares about the weather, you'll be inside.

There are only 2 kendo clubs in Scotland: Edinburgh Kendo Club, and Taiseidokai in Glasgow. Only 40 miles apart approx. See if you can get to both. I wont be about immedietly prior to the WKC as we have a gasshuku at a secret highland location.....

Scottish Dojo:
http://www.kendo.org.uk/dojo/scotland.shtml

Make sure you visit Edinburgh - its the nicest city in the UK.

KhawMengLee - be sure and tell us where you will keiko while you are in England (London?).

oh - btw - the online volunteer list is BKA people only... there are other helpers from European countries as well.

[KATSUJIN]

i am trying to get into the national team in order to go there so if i can get in...hope to see u guys there!!!

[KhawMengLee]

GM-I'll be in Bath. So looks like I'll probably be joining Oxford's club because of the timeframe they got (8pm plus).

[Kenshi]

i'll see ypu at Oxford then. If you dont know where you are going email me (george@edinburghkendo.co.uk) and I can either give you directions or meet up with you prior.

[Matthew Lagden]

i was planning on going to visit a friend and watch the competition, so hopefully will see some of you there.

[BigG]

I did offer to help but didn't get picked ... will try to drag by backside north of 'the wall' for the occaision though and look forward to having a glass of shandy or two (can people on security arrange gatecrasher party entry for the unselected few? LOL)

BigG

[don_lubo]

Does any TV will show the WKC in Glasgow??

[Paburo]

go spain! .... ok jk, the tournament has not yet started.

i'm glad i've found a way to contact you WKC people though. Does anyone here know how to suscribe a new country to the tournament?

this is very important, i hope you guys can lend me a hand here.

regards

[Nishi]

We will be up for WKC and training at both dojo....i think were staying at the "royal scott" in Edinburgh....I then plan to slip past security (Gmason) when he's not looking, he will be hungover anyway.......:-) This will complete my shinobi training for the summer.

[KhawMengLee]

Hey, if I wanted to go where do i get a ticket or can I slip in with my mates on the malaysian or australian team?

[KhawMengLee]

hello?

[KATSUJIN]

i not sure abt that....oh yah.....khawmenglee.....i got ur message.....i think wednesday would be better....i think u recognise me rite??? so then, see u on wednesday....

[bronxjragon]

My sensei is actually going to be on the Scotland Team. He's a 6th Dan and was originally from Scotland. So he's gonna' be there this year for sure...he just came back from there a few months ago and one of the dojos actually made a zekken for him with the dojo logo and all! Free zekken!

[Antonin]

Bronx,
There is no Scotland team, as the scotish kendokas fight in the British team... You may want to check with your sensei ?
Antonin

[Paburo]

is kendo kashin on that team too? :D

[bronxjragon]

Antonin

Well, he's Irish/Scottish and while there are like 2 dojos in Ireland, they don't compete in the WKC. Thats why he told me he's going to be on the Scottish team...I'm pretty sure there is one though, if not I should ask him what team he's going to be on...I don't think its going to be the American team because its probably the hardest to get into next to the Japanese team.

[Tato]

What about Canada, France and Brasil and Korea?

Rei

[sminki]

According to past WKC performances, the USA kendo team is not necessarily the most difficult to get onto (and hence the elitest/best) outside of Japan.

Out of 11 WKC so far, Japan has won first place in all the team competitions. The follow-ups are: Korea (second place 6 times, third place 2 times), Canada (second place 2 times, third place 5 times), Brazil (second place 2 times, third place 4 times), Taiwan (second place 1 time, third place 4 times), USA (third place 6 times including 2 third place by Hawaii), Okinawa (third place 1 time).

On the individual side, Japan has won first and second place in ALL 11 WKC's and also gotten third place 15 times. The follow-ups are: Korea (third place 6 times) and Taiwan (third place 1 time).

Note that all references to third place are joint third place shared by two parties, so if you bother to count, there are 22 third places in each of teams and individuals over the years.

BTW, who's this kendo kashin character everybody seems to be talking about???

[Tato]

Hi Sminki, that's prety accurate, but not what I meant.

In fact I belive that to be in the national team you must beat most of the kenshi of your country, that means that competition will depend on two factors, number and quality of the kenshi.

In Europe the biggest kendo federation is the French one, and they are the best ones too (something of the Japanese role but on the Europe theater). So the hardest national team to get into, in Europe, is the French one.

Rei

[Antonin]

Bronx,
I was being polite. My sensei hapens to be the UK coach, and I personally know some scots who are on the Uk team. So I can confidently tell you that there is no Scotish team. For most individual "sports"/martial arts (let's not start a debate here...), the different nations of the UK compete under the UK flag.
I would agree with Tato. Getting it the French squad is pretty tough. I think the difficulty of geting in the squad depends on the size of the national federation (i.e. more people figting to fit in a squad of 5), so the largest the federation, the most difficult it should be. For example, it will be harder to get in the French aquad (2500-3000 members of the federation) than on the Irish squad (30-50 members...).
Or are you just assuming that since it is the American team, it must be the best one and therfore hard to get in ? ;-)
A.

[sminki]

tato,

i agree. the number of kenshi competing is certainly a factor in the relative difficulty of getting onto a team. i just wanted to provide everyone with a point of view from the performance side.

i wonder who has the most number of kenshi outside of japan and korea?

Hi Bronx,

There is definately no Scottish team - Kendo in the UK falls under a single Association - the British Kendo Association, which covers Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England. In order for there to be a Scottish team, we would need to have a Scottish Association - and we only have 2 dojo in Scotland too!

There is actually an Irish team. I beleive they submitted a team to the last WKC in America, and have put teams forward to the European Championships for the last 2 years, so I suspect they will make an appearance this year too.

Gill :D

[JSchmidt]

I believe that there's now 4 dojo's in Ireland.
1 in Dublin, 2 in Cork and a 4th one somewhere else (I have happily forgotten the name).

Jakob

[KATSUJIN]

hmmm....well the WKC is coming closer and everybody is getting more excited......heehhhe.....i hope to have a chance of going there this time.....

[ak76]

yes , im wondering olso if this event will be televised , i havnt seen any ads for it from eurosport etc?

[Kenshi]

Hey,

Dont know about televised (though I suspect the local news channels may pick it up), but there is chat of a DVD being produced and even a webcast. I would probably forget about the latter though....

As to Scottish team.... nobody told me !?!?!? [ humour ]

bronxjragon - which dojo do you practise at? I am ex ken-zen.

Cheers.

[KATSUJIN]

This I am not sure of meng, but u can ask ur club president or chairman at malaysia...i think...he might be able to tell u....

[nollaig]

The other dojo in Ireland is..........................
Castlebar Co. Mayo

and Ireland compete in the WKC!!!
*grrr*
Don't slag off small things!

So G.MCAll
were are the best watering holes in Scotland?
Noel

[Tato]

Now, that's an important question.

Rei:D

[Kenshi]

Well I am an Edinburgh person and not a Glasgow one.... I will leave the answer to such an important question to Gill...............................

[gill]

Where to begin....there are so many. I have been away for a year :down: and I really miss Glasgow! Its a great place!

So watering holes.... I'll list the 'old faithfuls' you get a lot of new pubs coming and going..... but they will be pretty close to these ones.

Close to the Kelvin Hall there are loads, Infact most pubs in that area of Partick, and up Byres Road are pretty good. Inparticularly The Lismore, Cottiers, Uisge Beatha, Hogshead, 3 Judges, Curlers...to name a very few.

City Centre... Sauchiehall St is pretty good - or the Merchant City - Babbity Bowsters, Blackfriars, The Old Printworks....

If nothing else, that will give you a starting point from which to explore..... enjoy!

Oh, and one last thing - we don't have the same silly liscencing laws as they do down here - pubs are generally open till 12 or 1 :p

Gill :evolved:

[mingshi]

Hmmm tempting... But how many of you can drink? Will they banned people from the WKC because they are suffering from serious hangover? (I suppose alcohol consumption will be considered as "drug use" if it exceeds a certain amount?)

Judges included! :p

[KhawMengLee]

DRUNKEN KENDO!!! Kendo Jackie Chan style!!!:D

I think it will be the repercussions from Team Coaches/managers/ team mates that will stop people drinking - as well as the knowledge that you have worked really hard to fight for your contry, then %^&&% it up by getting pissed the night before and fighting like crap!

save it for the sayonara party!!!!!

G :D

[mingshi]

Oh I just remember... I am doing the grading after the WKC, which is the day right after the party!!!

AArrrgh, why is this happening every single time??!!:cry: :cry: :cry:

[KATSUJIN]

so if u guys dont mind....can anyone here tell me whether he or she is going to the WKC...so if i can...i maybe able to meet u guys.....:-)

[KhawMengLee]

Okay, all KW forum ppl who go to WKC tape an A4 size paper to their back with their login name on it:)

[mingshi]

As far as I know, here's the list of UK people on KW forum who is also on the list of WKC co-ordinators/ helpers (by that I hope we all have name tags):-

Phil McLaughlin
GMason
Steve Bishop
James
Antonin
Mingshi (I have a bad feeling that I'll be the one mopping the floor for 3 days :o)

Those who are fighting:-
George McCall
Gill

Please add to the list if you're name is not here. There should be a lot more spectators right?

Please also add in if you are from other countries. Who's really coming? You only have 2 1/2 months to decide!!

[Tato]

MHHHH... hopefully I don't decide who goes for Spain, I would certainly chose the wrong ones :D

Cela dit, I still hope to go to Glasgow to cheer our team, and try to do some keiko with the people there.

Rei

[KATSUJIN]

oh...i am going as participator

[KhawMengLee]

hoi, how can you miss Meng on that list Mingshi :(

[Kenshi]

Mingshi,

>Mingshi (I have a bad feeling that I'll be the one mopping the floor for 3 days )<

Maybe you could mop my brow after each fight if you prefer !!!

Hang on, maybe this is a job for Meng .......

[KhawMengLee]

HAI!!! *produces towel and mops brow in true Oyabun's lackey style*....hehehe...I wonder if the Yakuza kendoka have service like this?

[KATSUJIN]

Well....I hope to see you guys there...Meng.....u r going rite? Then I will look out for u....

[KhawMengLee]

Hahahaha...no problem dude...and you might get to battle Mr Wong again(since he will be on the Malaysian team)...hehehe...

[KATSUJIN]

Oh man.....Mr Wong is damn tough....

[KhawMengLee]

He's waiting for you...hehehe:D and he looks tougher than ever...:eek:

[KATSUJIN]

:eek: wat do u mean he is waiting for me????

[KhawMengLee]

Hehehe...no lah! joking only lah! But he will be there to take up the challenge;)

[KATSUJIN]

In light of the SARS epidemic ongoing now, there is one important question I would like to ask. If in case the SARS problem is not solved by around th WKC, will the countries with SARS cases be prevented from participating?

[mingshi]

Originally posted by KATSUJIN

Yeah they will be quarantined for 10 days before they'll let you out...

If that happens I will fight on behalf of the HK team :D

(just kidding)

[JSchmidt]

Hmm good question. Sensible thing would be to quarantine people for 10 days, which will probably shoot holes in a alot of peoples travelplans!.
I'm not one for overreacting with this, but having people come together from all over the world and then return to their respective contries, would be a very good way of spreading SARS!

Jakob

[Tato]

This is a damm serious issue, many of the most important kendo teams came from the hot zones, and must be put on quarantine is gouvernements officials and WHO says so.

That's not just a matter of kendo but of straigthfoward responsibilty. It's difficult to me to see kendokas being a potential vector for contagion just for a World champs, it's the other peoples life that is on the line. Quite against kendo spirit et al.

More opinions on the forum?
And, is there already any position on the issue from the federations of your own countries?

Rei

[KATSUJIN]

My president for our club here says there has been no news received from the British Kendo side yet....he said that since the situation in Singapore is getting better slowly....chances are we might be able to go....but we can't confirm this yet....

[Paburo]

if they ban possible SARS infected countries:

all asian including japan and korea for being near china
canadians
usa for being near canada

it would be like another ekc!

if that happens who would win the world cup then? :D

nah, not likely.

now seriously, i guess along with the shinai weight control they'll make fever/virus control of the contestants if that.

[KATSUJIN]

I know that there is another thread for this...but this thread seemed more appropriate for this....

Anybody knows where I can find videos on the previous WKC? The links in the already given url of the other thread are down....

[angryshinai]

sorry guys im going to be really imature

ausi ausi ausi

oi oi oi

[KhawMengLee]

ausi!

oi!

ausi!

oi!

ausi ausi ausi!!

oi oi oi!

:D

[Raígma]

What shall this ausi and oi mean??

[KhawMengLee]

as angryshinai will confirm it is an ancient chant to summon the rainbow serpant out of his sleeping place in Ayers rock....;)

Naw, its a sports chant, as in "Aussie(australia) Aussie Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!".

It next to our other favourite chant "we don't care if its not fair! As long as we beat New Zealand!" :D

hahaha...god bless Andrew Denton and crew.

[angryshinai]

lol

Its just a pitty the event isnt going to be braudcast out here in oz... I hope that they can organise a webcast so i can have a few mates over. Fire up the barbie, huddle round a dsl connection and crack open a Fosters.

[aru-ma]

Dont think there'd be webcast on it, I doubt it, well I guess this goes into the "kendo should be prromoted more" argument, but I'm not touching that issue at the moment.

[KhawMengLee]

Mate! Only sheilas and kiddies drink bloody Fosters;) Hahaha...Get the VB's and Carlton Cold out!

[Ares2907]

Too cheap to spring for Coopers, Meng?
:p

[KhawMengLee]

Hahaha...that's bloody South Australian bread and water! I grew up with that stuff...pale ale:)

Actually*blush* I kinda developed a taste for Strongbow red...erm...it's that sweet cider taste...never could whistle loud enough to crack the bottles in the bar though ;)

Ooooh... I hope someone does get a webcast of it set up. That would rock for those of us who couldnt make it. I'd be willing to have a few dojomates come over, hook it up to my larger TV and watch all you drunken or SARS (or both) imbued people get it on in keiko :D

[KATSUJIN]

yeah...alot of people on my side wants at least a webcast so that they can view it....

anyway.....lets see...

47 days to go!!!

[mingshi]

Ah, Katsujin, maybe you should try attaching a webcam to your Men and do a live webcast of a few matches :D (You know those they sell in Yahoo searches?)

[KATSUJIN]

if i do that...very soon...u will see a shinai approaching...and then short static screen...and end of your 'world'.......

[KhawMengLee]

inside the MEN then, with a mike...then when you go up against the Korean Bus we can hear you go "NooooOOOOOO!!!!":D

[KATSUJIN]

....:rolleyes:......well....i hope to avoid the koreans as far as possible....

[KhawMengLee]

Haha...we got them in our pool...but I think we don't get to fight them...yet...Thailand drew right next to them so guess who they fight first?:D

I guess my "See my kote!" waza(see personal qoute) would only make them mad:eek:

[KATSUJIN]

ok...lets see......

42 days to go!!!!

[Inouye02]

nah KML, I think they would just bust out laughing real hard ..

[KhawMengLee]

From what I saw of the Korean team at the last WKC, I think they don't have a sense of humour...;)

[KATSUJIN]

ok...back to the countdown....

37 days to go!!!

[KATSUJIN]

33 days to go!!!

[Tato]

Sorry to ask Katsujin, but, are you looking to increase your position on the top posters rating by doing this?

;)

Rei

[KATSUJIN]

Nope...not at all...its just a friendly reminder to the hopeful participants and spectators about the no. of days left for the tournament.....:D

[KATSUJIN]

OK....

[Anarei]

[Goomba]

Hello everyone,
I am going to the WKC, but I am only going for the 4th-5th as a spectator with some pals. It looks like we have a rather large group of people showing up for this event. Did anyone set anything up yet?

Oh, Are there rules reguarding what I can and cannot record at the tournament? Will it be bad fourm to record everything I cam with my camcorder?

See you there!

[sjp]

Oh, Are there rules reguarding what I can and cannot record at the tournament? Will it be bad fourm to record everything I cam with my camcorder?

Make sure you buy beer for Phil Mclaughlin & Steve Plimbley
and we will make sure Gavins Rottwiellers dont throw you out
for using your camera

:)

[Danny Boy]

Umm while we're at it, i suggest you buy a few rounds for the Taiseidokai club members too.

:D ;) :D

[StylophonePet]

I shouldn't be betting on the fact that the WKC might be aired on Eurosport ?

[Fraz]

You'll need to buy beer for Fraz who's working security also..:D

[aru-ma]

To singaporean kendoka only,

Can you please tell me who are you sending for the worlds? Someone told me that this one girl from our club was picked for the womens team reserve, just want to check.

thanks

[KATSUJIN]

ur club??? r u sure? can u tell me who this person is? the team can only have singaporeans..but u r indonesian rite?

[aru-ma]

Yes I'm Indonesian but I'm living in melbourne, Australia now (for the past 4 years). The person I'm talking about is of singaporean nationality, so she would be legible in your team.

[qpuppy]

Are you taking about Daphine Aruma????

[aru-ma]

Yes i was, was just double checking with the people in singapore, plus checking if anyone in this forum knows her. I've already PM'd Katsujin about it so its all cleared.

[KATSUJIN]

oh yes.....i want to ask something....i found out that the sayonara party for the WKC costs 60 pounds.....is it true????

[kendokamax]

who is going to win the competion you think?

[qpuppy]

Hey Katsujin...

Just wondering.. is it true that Tiffany is gonna be one of the subs going to the WKC?!?!?!... :eek:

[KATSUJIN]

qpuppy...how u know tiffany? and yes..she is a sub....

[mingshi]

Just checked the WKC site again...

What is a Kusarigama?

[Raiza]

Modified sickle with a long weighted chain attached. Hm, versatile...

http://www.trocadero.com/omiya/items/113993/item113993store.html

And if you dress up like a ninja, you can look like this! http://www.geocities.com/SNYCentral/Cho_Kusarigama.html

I don't think this will be re-enacted at WKC, though :(

[Paburo]

kama= sickle
kusari= chain

raiza. you don't need to dress like a ninja to wield a kusarigama. especially if you're a girl. it increases your chances of being beaten on the street.

LOL, yes I'm well aware that I don't need to dress like a ninja to wield a kusurigama...I just thought it was a funny pic that was worth mentioning. :ninja:

Next time I will put funny faces behind my non-serious comments! :D :p :bandit: :alien: :rambo:
