"HaHaHa"-evil chuckle

and
"if this is hard, you havent been practising enough" (we are rolling around in agony going "we know, dont rub it in") but also many encouraging statements come such as "well done" and "only one more"

"Finger lost, grip difficult, eh?" Hirakawa-sensei, kyoshi hachi dan, at seminar this weekend in malmoe, Sweden on the topic of cuts that hit the fingers. I never got if it was a bad thing or a good thing though, he laghued a lot saying it.

Before every Taikai My Sempei would reminds us…

“Remember your technique is dead, but your opponent is alive”
– meaning never relies on your technique, and always readies to adapt to your opponent.

Haha...Hirakawa Sensei is a great guy! He was teaching us at the Edinburgh Seminar(Post WKC). He's got a great(if not a bit twisted

) sense of humour...his famous debana chin chin

still brings on a chuckle

At least for me it's "Jeez...what the hell was THAT?"

Hint: He has the whistle.

Don't worry about ending your life in this Dojo today, just worry about tommorow's Kendo practice.

Ichikawa-Sensei.

"Make ippon,every time"

"if we get charged for that you will pay for it " sensei to me after I fell down and made a dent on the floor with the mengane. I tripped on a (as of then unnoticed) small puddle of blood from my foot.

"Since it's your birthday you will get special treatment!" Then I got treated to a special kind of shiai where I had to fight ippon-shobu with everyone. But it didn't matter how many points were scored on me, the match wasn't over until I scored, or five minutes passed, then I would do sonkyo with my opponent and at the same time with the next person and have an ippon shobu with him. When I had fought everyone I did kirikaeshi, 19 men going forward and 20 going backwards.
