Last night I started wearing Do/Tare/Kote. I didn't feel much weight on me and I didn't pass out twice as fast as I thought I would. In a matter of fact, it felt like the Do and Tare weren't even there at all and I seemed to learn to control my breathing better. Then when I received Do/Kote, believe it or not... I enjoyed being hit. The feeling of being whacked woke me up and increased my interest in Kendo for some odd reasons. Is it me or someone had the same feeling also...?
One more Men! Last one! One more!
No, just you. You got a rare case called whacking enjoyment syndrome or in short called Kendo Syndrome. Seriously, it is the excitement when you know you are progressing. Just wait for a few more missed hits and you will enjoy more.
You learn a lot about yourself in combat.
I prefer whacking over getting whacked.Originally Posted by Mugu
Just be carefull that you don't enjoy getting whacked so much that you deliberately take a whacking where you should whack the others
... are you a masochist?
At first, I wasn't wearing Kote. So I got whacked in the fingers by accident when doing Ai Men. And I also got whacked a little below my Do. They weren't too bad and probably my sempai weren't hitting too hardBut yeh, I shouldn't enjoy it too much, lol

Aren't we all a little?
Such a nice feeling when the pain departs.
p.s.
Adrenalin is really great stuff. I ripped a 3x2" piece from my sole during my last shiai.
Shimpan picked it up from the floor and looked a bit disgusted, but I didn't realize it was my limbs littered across the floor until after the fight was over.
Just wait until you're in full bogu. Then you'll become the target for everyone and that's what happened to me. Everybody lined up and hit me and this went on for quite a while until I had a bruise the size of a pool ball on my right wrist. Great at being able to control your breathing, but just wait until you have to do a few rounds of jikeiko followed by kakarigeiko.
I saw how you guys suffered, lol I'll share your suffering when I visit next year, lolJust wait until you're in full bogu. Then you'll become the target for everyone and that's what happened to me.

Of course. At the end of a class, me and a friend compare briuses and such. The one who is the most beat up wins. And if someone gets a blister, the correct response is "No fair! I want one!"
Why are you worrying about
You-Know-Who?
You should be worrying about
U-No-Poo!
The constipation sensation
That's gripping the nation!
Especially the ones between the armpit and the kidney, the ones on the wrists and the occasional kendo hickey.

every small amount of pain we get causes the human body to release special hormones,which prevent us from feeling pain.If the pain increases gradually ,these substances little by little make us to bear the pain.In sports actually,endorfine also creates a feeling of happiness.Thats why,although tired or hit, everyone is happy and excited after hard jikeiko.I read a very interesting article a while ago in some science magazine but cannot remember which.
There is also a problem for those of us who have an uh.... "large posterior" of some Do hitting too close and uhm.. whipping around.

Yeah, but you don't think I'm going to say that to a lady, do you?
