JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション When I first got to know Devlin, we would occasionally meet at a café and talk about martial arts—that was about the extent of our relationship. One evening, as we were talking about martial arts as usual, the subject turned to kendo practice. I asked him, “How’s practice in the kendo club? Are you enjoying it?” He replied, “Well, the senior members give me all sorts of a...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション After nearly fifteen years of working at a company, I was in my late forties. This time, I would like to share a memory of an American young man named Devlin, whom I happened to instruct in kendo. Devlin had an imposing physique, standing 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing about 198 pounds. He had practiced karate for five years in elementary school, Jeet Kune Do (the martial art founded by Bruce Lee) f...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション After that, the two of us continued our training, discussing one by one the problems that arose from the technical differences between kenjutsu and kendo, and resolving them as we went. Once we actually began practicing, we found that although there were indeed many differences between kenjutsu and kendo, we were also surprised to discover that they shared quite a lot in common. For example, techniques such as t...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション After closing down the dojo, I got by for a while working part-time jobs, and later found employment as a security guard at a building management company. I chose this job because I thought it would allow me to devote time to martial arts training and language study. Yagyū Shinkage-ryū In the same year I joined that company, I also began training in Yagyū Shinkage-ryū swordsm...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション After the sparring ended, Mr. Nakamura spoke to me about many things from his own life. How he had been frail as a child and was bullied a great deal. How he began practicing martial arts because he wanted to become strong. How his girlfriend left him because he was too absorbed in martial arts. And how he had recently received an offer from his senior disciple in America to work there as an instructor. In many ways, his life seem...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション Dragging myself to the entryway, I slid open the door. Standing outside was a tall, broad-shouldered man, easily around 6′1″ with a solid, muscular frame. He looked to be in his late twenties. At a glance, I could tell he was a martial artist—he radiated an invisible energy that seemed to emanate from his entire body. “Are you Takano sensei?” “Yes, that’s me. May I he...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション I will never forget it. It was one spring day when I had run into difficulties managing the karate dojo I was renting from someone, and I was torn between closing the dojo and starting a different life. Alone in the empty dojo where no students came anymore, I sat lost in thought. The main reason the students stopped coming was that I insisted on teaching in the old way. Even my Goju-ryu master, Uehara sense...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション As I mentioned at the beginning, I practiced judo from the upper grades of elementary school through junior high. After entering high school, I began karate, and since then I have not trained in judo. However, because I practiced it in my youth, some of the movements of judo still remain in my body even now. One day in high school, when I arrived in the morning, placed my bag on my desk, and was about to sit dow...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション The first story is about an Aikido master active in Fukuoka. I heard it directly from him during a break in training, back when I was learning Aikido in my late teens. Aikido One evening, the master was drinking at a bar and struck up a lively conversation with another customer. After a good round of drinks, they decided to continue drinking at another place and left the bar together. Naturally,...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション The term “Musōken” (無想拳 The Unconscious Fist) is a phrase used in Chinese martial arts. When one hears “Musōken”, some may recall the “Musōken” (夢想剣 Dream-Thought Sword) said to have been realized by Itō Ittōsai Kagehisa, the founder of the Ittō-ryū school, during his retreat at Tsurugaoka Hachimangū Shrine. *Itto-ryu (一刀...
