hello and welcome to The Kendo Show!
My name is Andy and today we're going to be
talking about how to wear the uniform
for Kendo - that's the Kendogi, which
we wear on the upper half of our
body, and the Hakama - the special sort of
pleated trousers that we wear for
Kendo. It's a very basic level video,
but I think it's good for everybody to
watch. It's brilliant if you're just
starting out in Kendo but also if
you've been doing Kendo a little while
as well as we've got some little hints
and tips as well about how to wear your
uniform neatly. So just before we get
started I do want to just take a minute
just to tell you about KendStar.
KendoStar.com is a Kendo equipment
website that that we operate, and it's
what helps The Kendo Show exist. It's
what keeps the wheels turning
for want of a better word, so if you do
enjoy The Kendo Show, do make sure
that you get over to Kendostar.com when
you do need some equipment for Kendo,
and do all your shopping on
there, okay, because it does help us out,
and everything from their supports
The Kendo Show and it makes sure that we
we keep kicking out these videos and
it'll help us the more
of you guys support KendoStar the
more of these videos we can
work on getting out to you. So without
further ado, let's get straight into the video!
So here I am in the dojo now and I've
got my Hanabishi Kendo Gi, I absolutely
love this very lightweight synthetic
Kendogi, it's really easy to wear very
comfortable very light like I said it
quick to dry too and the best
thing with it being synthetic is that I
can chuck it straight in the washing machine
after practice and wash it just
like any other garment so I don't have to
worry about the color fading and I don't have
to worry about it running its colours
into other clothes either, so very
very good Kendogi, I very much recommend
it. Ok so how I'm going to pop this on
I'm going to pop my left hand in first
ok and I'm going to put it on just like
any other jacket now often in Kendo we
often start with the left first and this
is no exception ok so it goes on just
like any other of the jacket here and
I'm going to be very careful not to nudge
to my microphone but apologies if I do
and what will notice is we've got a set
of strings like this these are called
Himo, and these are going to help us tie
the Kendogi. Ok now there's two on
the right hand side on the outside like
this one up above here and one a little
bit lower and we've got another one on
the outside on the left side and we've
got one on the inside as well here so
we're going to start with this one and
the lower one on the opposite side and
these are going to be tied together in a
bow like this ok and this is going to
stop the Kendogi coming apart whilst
you're practicing so very very useful
Himo and then we're going to pop this
across here and again I'm going very
careful not to nudge my microphone
apologies for that and we're going to
tie this one in a bow here over on our
the right hand side of our chest now the
way we tie this is very important we
must tie it so that the bow sits
horizontally like this ok like this and
not vertically like this
ok this is the incorrect way okay if you
tie it like this it will very easily come
undone during your practice okay so you
must tie it so it's it's horizontal
horizontally nice and neatly now the way
to do that which I'll go through in a
minute so that you can make sure that
you definitely do get it horizontal
every time so you get it nice and nice
and tight there make sure that the ends
and the loop are the same length and not
like this okay or the opposite let's
make sure that they're nice and the same
length so you're looking nice and neat
and presentable okay smooth out any
wrinkles and then we're ready to put on
the Hakama.
when tying the bow on the front of the Kendogi we're going to
make sure that we tie it using a type of
knot that's called Yoko-Musubi
okay that means a knot sits
horizontally this is as opposed to
what's called Tate-Musubi which is
a knot that sits vertically okay so first
we're going to tie it just as you would
a shoe lace first a single pass through
like that and then this is how I like to
do it okay i like to make the loop from
the right side like this okay and as you
can see if you pass these around this
way with the left one going over and
then under the right side you'll now
have this one coming out from underneath
here okay and what we're going to do
then is we're going to make the loop
from the right side and we're going to
make sure that this comes underneath
this way like this and not over the top
if we come under like this once we pull
this loops through
make sure there's that nicely like that
we'll have a nice Yoko-Musubi
like this if however we make our loop
here and instead of coming under this
way we go over this way like that we're
going to end up with this Tate-Musubi
which is incorrect ok so one more time
from the start from here we're going to
take the left one over the top here and
then under by that okay we're going to
make a loop with this side this one here
is coming underneath over and through in
a loop like that okay and this is the
kind of not that you need to use every
kind of bow in Kendo, we use this
here we use this on the hakama when we
tied behind our back and we also use it
on the Bogu, both on the Men and on the
Do, when we tie it behind our back as
well also on the Tare when we tie the
Tare Himo okay so it's very worth
practicing and making sure that we get
this correct.
ok so here I am with my synthetic hakama
I absolutely love this hakama along
with this Kendogi, this is
basically the main uniform that i'm
using for most of my Kendo practice at
the moment basically the great thing
about it is not only is it lightweight
it's comfortable but straight after
practice I can stick it straight in the
washing machine and I can wash it very
very easily I just need to put it in a
washing net or an old pillow case to
make sure it doesn't get damaged and what
have you, but I can wash it very very
easily I don't have to worry about the
colors fading and I don't have to worry
about that the dye running out into
other clothes as well so it's very very
good for that reason and it means I can
use it a lot and I can wash it very very
frequently so yeah great very
recommended for that reason so how we're
going to pop it on is we're going to
we're going to take it from the front
now the front is the side with the five
pleats on it okay I'm going to hold it
like this and as I said before lots of
things in Kendo
start from the left okay so we're going
to start by stepping into the hakama
with our left leg okay like this okay
and then the same again from the right
side okay like this and then we're going
to make sure that we scoop the Kendogi
neatly into into the hakama okay because
the hakama is going to go over the top
of the Kendogi, okay then we're going
to take the front here and this is a
little bit different for everybody the
height at which we fasten this okay but
we want it to sit at a point where it's
just about covering our ankles it's
just going to be about just above the
arch of our feet okay just above the arch
of your feet just like that okay so it's
about here for me and then I'm going to
take these two Himo again these are
called Himo and then much longer on the
front and they are at the back, so
we want to take it around our back here
and we're going to cross them over ok
I've cross them over at the back I'm
going to pull them quite tight but you
don't pull them too tight or 'cause you'll
give yourself a stomach ache okay so
nice and taut okay so that the hakama
aren't going to slip down whilst you're
practicing
Kendo, because that would be very
embarrassing and then we're going to
bring them back to the front here in
keeping them flat the whole time we're
going to cross them over but what we're
going to do is we're going to actually
bring them down very slightly to a maybe
a centimeter or two just below the
actual Bell to the hakama here just
exposing the top of a couple of the
pleats okay just like this and then
we're going to take them right back
around to the back and we're going to
tie them in a bow at the back here much
like we did for our Kendogi here ok
we're going to tie them in a bow here
okay nice and tightly so that it doesn't
become untied and that the Hakama I stay up whilst
you're practicing okay now the next step
is we're going to make sure that the
Kendogi is sat very neatly okay and
we're going to make sure that there's no
creases at the back here and this isn't
bellowing out okay so we're going to
just adjust this, it's a little bit difficult
for me because I've got the t-shirt on
under this which I wouldn't normally
have, we're going to just bring it round
like this so it's sat nice and flat
against our back here okay and there's
no unsightly creases okay it looks nice
and neat from the back okay and then
we're going to take this out there a
little bit we're going to take the back
of the hakama here and there's a plastic
piece like this sure we can see it here
called the Hera okay and this is going
to go into we're going to tuck that in
to the point at which we cross them over
earlier as a very very top very highest
okay when tuck it in there okay then
we're going to take the Koshi-Ita
that's this hard board and we're going
to put that against the small of our
back like this okay then we're going to
take those shorter Himo like this
ok these are now holding the Koshi-Ita
towards the small of our back ok and
then we're going to bring them around
the front like this making sure they're
nice and flat and at the point where we
crossed over the longer Himo at the
front here we're going to cross them
over again and now there's lots of
different ways of doing this this is the
way I like to do it and we're going to
actually take one of these and we're
going to go underneath where we crossed
it over before as well so we're taking
all of those Himo into this single thing
here like that ok like this into a
single knot okay and then we're gonna
just tie it again over the top of that, ok
like that nice and neatly ok and then
we're going to make sure these are nice
and flat and we're just going to tuck
these into the sides here so that they
sit nice and neatly ok like this we're
going to just adjust everything make
sure everything is nice and neat that's
how it should be like this make sure
that it's higher at the back, viewed from the
side it should be higher at the back
than it is at the front ok and then
we're ready to practice Kendo
ok so that was about how to wear the
Kendo uniform the Kendogi and the
Hakama, I do hope you enjoyed it and if
