合格率 & 11/21, 24, 25の稽古



11/18に愛知で行われた六段審査会の合格情報が全剣連のホームページに掲載されました。
The six-dan examination took place in Aichi on 18th November, the result of which has been published on the AJKF home page.


合格率また10%切ってました。9.5%だそうです。前回の夏季審査会も厳しい合格率だったけど、このあたりの厳しい水準で落ち着くんでしょうか。これまでの合格率調査してみました。
The pass rate was 9.5%. The one in the summer examination, which I tried, was also tough rate but this is still kept the similar low rate. I've checked the past pass rates since 1999.




改めて数値を見ると、意図的と思われる程順調な下がりっぷりですね。(因みに19年度分はこれから行われる東京審査会が含まれていません)

I've realized that the rate is getting down linearly as if it was planed on purpose. (Note: The coming examination in Tokyo is not included in 2007.)


さて、稽古のほうですが、稽古熱心メンバー'sのうちH先生、S先生が八段審査会の為に帰国して以来、ここ1週間メインの稽古相手は東京で六段を受審されるWさんです。二人っきりのマンツーマン稽古もありましたが、そこで改めて自分の持久力のなさを思い知った次第です。息が上がってゼイゼイ言っている自分を尻目に先輩であるWさんはケロッとしてます。そういえばH先生と稽古お願いしているときもよく感じます。よってこれからは、基礎体力増強のため、日々の運動を行いたいと思います。

Now, I have been practicing mainly with W san, who plans to try the six-dan examination in Tokyo next week, since the other Kendo obsessions, H sensei and S sensei left for the eight-dan examination. In the keiko on 24th, I realized that I'm short of stamina. After the keiko, I was puffing and panting, while W san looked as if nothing happened. I can remember that I felt the similar condition when I did keiko with H sensie, who also has amazing stamina for his age. So, I've decided that I'm going to have necessary exercises to improve my stamina.



Wさんにおかれましては、こんな厳しい数値の中ですが、何としても合格してほしいものです。

I'm looking forward to hearing a good news from W san, although the recent condition of the examination is formidable.

Dear Mr. M,
I see that you have included english translation for your blog now.. Thank you so much, now I can read your messages and journals...
I have read the passing people for 8th Dan testing yesterday... The passing rate, as always is very slim...
Perhaps Mr. H and Mr. S will have better luck next time.
As for stamina, some of us also have that problem... We try to support it by going exercise/gym about 2 times per week for running or other exercises, but please... don't tell Mr. M, he doesn't like Kendoka going to the gym I think...
