Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a kendo training device that enables beginners who have just started learning kendo to learn the correct up and down swings, which is one of the basic movements, more accurately and efficiently in a short period of time. This provides a kendo training device with a simple configuration.

As is well known, one of the basic movements of Kendo is to master the up-and-down swing in which the tip of the sword passes through the center of the body, or the midline, and swings the Shinai in a larger circle. If you put too much pressure on your hands and shoulders when swinging up and down, you will not be able to swing it straight down.
This may cause disadvantages such as power loss. However, this up-and-down swing is one of the basic movements of Kendo, and unless you learn it accurately, you will not be able to learn more advanced techniques.

The present invention was created in view of this point of view, and is a training device that allows beginners to learn vertical swing more accurately and in a short period of time, and will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numerals 1 and 1 are pillars erected at one end of a rectangular substrate 2 in plan view, and the base ends 3 of two parallel guide rods 3, 3 are attached to the upper end of the pillar.
A is supported in a cantilevered manner. The specific shape of the guide rods 3, 3 has a predetermined width and is parallel when viewed from the plane, and is curved as shown in the first diagram when viewed from the side. The bamboo sword 4 is configured so that the bamboo sword 4 moves vertically in an arc between the guide rods 3, 3. Further, it is desirable that the tips of the guide rods 3, 3 are expanded outward as shown in the figure.

Further, it is preferable that the guide rods 3, 3 be configured so that their heights can be arbitrarily adjusted so that they can be attached to the supports 1, 1. For example, in the case shown in the figure, the supports 1, 1 are formed of pipe members, the base ends 3a of the guide rods 3, 3 are inserted into the upper ends of the pipe members to a desired length, tightened with the tightening screws 6, and the guide rods are fixed at that position. 3 and 3 are fixed. In addition, in the illustrated example, the guide rods 3, 3 are divided into two parts, left and right, and correspondingly, the pillars 1, 1 are also divided into two parts.
For example, the left and right guide rods 3 and 3 are installed vertically.
By bending and connecting the base end portions 3a of the , one cotton strip is made to protrude from the bent portion in the shape of a fork handle, and this is inserted and supported at the upper end of the support column 1.
Only one pillar 1 is required, which is economical.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, the proximal ends of the columns 1, 1 may be fixed to the base 7, and may be fixed to a predetermined floor surface etc. with pins 8, 8, etc.

The rectangular base plate 2 has parallel guides 11, 12 with approximately the same width as the width of the feet so that both feet 9, 10 of the practitioner 5 can be fitted in the longitudinal direction of the upper surface of the rectangular base plate 2.
is formed by three parallel protrusions 13, 14, and 15. Although the configuration of the parallel guides 11 and 12 is not limited to this example, the guides 11 and 12 have an effect that allows the user to practice footwork and learn to keep the left and right feet parallel at all times. has.

If the present invention has the above structure, the vertical movement of the shinai 4 will be restricted between the guide rods 3 and 3, and the tip of the sword will inevitably draw a correct trajectory passing through the midline. By repeating this up-and-down swing, the practitioner 5 has the advantage of being able to learn the correct up-and-down swing accurately and in a short period of time.

Furthermore, by making the height of the guide rods 3, 3 freely adjustable, it can be used by a wide range of people from children to adults. Moreover, the present invention has the advantage that the substrate 2
, facing parallel guides 11 and 12 extending in parallel with the same width as the width of the feet 9 and 10 of the practitioner 5,
Since the guide rods 3, 3 are arranged above,
The distance between the guide rods 3, 3 can be maintained at the same width as the foot width, and the tip of the sword can be prevented from hitting this.

Furthermore, if the structure is simple, it is easy to handle and can be provided at low cost.
