The holidays are over and Kendo is started with a couple of demonstrations: the first in Carmarthenshire and the second at Alba. demonstration of Martial Arts in Carmarthen participated for Kendo, a dozen adults and seven or eight children. In addition to the demonstration of Kendo there 'was also to Jodo. Unfortunately I could not take pictures of Carmarthen, and thanks the participation of my wife, we managed to do some 'photos of the demonstration of Alba. The demonstration took place in Alba "Sport in Piazza", a sports event where the most diverse disciplines play in the streets and anyone who wants to try a workout can do it. Clearly the focus of the event are the children. We had Sasha as the main figures, the son of Walter, and Lawrence, my son. The two small kendoka were essential to the success of the event. We made two small demonstrations in the morning at a 11 and an afternoon at 16.30. The demonstration was essentially a small workout of thirty minutes, with heating, basic techniques and a small fight with Walter. The proof of the morning was preceded by a demonstration of Tameshigiri made by Michael, while in the afternoon, kendo was preceded by a brief demonstration of Iaido, and Tameshigiri. After each demonstration, we had a small group of brave children who have tried to do a bit of kendo. As you will see from the series of photographs that follow, there was some movement.
This year we arrived on the eve of summer vacation and Alba 4 July took place the last collegiate training for Kendo and Iaido All gyms affiliated Shubukan. To combine business with pleasure pleasure to training was conducted over a super grigliatona. Our meeting point was the Alba 'Alba Village where we spent a couple of days very pleasant thanks to the fantastic work of Michele Gravina and all staff of the camp / hotel. The training was held at the gymnasium of Alba Rodari Saturday, July 4 in the morning. We started with Iaido and the lesson was given by Mario Menegatti. (VI Dan) It was pretty hot but this did not stop Mario to make a wonderful lesson focuses on some key points of the greeting and a careful dissection Mae. By Iaido recently described the points from the lesson of Mario I will be extremely helpful to improve my lai. For example, the fact that during the greeting back should remain perfectly straight and aligned with the head completely changes your posture and makes greeting decidedly martial. I also found very useful suggestion of dragging their feet on enlargement during the first phase of extraction of the sword of Mae, in fact the body is stabilized and nukitsuke improved. Very interesting also underlining that the nukitsuke Mae is a shot of breaking and then the cut should not be too large. We were given many ideas to be explored after the summer holidays. Lorenzo, my son, has documented some points of the lesson that Mario is summarized in the video below. Since my son, he has focused his attention on me immortalizing a nice series of errors you have to 'fix, not the least of his back contracted during kiritsuke.
could not miss the final photo of the participants. after began training of Kendo. The training was directed by Walter Pomero (VII Dan). We started with a series of basic techniques followed by Kion. This whole first part was done without wearing the least, it was very hot. Simon and I have done this part of training in our respective sons, Lorenzo (11 years) and Sasha (6 years). I always find it very nice to share with my son these pleasant moments. Then we put the men and made gigeiko free. The time was limited and the heat being very high now noon and I managed to make only two brief gigeiko with my son and Bruschieri. Have thus remained the only Dan grades from the fourth up and did the gigeiko which is summarized in the video below.
Again, the training could not be considered complete without the final photo of the group. Finally, after a well deserved shower we went to lunch. And then there was the meeting Shubukan. Very informal and humid climate. At night, super-grigliatona, cooked by the father of Walter assisted by one of kendo in Voghera, very careful evaluation of the degree of cooking (and tasting the many rivers of beer). The logistics of Michele Gravina was absolutely impeccable. Unfortunately no photos of this end of the day being too busy to enjoy it.
This is my second time Sportilia. Last year I was alone to do Iaido and this year we were a bunch of Shubukan. I must admit that last year in grades 1 Kyu 2 Dan were followed better. In fact, a Japanese master who had followed him from taking the exam dan II, while a seventh dan English followed those who were taking the exam from the first. This year, only one Japanese teacher was following those who were taking the exam from first to third dan and none of the Japanese masters oversaw the training free, whereas last year at least one of the masters and the Japanese English teacher will take part in free training. Below the Enbu Yamazaki sensei (8 Dan).
Unfortunately, not all tests have been successful. Here there 'video summary of the Imperial examinations (III Dan), Rizzo (II Dan) and I (II Dan) who passed the exam.
Day took place May 17 and Junior Championships Kyu Kendo. participated in the competition Kyu Lamparelli for Shubukan, while that of junior Giacheddu Shisei.

I had the pleasure of being one of motodachi involved in the trial of the children was really a great experience. The weather was fantastic, here is a brief video summary of their evidence.

Shubukan 1 unfortunately came out in the pool. Shubukan 2 Shisei and have instead passed the first round of direct selection after the pool and Shubukan 3 came out in the quarter-finals. Overall, I think, for all participants, it was a beautiful day with good fellowship among members of the four teams.
In the last election campaign the issue of security of citizens has played an important role in the electoral and political destiny of our country. Systematically in all political debates illegal immigration has been compared to the safety citizens, going to ride the el fears' anguish of the people, fueled by persistent reports of crime. The policy has always fed the fears and expectations of a people. Addesso Unfortunately, after repeated failures of bipartisan politics and the difficulties of a capitalist economy without rules, expectations have collapsed, there is nothing left to survive with the defense of our land against the "barbarians" modern, through policy initiatives facade and propaganda, totally ineffective and not coords with European and international community. To address a problem so important and complex as migration is not allowed, we need a rational policy and common sense, no advertising or election, trying to get to the roots of the problem. Immigration is a social phenomenon that has always existed, and involved different peoples throughout history. A people migrate to survive, is a natural act and a human instinct. In some parts of the world, studded with insufficient food and water, from public health emergencies, poverty and civil and ethnic conflicts continue, there is no chance to live, you can only escape in any way or by any type of vehicle in the hope arriving in the West, the promised land. A coordinated international policy, strong and united in plans and programs of foreign policy seriously, not just colonialism and exploitation and resources of others, trying to help and support economic growth, social and cultural populations in difficulty, represents a point in the fight imprenscindibile all'immmigrazione illegal. The fight against criminal organizations that are capitalizing on the inhumane transport of people desperate and sometimes fatal, is another cornerstone of a European and international policy agenda. Added to this are policies of integration and legalization of migrants in our territories in a new model of multi-ethnic society, going to isolate the phenomena of violence and organized crime, with all our strength, resources and legislation, slim and easy to applied in the constant defense of the law. We do not need other laws, for more unconstitutional, which eventually may not even be applied in practice and in everyday life due to lack of resources, people and vehicles. We must put a stop to false ideologies end in themselves, which serve only self-preservation of a political class in eternal election campaign and presenteeism, which is empowered by a clerical journalism, which continues to ignore its responsibility in the deterioration of social, ethical and cultural life of our country .

The game was fun, As there was never a feeling that one of the teams was too much stronger than the other. At the end of Ostra Vetere won thanks to the commendable performance of its opposite that for 5 set has argued in a decisive way to its height and its elevation resulting in making full use of his skills as a striker both in first, second line is making it almost impossible to counter. Volley for the Arch, the excellent performance of Marianna Rossetti.
"Coach Mazzoli is pleased with the performance of his girls?"
"You can not be satisfied when you lose to a team level on points with yours. It remains a bit of a bitter taste for not having closed to a tie break which could enable us to overcome the AVIS in the standings. Let's say though that there are things that can be hoped for a nice end of the season, my girls now do a 6 - ".
