東京・関東選抜対抗柔道大会 Tokyo-Kanto Inter-selection Judo Tournament

2月12日（日）、第12回東京・関東選抜対抗柔道大会が講道館6階学校道場で開催されました。

On Sunday, February 12, the 12th Tokyo-Kanto Inter-Selection Judo Tournament was held at the Kodokan 6th Floor School Dojo.

関東そして東京の六段以上の指導者３８名が選抜され、覇を競い合う団体戦。

Thirty-eight instructors of 6-dan and above from Kanto and Tokyo were selected to compete for supremacy in the team competition.

昨年、一昨年とコロナ禍で中止となり開催は3年ぶり。

It was the first time in three years since the tournament was canceled due to the Corona disaster last year and the year before.

試合は一試合場で東京・関東各県の柔道連盟会長他役員幹部の先生方が見守られる中、張り詰めた雰囲気で戦います。

The matches are held in a single arena in a tense atmosphere under the watchful eyes of the judo federation presidents and other executive officials from Tokyo and Kanto prefectures.

14時過ぎ開会式が終わり試合開始されました。

After the opening ceremony at 2:00 p.m., the matches began.

東京、関東の選抜メンバーが一進一退の緊張感のある攻防が繰り広げられました。

The selected members from Tokyo and Kanto went back and forth, and a tense battle ensued.

私は関東軍が２勝４敗２分と負け越す中、９試合目に出場。

I participated in the 9th game as the Kanto team was losing 2-4-2.

試合では対戦相手の巧みな組み手でなかなか優位になれず1分以上経過。

In the match, I was unable to gain an advantage due to my opponent's skillful kumite techniques, and more than one minute had passed.

１分半が過ぎ奥襟を掴めたところ、すかさず施した内股に相手は横転し「技有」。

After a minute and a half had passed, I was able to grab the back collar, and immediately applied an Uchimata, which caused my opponent to roll over and score a "Waza-Ari".

その後も両者激しい攻防が続いたがタイムアップ。

Both fighters continued to engage in fierce exchanges, but time ran out.

辛くも「優勢勝」出来ました。

The time was up, and I was able to win the match by Yusei-Gachi.

団体としては関東１８勝、東京９勝と関東軍がタブルスコアで勝利の雄叫びをあげました‼️

As a team, Kanto won 18 matches and Tokyo won 9.

初出場の感想は☝️

As a first-time entrant, I'd like to share my thoughts on

錚々たる猛者達が集まる凄い大会だと言う事。

It is a great tournament where eminent and fierce players gather.

I was very impressed with the participants, including Kuriyama Sensei and Naito Sensei, who are members of the Yokohama Saturday Judo-Club .

地元埼玉から私の大好きな大先輩茂木先生、学生の頃からお世話になっている小池先生。

Mogi Sensei, my favorite senior judo instructor from my hometown in Saitama, and Koike Sensei, who has been my friend and mentor since I was a student.

こんなに多くの仲間達が選抜され、一緒に大会に出場し、元気な姿を見せる事が出来たのは私にとっても大変貴重な経験が出来ました。

It was a very valuable experience for me to see so many of my friends selected to participate in the tournament together and to be able to show their energy.

試合の勝敗も大事かもしれません。

Winning or losing a match may be important.

でも、同じ大会に参加し、元気に再会しお互いの近況を話し合い、笑って過ごせるこんな素晴らしいひととき。

But it was such a wonderful time for us to participate in the same tournament, to meet again in good spirits, to discuss each other's current status, and to laugh and spend time together.

また来年もまた、この大会に出場したいと思いました。

I wanted to compete in this tournament again next year.
