In the dojo now



A martial art from the Rising Sun
Before you do it, it sounds like fun
You're in the dojo now
Oh, oh, you're in the dojo now

Now you remember what the chairman said
Just some suburi on a fictitious head
You're in the dojo now
Oh, oh, you're in the dojo now

You’ll be the hero of the shiai-jo
If only you could hit some do
You're in the dojo now
Oh, oh, you're in the dojo now

Polite bows before the “hajime!”
When your true weakness shows there’s just one way
You're in the shiai-jo now
Oh, oh, you're in the shiai-jo now

Men ippon scored in only one go
It hurts a lot when you are toe on toe
If you want to survive you better practice do
You're in the shai-jo now
Oh, oh, you're in the shiai-jo now

Kiai ring out in the dead of night
The sensei calls (stand up and fight)
You're in the dojo now
Oh, oh, you're in the dojo now

You've got your training schedule
Be it dark or light
You practice footwork
But it don't seem right
You're in the dojo now
Oh, oh, you're in the dojo now
You're in the dojo now
Oh, oh, you're in the dojo now

After 1000 haya-suburi there’s only sweat I see
Are kata illusion or reality?
You're in the dojo now
Oh, oh, you're in the dojo now
You're in the dojo now
Oh, oh, you're in the dojo now

  2. Tehehe.

    Humidity is rising - Barometer's getting low
    According to all sources, Kendo Linz is the place to go
    Cause on mondays, amongst other days
    Just about half to ten
    On mondays, in jigeiko
    It's gonna start raining men.

    It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
    I'm gonna stay in, to practice hard and get
    An absolutely perfect cut!
    It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
    It's Raining Men! Every Specimen!
    Hard, fast, correct and keen
    Rough and tough and strong and mean

    ;)

    Risin up
    again in dojo
    do my time take my chances
    go the right distance still on my feet
    just a kendoka and his will to survive
    so many times the ippons are too fast
    kendokas trade passion for glory
    don't lose your ippons on the dreams of the past
    you must fight just to keep them alive

    It's the passion for kendo
    its the cream of the fight
    risin up to the challenge of our rivals
    and the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
    and he´s watching us all with the eye of the kendoka

    men to men
    out in the heat
    hanging tough
    stayin hungry
    the stack the odds still we take to the street
    for the ippon with the skill to survive...

    It's the passion for kendo
    its the cream of the fight
    risin up to the challenge of our rivals
    and the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
    and he's watching us all with the eye of the kendoka

    Risin up
    straight to the top
    had the guts got the glory
    goin right distance now I'm not gonna stop
    just a kendoka and his will to score

    It's the passion for kendo
    its the cream of the fight
    risin up to the challenge of our rivals
    and the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
    and he's watching us all with the eye of the kendoka

    The passion for kendo......
    The passion for kendo......
    The passion for kendo......
