To the top of the world in Tokyo. The future Vol.2 drawn by Karin Miyawaki, a beautiful brain-minded fencer

Although there are 3 kinds of fleurs, Fleure Epe · Sable, why did you choose Furee?

Simply, 15 years ago when I began fencing, there was a thing that there was only Furee. Besides, I think that my characteristics also match the characteristics of Fleure's competition.


What kind of features Miyawaki players think of himself as a feature?

I am a small body, and speed is not so fast either. But, in terms of fencing, whichever of the fastest winner, the tall one wins, the stronger one does not win. Fureure is a competition that attacked first is a competition with attack right, but it is a competition that combines attacks and defenses in a complex way while using that right well. I think that the combination and the overall quality are characteristic.There is no merit of this, and now there is no mortal work, but since they can be done at a certain level, it may be difficult to narrow down the target in terms of opponent. As an opponent, I think that there are some aspects where it is easy to set up countermeasures if there is a feature that is skipped only by one, but in my case I do not think there is such a place.








In today's game format practice, it seemed to have taken quite a lot of points, but are there any current issues and what are you working on now?

Actually, in the last game of the day, I got bothered by bokoboko (laugh). However, recently it has become possible to better control the game. It coincides with what I talked about earlier, but since I do not have this special mortal technique, I'm working on that now. Do you know the technique "fresh"? It is not an attack that takes a step in the attack, but there is a technique that runs as it is and thrusts into the opponent. I thought that I would like to make that good skill. If you are tall, you can not reach the opponent even if you take your foot normally by stepping on your legs, but there is a merit that you can jump into the bosom of a taller opponent by running and attack it I am practicing.


It is an attack I saw a couple of times today. Do you also conscious of the way of running?

Yes, of course, I also consciously run. Now I am not practicing to kick yourself well before kicking out the angle, neither above nor below. Oh, because there are interesting pictures, can I bring them here now? (And say, bring a smartphone from the bag) This is a picture when I poked and got points once, is not it interesting? The form is bad-looking (laugh). It is ideal that your body stretches firmly and pierces, though (laugh).
