It's been a long time since I posted but I'm looking for an answer to something I thought would be very easy to answer.

In the Japanese martial art Kendo, how is determined which participant has the rid ribbon and the opponent has the white ribbon. How is the allocation of the ribbon colour decided?

Thanks in advance
Andrew

That should be "red" not "rid".....

1444084 2017-12-27 00:01:00 Looking through Google, it would seem that each player must have both colours in there kit. Maybe the colour per player is selected by the judges as I cannot find any reference as to how the colour is selected. Toss a coin? Or, does it really matter? Bryan (147)
1444085 2017-12-27 01:31:00 Thanks for looking Bryan. I was doing the same search and came to the same conclusion. This is for an app and I don't want to make a mistake where a Kendo enthusiast would roll their eyes at what could be a very simple mistake on my part. andrew93 (249)
1444086 2017-12-27 03:57:00 In a tournament, there are usually three referees (shinpan). Each holds a red flag and a white flag in opposite hands. To signal a point, the shinpan raise the flag corresponding to the color of the ribbon worn by the scoring competitor. Generally, at least two shinpan must agree, for a point to be awarded. The match continues until a pronouncement of the point that has been scored.

Thanks for that, but how is it decided which person has the red ribbon and which has the white?
