Thanks, will try to post process it a bit more and re-post. :)

+sewagedweller There are many elements to fighting with a sword. If you are thinking of techniques for combat- there are much more efficient styles. However, as swords in general have little to no use in this context today, what kendo can aid you with much better than most other sports- is spirit of fighting. This is why personaly I think "Dojo" oriented practice > "Shiai" driven kendo Kendo

+sewagedweller another one that believe to know how is a real sword fight. so tell me wich is the way to fight with sword? i am sure you did a lot of sword fight in 2015. man kendo is the art of use a sward if you want see kids that hurt each others with sticks we are not talkig the same language.

+Simone Durante you are pretty stupid , you know that , right ? im not saying this as an argument , im saying it because you are pulling stupid things out of your arse. Kendo is a sport where things like thrusting are illegal because of the safety concerns , they lack majority of techniques of a traditional sword styles because those techniques are useless in competition . They dont do proper cuts because those dont matter ,etc , etc. It doesnt matter what year it is , there is still sufficient information left about historic martial arts to know what is a good way to use sword , a good technique and what is going to get you killed.

And you are more stupid that me, kendo isn't a sport, soccer is a sport, volleyball is a sport. Kendo is art, and i am sure that you can't defeat a 2 or 3 dan of kendo using all the thrust you want. In every competition there are rules as i said if you want see 2 kids hurt each others with stick stop watching this video. And only to know do you pratice kendo?

+Simone Durante nope you are pretty fucking stupid . Its football , not soccer , you dimwit. Kendo is a sport , because its involves physical competition, under strict rules and guidelines of kendo federation. And that is not a bad thing . Yeah im sure i wont be able to beat kendo dans in kendo , but you know boxer cant beat wrestler in wrestling and wrestler is going to have hard time beating boxer in boxing. Hema for example makes bigger emphasis in their scoring when it comes to defense. Injuries are common in contact sports , even under best regulations , ive got hurt before in bjj or judo. I never said i want to see people to get hurt , again you are fucking idiot for pulling a strawman , i was talking about a realistic approach to a combative sports where bigger emphasis made on proper defense and attacks. I've train little bit in kenjujitsu , but its not my focus.

+Crow Richter Yeah but 10th dan is not

***** You learned wrong kendo

John Smith Kendo, aka the way of the sword exists in a strange space between martial art and school level sport. It's application in real combat is very diverse, however I believe that any tansferable skills from the sport have a potential to be useful in a confrontation.

Kendo can be used in real anime fights

Likes and dislikes do not matter. As long as somebody can learn or enjoy the content - it is worthwhile. =)

+kemposoefi While I think I share your feelings. But,is that even a real word you used?...:)

I suppose it might sound funny to the uninitiated. It's a battle-cry called a Kiai, used to both disrupt your opponent's ki in order to create an opening for a perfect strike and to invigorate your spirit through the attack.
