10th Belgrade Open Kendo Championship (October, 2015) Are you planning to go?

1:48 listen very carefully as he raises the bokken to his ears

7:14 tsuki ! They also got a bandage in left foot, gonna put on too, seiza hurts badly, how long until you get use to this ?

finaly I found the style I have been looking for

I find there screaming to actually be a disadvantage, it get them pump and also uses up there strength. Swordsmanship is not just a body of steel but a mind of steel, becoming excited create a unstable mind set and thus u weaken yourself to a cold calculated attack.

Respect.

When red stabbed it hit the ground after. Is that allowed?

Årets höjdpunkt. Kanonkul. Många fina gamla moppar,och härligt sensommarväder. Tack för ett lyckat evenemang, och filmen är inte dålig den heller. Hoppas vi ses i mopperöken även nästa år.

I think it also depends upon how strict shimpan are. Where I live now (not where I learnt kendo) they basically award anything that goes vaguely near the target area, and don't pay any attention to ki ken tai no ichi. Posture, hasuji (blade angle), zanshin, etc. are not important. There's no notion of cutting with a sword. It's a stick you hit with. So, of course many people do ridiculous things. Yet they are rewarded for them. It's kind of hard to argue with people when they're "winning".

There are tons of Japanese guys under thirty who have sport kendo, but by their late thirties especially, they almost all have beautiful kendo. There could be several explanations. I think it's just that sport kendo doesn't work in the long run. I'm not that far off forty myself and the modicum of form that I have is all that stops me from completely sucking against my juniors. My body is not what it once was. Those guys in their 30s, 40s, etc. are also often really good at shiai too.

Couldn't agree more... regardless of age the follow through is shocking.... not proper Kendo

que coordinacion

Japan came in First and Italy 2nd. Scores are on WKF's website

hi, does anyone know wha t was the final score, who won, who came 2nd, and who came 3rd?

im in japan where is this place

The girl who is red? No, her footwork is terrible! Watch the slow motion replay of her men cut. Total sport kendo. First look at how high she lifts her right foot! Then, the ki ken tai no ichi is way off. The cut and the fumikomi ashi are completely out of sync. Then, the follow through is just awful. She crosses her feet and basically runs through the cut. She can get away with this now because she's young and super fast. Age takes that away though and leaves only one's real kendo.

As a kid, practicing kendo in a cold winter day morning was something I most hated. Stepping in on the freezing cold floor was just like torturing your foot.

In martial arts, (well in anything really), breath control is key. the Kiai helps release energy in your strike. when you kiai, you're also using your abdominals, adding to the acceleration of moving forward. also, there is less pressure against the folding of your body when moving forward because there is less air in your lungs. finally, there is the psychological aspect from the kiai. that's vaguely the science of it.

it's because of the timing, you kiai, hit and stomp/step of the foot must be one. So your strike is most efficient, you attack without holding back.

Ohh ffs i was not on training that day :/

sus trajes se ven tan maquiavelicos ._. parecen mortiifagos del continiente asiatico XD

could anyone tell me why they make the litle hops when they hit someone

if you close your eyes at 3:18 it sounds like a surprise party :D

Wrong - atleast partially. Kiai, the shout, is to empower your strike by releasing your spirit. To shout the part where you are striking is merely something used for practice and a habbit of certain dojo's. You often hear more veteran kendo practicioneers shouting whatever it is they feel like.

the scream is called KIAI ... It's your KI (energy) and yes It's part of kendo. not optional

I'm no Kendo professional, but Google goes a long way. They shout because the rules say you must shout where your strike is aimed at. It should also affect your performance through controlled breathing. If you're going to exhale strongly during the strike, you might as well shout while you're at it.

Fin produktion som visar ett fint mästerskap!
