i didnt expect kendo to be be dis cool ngl

Amazing. A great example of true spirit. All can learn from this.

framerate so slowwwwww

This is good and beautiful swordsmanship. Or should I perhaps say great war skills....

For those of you who are wondering why the jodan got an ippon is because he did a form of katsugi waza and the opponent's kisen was already very dead when the jodan was going in for a strike.

Imperial Palace Guard Kendo, not normal Kendo. Don't do this at home guys.

Imperial guards still utilise older style of kendo hence why they are super aggressive and rough. They barely pass by the kendo associations rules.

Oo~~ great~~

👍👍🙇🏽!!

フランスのナカバヤシさんの胴惜しかった！！少し浅かったね。2024年の世界大会出てほしいな。 高鍋さんの突き美しい👏👏

😂 when you go to a single player tournament. but realize its actually a team tournament and you are left alone to fight all by yourself😂

What bad judging. Not close, judges assumed.

Why white didn't get point for Men?

They’re really touching tips there for a moment…

To the questions in video description: When someone falls to the ground, there is a general "one breath rule". The shimpans should wait for roughly the time of one breath before stopping the match, and a potential ippon scored in that time is valid. There is the "one push" rule. Players are allowed to take one step and push their opponents once at a time, and if that throws them out of bounds, that's gives them the hansoku. Continuosly pushing the opponent out of the shiaijo would be hansoku worthy for the one doing the pushing. But here, enough distance has been established after the first push that the second one could count as a separate valid "one push".

What is the names of this senshu?

Супер

4:46 had no zanchin, why reward a point?

Bullshit

yo how tf did that kote score ?

2cえ？

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGayqn6gjLOml7c

is this only police tournament or it was between imperial guards vs. police?

That's more like it

вот это скорость 👍 とても早い 👍

debana kote?

black bogu? muy bueno

Can someone tell me why the referees didnt count the Do strike as ippon?

Nishimura Hidehisa at the beginning?? :)

Как же это скучно, боже

) смотрим сразу конец видео

how its so impressive he can hold the long shinai at the end of the grip usually thats very tiring and can get really painful in a long time and its usually more heavy. i recommend him to use the long shinai at the start of the grip because nitoryu is very offensive

wasnt kote...hit upperarm

there is practicality to this brutality, these are law enforcement, not students

Just a bully. There's always someone bigger. This just makes me want to see someone bigger than Red shove him around and knock him down. This is a great example of how winning isn't everything.

3:14 haha

Fucking cardioo...

The rule is lie

Is IttoNi no Nitoryu

awesome. too bad the kote point of impact was out by a mile, almost hit the shoulder

0:39 almost castrates opponent with a totally pointless strike 1:56 "did you whine enough darling? Can we go on now? thanks"

so

it's very comical

I just came across this video. Several years later, but what I see in the match is not the civilian Kendo so much as a legacy Kendo. Understanding it in the context of who the participants are and the purpose for which they train, it makes all the sense in the world that so many commenters are shocked by the violence of actions and that's okay because you're civilians who don't have to use your Kendo in any war-like context, but try not to judge the participants too harshly. They are practicing legitimate Kendo. It's just not the Kendo you are familiar with. I went and watched a high end three-gun shooting competition once and I was kind of pissed off to hear the inexperienced, unknowing civilian spectators judge the "practical" applicability of the techniques and equipment some of the contestants employed, as if to say this shooting sport was somehow a direct reflection of the combative techniques and tactics of Soldiers and Marines in war. I'm a Marine. It is not. It is a sport that has roots in it's past military practitioners, but it's been stripped of the necessary inefficiencies and brutalities of warfare. That's exactly what modern post-war Kendo is. It is directly descendant of the Kendo of the Meiji and earlier era's military techniques and tactics (which truthfully was stripped down and systemized from earlier ryu of Kenjutsu,) but it is stripped of the inefficiency and brutality of warfare that is not beneficial to the civilian practitioner who's goal should always be on self improvement through the way of the sword. The Three-gun shooter seeks greater accuracy, faster times and self development through the way of the gun. The Samurai of old and the modern Soldier and Marine seek to survive long enough to overcome, suppress, destroy the will of their enemy or to destroy the enemy outright so they are no longer a threat, or to put it in the words of Gen. Patton, "We're gonna murder those lousy Hun bastards and use their living guts to grease the treads of our tanks!" That sounds awful and offensive compared to something like "Choose Glock to win the championships," or "Buy Kendostar because Kendo is life," and Gen Patton was putting it nicely. A little secret, btw: I served on a close quarters battle team and I was as good or better than most of my brothers, but with the equipment and techniques we used back then, I wouldn't be getting any trophies in a modern shooting competition. What those guys can do and the gear they have is incredible, accurate and fast, but at the same time, I'm quite confident I'd kick their ass if it came down to a straight up gun fight 'cause I'm very comfortable with being a brutal, violent, sneaky, cheating bastard to win a fight and my equipment, while inefficient, will last the hash, imperfect conditions of the field year in and year out. They are related activities, but one is an honorable activity anyone can do and if they're very serious about their practice and study, they can attain the self-improvement they seek through the way of the sword or the way of the gun as they talk about "honor" and "warrior spirit." (Those are good things to focus on, imho, if not a little romanticized.) The other is a brutal violent activity that few, (thank Buddha, God and Miles Davis,) will ever know while we talk about getting home alive and all those things we didn't realize were most important. I respect the hell out of modern kendoists and modern shootists, so try not to presume to judge swordsmen and gunfighters or offend us by pretending your romanticized idea of what we should be is actually what we should be. The imperial guard isn't doing Kendo wrong. He isn't cheating. Nor is it correct to say modern Kendo is weak or "American" Kendo is pussified. (Really? That's the best you got?) Any activity which people participate in which improves themselves, focuses themselves on their community and teaches honesty and hard work is extremely valuable and honorable, especially in these times of political, racial and personal disjointedness. Don't put them down either! Cheer them on! Encourage them! Better yet, join them! What they're doing can make the world better, even if only in a small way. Talking shit about what you clearly don't know or understand is neither Kendo, nor the real way of the warrior. And there's enough fakery and mistruth running around these days, don't you think? Cool video. Interesting comments. Let's do better in the future.

that vs HEMA throw

So amazing

Why are the courts so small?

Японец сплошной восторг.

i think the last men is ippon obviously. white couldn't protect perfectly. red's men hit right side of whites face.

respect for one of the kendo fighter when he/she dropped the kata they picked it up, i m in love
