108th Kyoto Taikai: Toda Vs. Kondo

[@KendoGuide]

Awesome! Thank you for letting the world know kendo is sooooooo fun!

[@emilioporrasvergara2158]

I've had the chance to have keiko with him as well, His tenouchi is really something incredible.

[@15632ful]

Thank you for uploading Bennett sensei!

[@KendoWorld]

Haha, I think in retaliation to Toda's nito (not koryu, just uncommon), Kondo decided to keep it real.

[@Vergil06]

soete tsuki ?

[@Efunderburk]

I never knew you could use hasso no kamae outside of kata before this video

[@funkywildboar]

merveilleux ! quelle agressivités sur la position avancée du bras gauche !

[@anyaku004]

これは面白い。滅多に見られるものじゃない。

[@thanhminh238]

1:55 on the other side there was an amazing katsugi kote 🤣🤣

[@NagoyaJoe2002]

I had keiko with Kondo-sensei the other day...great stuff!

[@Alhok]

Very Beautiful

[@KendoWorld]

Perhaps Kondo sensei has done some jukendo before ? Cool stuff though.

[@masterlesstheband]

Though I'm only Yondan Kendo and a novice at Iai so please take my opinion with a pinch of salt so to speak ;)

[@fengxuezhou]

I think it is from koryu instead of jukendo

[@zuan61]

Great respect for the last living Samurai ... Toda sensei (nito ryu) vs. Kondo sensei, intense thrills!

[@19810904masahiro]

銃剣の様な突き技が披露されていたが、居合道制定技にもある『添え手突き』みたいだった。 剣居一致ということでの苦肉の策にも見てとれるが、やはり、全剣連の定めるところでは、刃部を手にしての技はよくないだろうな。

[@fengxuezhou]

it is brilliant

[@leperenoel666]

Really uncommon geiko

[@roguechest743]

if u close your eyes then they sound like TABS characters

[@MrTvolaCZ]

jukendo style tsuki :D Nice match!

[@jeanhernandez5258]

im really new to kendo, can somebody tell me if the video has been mirrored or Kondo sensei is using his left foot forward?

[@thiagout]

He is, indeed. Take a look at the very beggining, as he assumes Hasso no Kamae the left foot goes forward, just like in Hidari Jodan. Six months after your comment, so if you haven't already, you will use these kamae in kendo kata. Cheers!

[@jeanhernandez5258]

@@thiagout thanks for the reply, for some reason youtube just notified me about it today.... due to pandemic and me getting sick during winter, I haven't much dojo practice during this time so I haven't used any other kamae than chudan, I know of Jodan and hasso because I did 2 years of iaido but i was under the impression that in kendo you would always have your left foot back, thanks for the reply

[@abunigel13]

can anyone tell if he's grasping his shinai like in a jukendo tsuki or if his left hand is on the 'blunt' side of the shinai guiding it, as one might with a blade?

[@masterlesstheband]

I know just what you mean. I interpreted this as being soete tsuki like in Seitei Iai Kata 9.

[@masterlesstheband]

Since he's doing Kendo and applying principles of the sword I'd assume it that as opposed to the jukendo variation of the technique. Hard to see though.

[@tatsu403]

竹刀を銃剣の如くかかえてもいいのだろうか、刃の部分を握ることになる。八段なら何をしても許されるのか。

[@katcccchan8442]

八相の構え？

[@dododonki]

八相の構え、左小手を晒すから分が悪い構えかな、と思うんですが、どうなのでしょうか……
