Debana Men (Kendo techniques)

#kendo #剣道
This video is about helping us understand the importance of Maai and anticipation of distance at the moment of executing Debana Men.
It is a very basic kendo concept but when done properly you will get a big improvement in your kendo.
this concept you could apply to any other kendo drill and exercise with a partner.

Simple kendo advise yet powerful

"more keiko" I guess lol.

Thanks for another quick but informative video. I'll take this into the dojo and try this with debana kote. You deserve more subs man. Keep the videos coming.

[@Kendotips]

Thank you. I appreciate the support! I hope to make better videos to get those subs!!!

I think you nailed that part with the "predict where the enemy is gonna be". That's key for all things oji waza and ai-men etc., also learning in kihon to barely hit with the tip of the shinai is also good advice imo, since combat will shorten distances anyways. True debana is something that's still a mystery to me. I'll try to explain. I can land hits on the kote that look like debana, but are more like a product of chance and luck. I've received some true debana kote where I felt like my aite was completely in control of the timing and landed that kote so super easy. Mine are more like: "I'll pile up lots of pressure and then, while inviting men, just hit kote, maybe my movement will trigger his men as planned" - if it works out, great! But it still feels like the little brother/watered down version of whats happening with people who really know how to do debana. It has something magical and mysterious to it. Like some Jedi power. There is a sensei in Germany, she is so good at this, it's frightening. In waza training, I tried everything I could to cleanly hit her men. But every single time, she got a very relaxed kote first. It was baffling. I want that :)

I think you are into something. And by the way thank you for taking the time with your comment. I learn so much from these. Yesterday I was talking LG with a sensei friend of mine and the topic of creating the correct pressure to trigger an attack is a hard skill to learn but the bridge to it is for sure getting the person to move first. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I think we are on the right path with that train of thought and experience is what will unravel that misters you are talking about! (Hopefully for you and me 🤣)
