Guidelines for Kendo Shiai and Shinpan

Why did you have someone narrate this that cannot pronounce the terms properly? It is hard to watch when one cringes at the mispronunciation. Thank you for sharing this video.

If you think this is bad, the parts edited out are even worse. This was produced by the All Japan Kendo Federation many years ago. When it was first released, I shared comments similar to yours with an AJKF officer. In typical Japanese fashion, the response I got was a sucking of air through the teeth, a tilt of the head, a sigh, and a single word - muzukashī. Bottom line, low budget and a target audience that was a secondary thought. At the time, however, it was the first resource of its kind on the subject. It is better than nothing, but sad that there have been no efforts to advance it, or produce anything else like it.

We can actually make a better overdub using subtitles and AI voice tools to have perfect intonation and pronunciation. The video quality is dogshit though, even AI upscalers will fail.
