Thank you for finally giving a proper explanation of squeezing water out of a towel!!! I see so many people instructing to wring water, and nobody will listen when I say that I disagree.

I really appreciate your lessons of kendo and iaido. Tenouchi is often misunderstood by many practitioners. Your lessons are easy to understand to catch the points.

Thank you so much! As a beginner I’ve seen many videos on this subject and I think this one is very well explained and demonstrated.

Great detail, thank you. I have very little iaido training, but I had been instructed to wring inward as well. I was reading about using tenouchi for the bo in kobudo, and researching that led me here. This is going to be extremely helpful for both practices.

Dang, I was completely wrong about shibori; thought it was twisting a towel just like you said. That's a load off my mind though. I was getting frustrated trying to find a way to twist my hands like that and actually make a good feeling strike. It's so difficult because it's impossible! Thanks for the proper explanation! Glad I clicked on this.

Thanks for your great video. As a beginner, I have a question about shomen uchi. When swinging down the sword to the last moment and just about to hit the target, besides applying tenouchi, what is the movement on the right wrist? should I shake my right wrist down and up? or shake it down and keep fixed?

Thank you for the video. I’m new to Kendo and I’m trying to learn the proper height when raising the shinai to strike. Some say that it doesn’t matter while others say to point the shinai straight up. Can you please say which is the correct method? Thank you.
@PaulHBShin6 жыл бұрын
The most important thing is to listen to what your sensei tells you. This is actually a very complex question, but the height to which you raise your shinai depends on many different factors, including how experienced you are. What is your rank? That will give me a better sense of how to answer your question.

Thank you for your videos again :-) Quick question please, what is the difference between the thik grip, thin grip and regular grip shinai please, and which one do you recommend the long or short one please? - I practice kenjutsu - Thank you :-) :-) and thank you again for your beautiful videos :-)
@PaulHBShin3 жыл бұрын
This video is specifically about kendo. Probably best to follow the advice of your sensei if you're talking about kenjutsu. In kendo, the thickness of the grip is personal preference. I imagine it's similar for kenjutsu. The length of the tsuka-gawa in kendo shinai is relatively standardized, though there are variations. For example, some jodan kendoka prefer longer tsuka-gawa. Here's a video I made regarding tsuka-length for kendo shinai. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqO8mWitbp6NpdU

@@PaulHBShin This was really a very informative video, and the idea of using the rest to determine the appropriate length, and the square posture hint was very helpful and way enough I believe! But just one final question sir please! Back home - In Egypt - we usually "soak" both the leather "i.e. watch straps" - and all kinds of leather actually - and the stick bamboo, in extra virgin olive oil before use - this tends to enhance the quality, improve flexibility, and increase their life dramatically! do you think it would be a good idea if I soaked the whole shinai in extra virgin olive oil first - we usually do for 2 - 3 days, then let it dry for the same amount of time - or no please?!
@PaulHBShin3 жыл бұрын
@@mosama22 I would not recommend soaking the tsuka leather in olive oil. First of all, it can go rancid. Second, it may affect how grippy the leather is.

We have a marshal art very similar to kendo "Tahtib - تحطيب" it's very common in the middle east in general in different forms, it uses also bamboo sticks - but filled not hollow ones, the one I mentioned in my reply above -, this is a link for kind of bamboo sticks I'm talking about above: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipqbYn2Qlsp2bJI

@@PaulHBShin I'm not familiar with the leather used in Shinai! But with regular leather and if you left it to dry long enough*, I guarantee you it will not, I've been doing this my whole life. - But what do you think if I soaked the whole shinai in extra virgin olive oil** please? * Even after 2 - 3 days the leather will still stains and leave marks, it takes average 4 - 5 weeks to completely dry. Unfortunately it is a very common way to cheat on leather, where some manufacturers buy low grade leather, soak it in extra virgin olive oil, dry it very well, then resell it as a genuine high end one, and believe me a normal person would never be able to tell the difference! ** We always use the one used for food, as this is the most organic / natural one.
