[@BokushingusKendoTV]

DoubleVibes Gaming I was very excited to see both of them In the finals. Been wanting to see this match up for a while! Rest of the 3-4 Dan division almost complete I'm editing and ready for upload!

[@ajussiwannabe]

You rarely see both kendokas in a match assuming jodan no kamae...

[@cesarcalderon283]

El espíritu del kendoka blanco es increíble, se siente......no solo ganó con los puntos, en espíritu e intención de ataque siento que fue superior. Gran shiai, muchas gracias por subirlo a KZbin. Saludos desde Perú 👍🏼

相上段で決勝戦とは珍しいですね！

[@mmrxxmmrxx]

本当に珍しいです。いろんな大会見てきましたが相上段自体これしか見たことありません

I'm genuinely confused what that screaming is

[@BokushingusKendoTV]

Colin White hi. The screaming is called, Kiai! It’s a part of your attack and required in order to score a point. kiai is also projection of spirit!

[@colinwhite6879]

Bokushingu's Kendo TV Right I get I meant inbetween strikes, is it like a psyche yourself up for the next attack kind of thing? Will you lose points for not yelling between?

[@BokushingusKendoTV]

Colin White you won’t lose points. Kiai in between strikes/attacks is kind of hard to explain. I have watched videos of myself I didn’t realized I had kiai a lot in between attacks. Kiai is spirit. Not really psych yourself up, but more a projection of your spirit(nothing mystical but attitude and enthusiasm during a match). It’s very difficult to explain. But I guess it is a part of many martial arts.

[@colinwhite6879]

Bokushingu's Kendo TV Very interesting

[@BokushingusKendoTV]

As you watch, you can tell these two competitors have a lot of Spirit! It’s in every bit of them... even when they are standing still.

I dont get it

[@thenipplerider4323]

Michael’s stepping backwards as he assume the stance was a sign

[@BokushingusKendoTV]

Is Michael still practicing? Was an excellent match. I actually just came back.

[@thenipplerider4323]

@@BokushingusKendoTV I was talking about his feet when going into jodan. He stepped back with his right foot, instead of forward with the left, which looked rather like withdrawal, instead of going forward to engage (refer to kata). The pressure from both sides was massive though

[@BokushingusKendoTV]

@@thenipplerider4323 i know what you were talking about. I have been doing Jodan no kamae for 8 years. I have also keiko with both Michael and Jeff. Im not sure if you have played against Jeff Sensei, but his seme is very strong. His footwork is very smooth and i have witnessed him back people up to the line. Btw, chudan should not step back either.

[@scottporter4524]

I have no idea what's going on but it's hilarious with the high pitched banshee screams.

[@BokushingusKendoTV]

It’s called Kendo. The screams are called Kiai! It is required to score a point!

[@scottporter4524]

@@BokushingusKendoTV Thanks for the info, very interesting!!

[@ambientsoda106]

These stances seem ridiculous...your leaving yourself open to being stabbed or cut...I don't understand Kendo...

[@BokushingusKendoTV]

Exactly! You don’t understand Kendo. However, if you are willing to open your mind, you can find out about it.
