Thank you very much for the feedback and advice! A lot to work on still!

[@massimilianotucci7621]

Thank you for your feedback and advice! I really appreciated it, and I feel much more motivated now Apart from my individual weaknesses, I think that the considerations about zanshin probably deserve a broader discussion within teaching methods. P.S. Amazing kendo video 😉

Thanks a lot for the video, very helpful indeed. Could you please show a good example of Godan level Kendo, maybe even a passed grading that really makes it visible what makes or breakes it at that level? Some time ago you reviewed a 4th Dan video which perfectly showed the difference between the guy who passed and two other candidates who didn't. Something along those lines would be perfect. EDIT: Nevermind! You did just that :) thanks a lot!

The second 3rd Dan kendo Shiai Do analysis is really helpful for us Kyu graders, as often I don’t understand, the slow mo was really helpful too. Plus the Kyu grader before is better than me, but really good as I now understand more about the timing for fumikomi- thanks

I think the shinsa for the Italian 5dan candidate can be summarized this way: The candidate did not attempt to establish communication with his opponent. Without communication, the candidate was striking at his own timing. Although the strikes themselves were good, these strikes did not demonstrate the quality the judges were looking for at this level. That is, the candidate should communicate with the opponent, and after overcoming the opponent, strikes. In another word, 3dan and below: a candidate can hit and win; 4dan and above, a candidate must win then hit.

Oh nice! I saw myself in the Thumbnail! 😂😎 I lifted my hands so much during this match. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Great kendo video thanks

[@QuantumKenkaku]

Hi Fisher sensei, thank you for reviewing my shiai. I could feel that my men strikes were weak, so I was hesitant to initiate them. Thank you for pointing out the mechanics of it so I can improve! The courts were the white lines, I think the perspective makes it look bigger in the first video

[@luisabreu4396]

Thank you 👍👍!!

"Your opponent is doing nito." Puts hand on face. Made me laugh.

[@JohnDoe-ou8jp]

Hi sensei, thanks for another great video! This week I wanted to ask a question about switching stances mid fight. Would it be hansoku for a fighter to switch from seigan/chudan to jodan in the middle of a shiai? Is this frowned upon/considered bad etiquette towards your opponent? On the flipside, would it be a good way to change the flow of the fight?

I will answer this in Kendo Rant!
