Thanks so much

You're welcome!

Hello, This off subject but as a brand new student waiting for my first lesson in Kendo, Dojo closed due to covid, I have a question. I have researched all over the internet trying to find out an answer to this question and that is if I bought a really good Shinai would it be likely to break and or cause someone an injury. This assumes that I would check it weekly and oil it monthly.

[@RespectThePep]

All shinai break down eventually, if you’re striking other shinai/ another kendoka. A more expensive shinai might be more durable or better balanced, but they will all break with heavy use. If you notice any visible cracks in the bamboo of the himo or tearing of the sakigawa, it’s time to replace it. Every few weeks you should inspect it for those faults. A well maintained shinai should last you over a year (assuming you use it regularly)

[@williamjasper6509]

@@RespectThePep Thank you for the information and your really GREAT videos! In a time when here in the US we're locked down again, as a general rule, from any classes and or training. You really help a lot of us to prepare for the future. thank you

[@RespectThePep]

@@williamjasper6509 I’m not the channel owner or affiliated , just a regular kendoka 😅

[@williamjasper6509]

@@RespectThePep I still I appreciate YOUR time and efforts on our behalves

[@KendoGuide]

Thank you for your comment, William Jasper!😀 As @RespectThePep told you, the shinai will eventually break. The most common thing is splinters. Since it is made of bamboo, it will tend to have splinters. You must check your shinai before, during and after your training. ☝🙂 You always need to have a couple of spare shinai. So carry at least 3 good shinai for each training. You need to protect your training parters from a splinter or a broken shinai. I have tons of videos here but also have more info at kendo-guide.com. Hope you get a lot of info you need! 😀👍

[@flyingmonster1765]

are you teaching in United States, sensei?

[@KendoGuide]

Thank you for your comment, Flying Monster!😀 Yes I am! I live in Indiana. I have tons of videos here but also have more info at kendo-guide.com. Hope you get a lot of info you need! 😀👍

[@timbottman3479]

your left foot point toward to 45 degree left side, that is bad stand for pushing out your body to make strike, please make point straight 90 degree. that is why you are wearing the bottom foot protector for your skin. you need to examine yourself before you teach other student. go back to your basic and fix it!!!

[@KendoGuide]

Thanks for your comment, Tim Bottman! 😄 First off, thanks for watching my video carefully. I appreciate that! Now since it is easier for me to explain why people tell you to keep your left foot straight in a video format, I will post one soon. And I am not protecting my foot at all. I am making it slippery so I can accomplish something I want to achieve. I can see that you have knowledge of kendo. And sharing it with others is good. You must present "why" part. You mentioned " that is bad stand for pushing out your body to make strike". But why??? You didn't say, "why I should keep my left foot straight". The way you write doesn't seem like you have any respect for me. I don't know you at all. If you do kendo, please put more value on respecting others. I will keep your post here. But if I see no respect in your writing next time, I will ban you. Thank you

[@KendoGuide]

Thanks for your comment, LoafOfFloof ;3! 😄 As Tim Bottman said, usually people tell you to keep your left foot straight in kendo. But not many explain why. So I will upload a video soon. My foot protector is to make it slippery. I am not protecting my foot at all. I am working on my body movement. By making my left foot slippery, I am avoiding unnecessary shifts in the centre of gravity. I am just experimenting to improve my kendo :)
