Kendo101: How to wear Tenugui for Kendo?

A must see for beginner level of Kendokas. In this video, Taro Ariga (CEO e-bogu.com - Kendo Renshi 7th Dan) explains how to wear the Tenugui for Kendo. At start, you may find it difficult to wear a Tenugui. However, it is important to wear it correctly, so it will not slip down during practice. You will definitely need to practice at home, otherwise you might miss some part of your Kendo Keiko. This video helps you learn how to wear the Tenugui in two different ways. You can practice whichever way you feel comfortable.

For method 1, you don't really need to tuck it in by the ears; just get it snug and hold it. When you pull up the part that's hanging in front of your face, it rolls over and traps the two edges and holds them quite well. (Sometimes, without even trying, I get it too tight and have to start over.)

Thanks for sharing, it helps me as a beginner very much.

@GokiGandalf I found that I had to just go to my local fabric store, I picked out some dark blue fabric, and cut it about an inch or so bigger in both dimensions. Japanese have smaller noggins, I usually wear an XL hat, so most any tenugui didn't fit me. Also, the price is a lot cheaper, I get them for a couple dollars each, I can buy three or four for the price of one.

Wonderful! Thank so much!

Mine is 33cm by 100cm (13in x 39in). I can do the first method no problem, but my head's too big for the second. (The corners barely meet on my forehead, no way to tie a knot.)

[@PlayTheGamut]

great vid, thanks for sharing the info.

[@RainbowWarrior1622]

Very helpful. Thanks.

[@GokiGandalf]

my tenugui is not long enough for the second way of putting on.

[@Jimbo386000]

Same

[@RainbowWarrior1622]

I noticed that with the second way he showed. Maybe its good if you have a smaller head.

[@artkingofwholefoods74]

[@instanthellmurderer]

[@miltonik08]

It would be nice to see the sides when you fold in the Tenugui... Thanks for sharing this video...

[@user-wm2zt4sx9c]

Thank you :)

[@blueone94]

how long should they be? i got some from a Japanese festival kind of thing. and i think they may be too long : /

[@Lysaenai]

What does this Tengui say?

[@blugularis]

I wish you could slow down and show the side so I can see you tuck it in?

[@blugularis]

just "tuck it in here..." HOW!?

[@Kyaru4]

I cant put this shit on for the life of me.

[@trophyborg]

Its the way of the sword not the way of the smile! :P =)
