Hi! Thank you for the instruction and demonstration. Can you provide additional information on turn-kote? I am not sure how turn kote is different from the other kote waza

[@Kajiatani-Kendo-Global]

"Turn→Kote" is a technique in which you turn your shinai counterclockwise around your opponent's shinai before striking Kote.The key point of "Turn→Kote" is how to connect the turning action and the Kote-Uchi. If the movements are done separately you will be attacked at the moment of turning. So it is important to study how to connect Kote quickly while turning

@@Kajiatani-Kendo-Global The movement is so fast that I could not understand it! But is "turn-kote" the same of "maki-kote"?

[@Kajiatani-Kendo-Global]

The maki-kote physically rotates the opponent's shinai before striking; the Turn→kote does not physically touch the opponent's shinai. It is considered a type of feint technique.

thank you for your video. Could you please explain how you use your footwork in a video? I can see that your movement is really fast and you keep moving your both foot before and after striking. I also watched videos from other kendoka (especially not young kendoka :D), I can see that they look like they dont move. What is the differences between your footwork and their footwork? thank you

[@Kajiatani-Kendo-Global]

We will make a video of the footwork, so please wait.
