The Basics of the Kendo World

WKAR "Current Sports" beat reporter Darren Weiss, who has followed the Michigan State Kendo club, goes in depth with this video showing how the under-the-radar Martial Art sport works. Through the help of Ron Fox, the MSU Kendo Sensei, correct technique and rules of how to obtain points in a match are demonstrated.

I have 3 years of Kendo practice and it still impresses me! Kendo is not complex. How can something so simple be so hard to master? Kendo is very visual deluding. You can only really see whats happening when you know the technique.

[@sherlockinvestigatesjapan8302]

I started Kendo about three years ago, it is a great sport and martial art. It has taught me that if I think I am at my limit I can always pull out "just one more cut". I recommend Kendo to anyone looking to build confidence, fitness or anyone who just has a interest in Japanese culture.

[@photogramistic]

when you have bad audio...never use background music

[@childesheeran2507]

Now I know..the string is not the actual blade. So what part is that?

[@yaroxkendo3043]

It's the backside of the blade.

[@thedude4795]

[@SnowmansApartment]

Izio Shaba don't get what you mean

[@JInstruments]

The screaming HAS to be, it is part of the background of kendo, behind the strikes and phisical activity there is the spirit and that energy has to be realeased, it is of course more intense in a real 1 on 1 fight.

[@R_aja2024]

Idk what you meant but screaming make it perfect

[@RoboBoddicker]

the screaming is the best part

[@HighLighterlines]
