Outstanding video. About the bokuto that you’re using, what kind is it? What Ryu-ha belongs to? Thank you!

[@KendoGuide]

Thank you for your comment, Gustavo Rearte!😀 That bokuto is for Niten Ichi Ryu.

Thank you sir for sharing! :-) I wanted to ask how would we do the footwork in a small room with limited space what we step forward for a strike and strike as we step backwards as well

[@KendoGuide]

Thank you for your question, Daniel Lopez The blind Samurai!😀 Hope you liked the video. In old old days, we didn't have fixed numbers of steps we should take. It was totally up to motodachi (receiver). If you cannot take 4, 5 steps, take as many steps as you can. When you have space, do 4 and 5 steps.

@@KendoGuide thank you sir I love your videos and your book! :-) inside my house where I trained because I am blind and it is easier for me to train indoors so my question is do I take one step forward and hit one step backward in Hit and keep going that way? I have a very small training area which is the living room lol thank you for your time! :-)

Thank-you Sensei Masahiro Imafuji for this instruction. I know this is for beginners (and especially adult beginners) but why are you skipping the tai-atari?

[@agentapathy]

The late Salmon-sensei had a good article regarding that: kendoinfo.wordpress.com/2010/08/24/kirikaeshi/

[@KendoGuide]

When I learned kirikaeshi as a kid, we didn't have taiatari (maybe I am wrong). But the reason I intentionally skip taiatari especially when teaching beginners, they will develop bad habits of not completing their men strike. This is problematic for many beginners. I am not against taiatari as long as practitioners can perform it well with competing their men strike. Good?
