I am 77. Been practicing kendo on Saipan for 6 years. Your instruction is clear and encouraging.

[@jazzgazz8018]

Certainly his instructions are great. It's never too late for you to learn Kendo from the age of 77. I support you from Japan.

[@Dizinii]

Omg. Im 51 and just starting kendo. Ur inspiring. Imma keep going

[@cobramoose]

"this is my interpretation, dont tell your teacher they're wrong because a youtuber said different" I truly wish more people like you existed in the gun world lol

[@perialis2970]

I am only a kendoka 1st dan (a little over 1 year in practicing kendo) im japanese. from my experience, using big strikes is still a good way in shiai/matches. but only when you are already ready. if you were going to do a big men strike from the chudan stance, it will take too long, so what you wanna do is be already be in the striking stance, like a slightly modified version of jodan stance, one you are most comfortable with. Although it may be blatant to your opponent you are gonna strike the men, it does not know when. also the reason why you should do big strike is because its alot easier and better to make a point than a small men, big strikes make a big booming sound so yeah.

Very excellent camera view and explanation with details and clear easy to understand. Thank you so much sensei, 🙏

[@ash_vagabond3308]

As someone whos best strike is a Men I love your video since I have a lot of room for improvements and I want to make it way better

[@etceteraretecte]

thanks for this! my club doesn't really practice "small strikes" at all - we're expected to do big cuts, elbows above the shoulders, even in jigeiko and stuff. so this is really useful reference as I want to be able to do both, ideally!

[@MushyFridge]

I assume this rule you state is for beginners only? Not sure how the jigeiko could ‘function’ propery with everyone using big strikes? Not trying to insult your dojo, it just is confusing!

[@etceteraretecte]

@@MushyFridge haha, yeah. Having watched a bit more kendo on here I know it's weird. Having progressed a bit I think they do relax it a bit sometimes, but they definitely have a... *preference* for biggish strikes, even in jigeiko. Not saying it's good or anything (my original comment was about wanting to learn smaller cuts despite this, haha!)

[@PantheraUncia13]

I've been a watcher for a while now and I have to say I am absolutely LOVING the new setup (intro, camera angles etc).

[@fatihemrem7289]

KENDO!!! Kendo, kendo, kendo! #Kendo #Sport #KendoNinjasDoingTheirWork #Men

[@AaronRowell]

Thank you, I got a some new ways to look at my strikes as well as some good reminders. I'm trying this tonight.

[@HowToMakeAComment]

Thank you Sensei! Clear and precise.

[@swkendo]

This is a very helpful video. Thank you.

[@charliekkendo]

Another good one, Andy!

[@josephford4088]

Thanks, Andy and Mrs. Andy.

[@ryanwood8428]

Thank you Fisher Sensei for the this incredibly informative video! I just recently started kendo in January in Germany so it helps a lot to come watch your videos for some clear English clarification:) Was really struggling to understand the small men strikes so again thanks for the clarification

[@manueldacosta6539]

Great video. Great info. Thank you.

[@tartarart4922]

[@pierrox8161]

[@BassAndTenor]

[@savitharsavithar8807]

Thanks for vídeo. Very Good instraction

[@Waseirafa]

❤

[@rhmikemizo2320]

Njoy too much, I'm intresting in kendo now, it's gonna be my new hobby. I believe kendo is the best defence after guns. We can use all kind of stick i believe.

[@user-vd5rl9mg2b]

Although in a lot of Japan contests people strike as the latter method which Fisher sensei recommend against

[@user-vd5rl9mg2b]

Like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKDWdIGVYryUrck

[@alexarmendozadequilla1300]

The fact that he still can talk while breathing heavily. He must be sweating

[@makaylaalexander4749]

How do you incorporate double strikes

[@awordabout...3061]

I've been told that the trick is to keep your wrists and shoulders relaxed, make a sharp strike so that you put enough force in that your shinai recoils, and then use that momentum to lift the shinai over your target and snap with the wrists again.

[@mugensamurai]

Feminist would like this.
