You are the first one that explains this kendo footwork well in my opinion. In short sprint, similar training drill is called A-skip to help you practice quickly pull your leg forward.

[@Kendotips]

Thank you. I will research this further I have a runner friend that has helped me in the past but I think it would be interesting to bring some of the sport science from other disciplines into Kendo. Thank you for watching and the comment!

I like this interpretation of pulling yourself forward. Kanzaki Sensei used a similar expression but he described it as to stand upright as you land. Like to make yourself talker as you land. I think it's the same point but different wording.

[@Kendotips]

Thank you for your comment! The concept is the same but I refrain from using it in order to not give the image of "sinking" at the moment of Fumikomi. I wanted to keep the video short so I didn't explore this concept to not have to also explain that you don't want to drop the body. I hope this makes sense, let me know if it doesn't! Thank you again for watching and your comments.

I really relate with your point of view on fumikomi. When I started Kendo I was recovering from a foot fracture so when I started fumikomi I felt pain and started to do it the wrong way resulting in a bad posture and overall movement. I wonky started correcting it when I started thinking of fumikomi less as a stomp and more as a propelling movement, more fluid and natural. I am still working on it but I believe I am a good path atm on improving it. Thanks for this video and the tips. Keep them coming.

Thank you for the support!! Yeah I think many people misinterpret stronger fumikomi. I always hear people use that term and how they want to have stronger fumikomi and maybe that's where we start distorting the function of it. I'm glad this was helpful! I hope to keep making more useful videos.

Gracias por este video traducido, yo practique kendo, iado y jodo en Argentina, pero por falta de tiempo deje de practicar con mis sempai, y cuando puedo hago kata. Los extraño mucho a mis compañeros. Saludos Sebastian desde Mendoza, Argentina

[@Kendotips]

Un placer. Quisiera hacer mas videos en Español pero me consume mucho tiempo, pero ahora en mis videos reviso todos los subtítulos que subo así que la traducción debería de ser mejor. Gracias por ver el video y el mensaje.

[@YasuharuNakatsu]

I love your shirt!😂

[@Kendotips]

The k you, it was a gift but I’m thinking on making some my self!

[@humanfactorbladerunnersoun127]

Gracias por estos consejos. Creo que es la técnica de pies que mas cuesta en los inicios

[@Kendotips]

Yo creo que es por la mala interpretación de los principiantes, y querer hacer ruido con el pie, en ves de entender la función! muchas gracias por el comentario y disculpa la tardanza en responder.

[@robertstroud5232]

Necesito un t-shirt como eso! 剣道は激しい、ビールはおいしい

[@Kendotips]

Stroud Sensei, I will get in contact with the person that made it try to get you one! Thank you for watching my video!

[@SingaporeanInKorea]

How frequently does your gym train? Could I join a session once a week? I had background in kendo more than 30 years ago when i was a kid but I am a 2nd Dan kenjutsu uchideshi in Osaka now. I just wanna make sure I can still grow in the competitive fighting side of things.

[@stejada1]

Is not fumikomi (jumping step) the foot motion/step that Miyamoto Musashi dismissed in his book "Five Rings"?

[@Kendotips]

stejada1 I personally don’t see fumikomi at all. But please tell us more.
