Rewatching this, especially for small men, which as an older beginner, I find so difficult. Thank you Andy.
What an excellent video and channel. I am 48 and have just begun my Kendo journey so this is great extracurricular learning! Subbed and Liked!
Thank you A.F. for super-professional videos, with clarity and realistic Kendo knowledge.
Very nice review of some basics that are often overlooked. Loving this show so far!
The ground shook as the titan lunged forward and struck down his foe! So did the camera i guess.

instructions unclear, screamed at my parents in 20 different ways
いや、じゃない。
役に立つと思うよ
thank you very much. very clear instruction.
I love martial arts and currently train in a couple styles but I'd live to give kendo a try but I don't live near a club or have the money for all that gear atm.
Sometimes the clubs will let you borrow or rent the gear. Also you probably wont need more than the Shinai for several months. Hopefully you can find a club sometime soon.
What martial arts do you do?
I love Kendo but I'd love to learn something unarmed at some point too.
+BubbleGumNipples ah ok thanks. I've trained in karate, judo and tkd :)
@@bubblegumnipples1639 don't they call it a dojo, since it is a martial art? Let's not be like the "combat sports" jocks. :)

god channel
im argentinian and you acent is very clare
hey Andy can you do a kaeshi kote with kaeshi men video?
Hi Andy and The Kendo Show. Can I ask in that basic cutting Men, isn't the degrees by which you raise your shinai too much? The point of your sword is almost at the lower end of your back. In the fumikomi strike your point was more angled to the back of your head. If we say that 0 degrees are at the top of my head (the straight angle of my body), you go in the first strike maybe like 110 degrees maybe. The fumikomi strike approx 90 degrees. I'm currently being taught to go around 45 degrees maybe. However, this might just be different strikes and you're demonstrating a very large men so to say. Would love to hear your thoughts and reasoning on this. I never see in sparring or matches people go beyond 45 degrees at max in a strike. If this is the case, why should a beginner be thought basics to go overarch? In a real match when I'm sort of fatigued or similar, won't I go back to those basics of overarching?
Hi, if your Sensei says to go to 45 degrees, then follow their teaching. In sparring, we rarely use large swings, but in order to learn the mechanics of small attacks, it is necessary to practice large swings. Hope that helps!
I want to learn kendo howeaver i don't know if there is a school that teaches kendo in th Philippines
Kiais are scary man
Wow skyrim
How come kendo swords are straight but sumari sword is curve
So does kendo only have one attack?comming down on top of the head with that same chop over and over?is kendo all about landing that one move?how would it fair against a kenjutsu practitioner?i ask because i want to learn a sword art.theres a kendo place near by but with kendo all i see is this one move over and over.what about when some one chops your stomach open while your holding your arms up like that?
No. While it is true that Kendo is more limited with its target area(and a few other things) than Kenjutsu, there are a multitude of different strike permutations. There are 4 target areas the top of head or Men(and both sides of the head too), the wrist or Kote, the chest or Dou and the Throat(which can only be targeted with a thrust).
From these 4 basic cuts, there are multiple different techiniques that result including actions where you void your opponent's strike and counter strike, actions where you recieve your opponent's strike and use it to power your counterattack and so forth.
The Men or the Face Strike is seen as so important and so widely used because it's the most fundamental cut you can perform and it's seen as desirable because it requires you to break your opponent's center and go for a deep target.
While Kendo has left some of it's Kenjutsu roots behind, fundamentally many of the concepts in modern Kendo originate from Kenjutsu.
why would you tell your opponent where you're gonna hit, that part doesn't make sense
you say that after making the strike as far as i know, not before.
@@finaleclipse9018 You say it as you're hitting. If you do it after you wont get the point
In a warfighting scenario, you're correct, but even in training for warfighting (speaking as a US Marine) there is more value in the breath training and the mental "I am doing this" effect of the Kiai than can be conveyed over a TH-cam Comment. If you find yourself accidentally shouting Men as you attack your Japanese speaking opponent in all those real life katana encounters, be like, the minimum speed required in kendo when your strike and the guy will be less alive anyway. If you're not that fast, you shouldn't be wielding a katana outside training. If you don't have a TARDIS, you shouldn't be using a Katana for self defense or warfare, at least not for a few decades. Kenjutsu剣術(Military Art of the Katana)≠Kendo剣道(The Path of the Katana)
武道 Budo are about bettering yourself by applying the principles of warfare, not winning a war. 武術 Bujutsu is about unaliving people.
is this in japan
yes
Why do you yell?
