    Your japanese pronunciation is the most satisfying thing I've heard in a while.

    Just joined a Kendo circle from my uni in Japan where I am studying as an exchange student, and every time after practice I forgot most of the basics they teach me... well, your channel is saving me!! 💪🏼🙏🏼

    So helpful!!! My 10yr old has been practicing kendo for a yr now and I never feel as though I get her hakama right. She's ready to learn to tie it on her own and this is the ONLY video I could find that showed the steps up close and slow enough where she could see them well enough to figure it out!! (Also, now I know where I was messing up!!)

    Enjoy your videos very much. I’ve also bought and received my Kendogi and Hakama...I’m impressed with the quality. Never too late to start this sport...I’m 70 and am really enjoying it.

    Found your channel and absolutely love it for helping me get started and continue along in kendo. I'm two months in since I started and just got my hakama and kekogi today and it was a breeze putting it on thanks to this video! Although I need to work on making it cleaner presentation wise but at least I can wear it! Glad to start feeling even more part of my dojo now that I can join with the other uniform wearers lol

  • @ShinRyuuji

    Lovely😊
    As always, you make it all look so easy😅 Andy Sensei.
    I was, of course, kindly assisted by my lady Loida Sensei which was so detailed and interesting and enjoyed that first dressing up. I'm sure you have a Japanese term for that, too 😅, but "dressing up" it is, for now.
    I've never "glowed" 😅 so much dressing up 😅😅Phew😅😅
    And could I do it again the next time? Ha ha ha
    But the next available person at the time was a male sempai. Could I care less. It was shiai day and I arrived so early so as to dress up properly, I even had the iron out the night before! 😂. It was a rare occasion, I hasten to add. As a bonus, our team won in the non-bogu section. I hated to find out what I contributed to the win except for the entertainment and giggles because of my mistakes. 🙄😜 But, hey ho, lessons learned. I am only grateful for all the support of everyone around me from my fellow beginners, sempais and sensei. Heavens know how much they bear up 😅 I still haven't got a clue sometimes when I go into a rush and lose it all .
    Oh well, at least not my hakama with my sensei and your goodself's lesson here, Andy sensei. Thank you. 😊❤

  • @xirensixseo
    @xirensixseo ปีที่แล้ว

    so i used to do kendo. however, i have come across an issue recently. toe korean kendo uniform is not the same as actual kendo gi and hakama
    the hakama has a weird band with velcro???? so im assuming you out that on first before putting on the front piece, but that makes using the plastic piece to secure the rear impossible, so you could put it on second, but that means theres a weird velcro belt on top of the first tie you do, its weird, and i unfortunately didnt notice it until after i bought it

    I still struggle with putting the Men on, the sensei told me one way, a senpai another, tutorials, yet another version. I reckon I'll stick my very unorthodox way, just roll around the laces and tight them up ;)

  • @jpettymd
    @jpettymd 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Any opinions on what to wear under the kendogi and hakama? I hear traditionally people usually go commando, but the briefs might be ok. I heard you will get laughed at if you wear an undershirt!

    • @TheKendoShow
      @TheKendoShow  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Most people don't wear any underwear, but you can wear it if you prefer. If you want to wear a shirt under the Kendogi, I recommend a tight-fitting, compression-type garment. Hope that helps!

    Thanks for sharing but there’s something i’m very curious about why is it that kendo practitioners don’t wear trousers under their hakamas instead they wear a kendogi and a hakama but no trousers underneath the hakamas why but for aikidokas they wear trousers under their hakamas together with a dogi care to explain why

  • @leel8383
    @leel8383 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Quality video, sensei. Regarding yoko musubi, I have also heard that it has a cultural significance in that tate musubi is used in the scenario of dressing someone for their funeral. What do you think?

    • @TheKendoShow
      @TheKendoShow  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have heard this too, but I have never actually heard it here in Japan. So it may be something that is a cultural practice in some areas, but it certainly is not practiced by everyone. Interestingly though, folding the Kendogi closed in the opposite way - so right side over left, instead of left over right - is also inappropriate for a similar reason that you mention. Most Japanese traditional clothing closes in this way, with the left side going over the right -the exception being for a body at a funeral, when the right is folded over the left - if that makes sense :)
      Hope that helps!

    • @leel8383
      @leel8383 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I trust your primary research better than the rumours of a source I have long since forgotten. I will try not to perpetuate the urban myth! Nice pickup on the the left-over-right rule, I remember being taught that one too a long time ago too when putting on a yukata at a shinto rotenburo on an island volcano.
      Thanks for your thoughtful response and for breaking down these beginner topics which I found very useful especially when I was freshly starting Kendo only a year ago but also now when I am facing new beginners and need review!

      Yes. Generally Women would tie the Hakama higher than men, so would usually need one size larger 😉

    Hi Andy, excellent video as always. One useful technique for tying the hanamusubi you might feature if you ever do an episode on wearing bogu is the Ian shoelace knot. It allows you to tie a perfect knot in less than a second if you get used to it. Give it a google :)

    Good succinct presentation. However, it’s a bit hard to see what you’re doing using a black hakama in front of a bight wall. A lighter color would be easier to see, especially in the long shots. If you prefer the look of a black one, shoot in front of a darker background with stronger key and fill lights with hard light, no diffusion so shadows are visible, and open the aperture a couple of stops. It’s easier to see what’s going on in the closeups, but still a bit dark.
