Great kendo video and excellent feedback from Fisher-sensei as usual! To the second kendoka, I hope I am not overstepping my bounds, but would like to offer a bit of advice: I would highly suggest that you square your hips forward more (and open your feet a bit wider) in your kamae and not cross your feet as you move laterally, i.e. if moving right, start with the right foot, and if moving left, start with the left foot. At the moment of your feet crossing, I feel it would be very unstable to move forward for a strike if necessary, whereas moving with your legs and hips open to the front would maintain the ability to leap forward cleanly from almost any moment in the movement.
Love the kyu commenting. There's a ton of kodansha shiai videos around. But as a kyusha myself, I can't really do much midorigeiko watching high grade shias, so I really appreciate this. Hope you'll review many others lower level stuff!
Great Kendo feedback series. Your Kendo videos are a wonderful Kendo resource for the Kendo community. It's a brilliant series of feedback that continue to grow the Kendo community. KENDO!
this video is incredibly helpful for us Kendo beginners! Andy Fisher Sensei’s detailed analysis of Shiai and grading videos is exactly what we need to improve our techniques and understanding of Kendo. The breakdown of each match and the constructive feedback are invaluable. Thank you, Sensei, for providing such insightful content in English! It’s great to have a resource like this that caters to our learning needs. Looking forward to more videos like this. #Kendo #KendoStar #Shiai #Grading #KendoTips
Very discernible (taking note for myself) that the submitter re-adjusted their left foot right before each strike. That might have weakened their posture and broken their seme/tame.
Thank you for the excellent analysis of the video. However, I would like to have expert feedback on the strikes delivered during kendo matches. I'm not sure if they are delivered with force or lightly but quickly. In other words, is there enough force in the strikes to feel pain despite the protective gear?
@@americanbystandard The way the taitari was done was wholly unnecessary. As a male player, I always wonder why does a male player feel the need to play like that to win against a female player? It's certainly not proper to shove your hands upwards as the guy did; it became outright reckless for him to then push forwards at the girl's face height. No wonder she tipped backward like that.

Thank you as always Fisher-san!

Good video and feedback about kendo dan grading👍

26:25 That poor girl.
oof... she wasn't ready for that haha. glad she's ok.
yea that's absurdly improper taiatari. Someone bumped the back of their head on the floor several years ago in China and had to be rushed to the ER.
@@yanggu1793 It wasn't improper at all. You have to be ready for stuff like that in shiai.

No, that was absolutely inappropriate.
