You are not too young to start kendo at the age of 15. In Japan, we start kendo as young as 4 or 5 years old. I started kendo at the age of 7. My sensei started kendo at the age of 15. And now he is 7th dan and a main kendo instructor (shihan) of a Japanese university. Go for it!
Hiro Imafuji hi. I am very interested in Kendo. And I finally found this video for beginners. Thank you so much. Looking forward to start my training
10 years ago wow
From what I understand, first dan in Kendo can be achieved in just over a year, correct?
Hiro imafuji hi I am Starlight and I always want to learn kendo really really thanks I promise I wouldn't use this for fun I will use this for self defense only thanks so much Sir 🌠
Can you start kendo at the age of 22 i have nothing better to do and need another hobbie but Alamo want to learn some sort of sword style
I have not done kendo in almost 30 years and would love to get back into it. I can see your videos will be a great refresher for me.
Thank you! Please let us know when you get back into it!
i always wanted to study kendo, he's very helpful
You can never be too old or too young to start! I'm nearly 40 and been doing Kendo for only seven months, and really enjoy it, go for it!!
THERES FACES IN THE WALLL
( that's all the people that have died in that dojo)
Really?! I think they haunted you!
@@KendoGuide it was a joke why hurt me :( they hunt you! Better fight them with your katana!
@@casof97 I was joking too! One correction. I didn't say "hurt". I wrote "haunted". Just kidding :)
@@KendoGuide I know you did I said hurt cus a ghost can hurt your haha
Faces?
Yes!!! your stretches like when you said don’t lift up your hip is so yoga. Well done this is wonderful to watch. Thank you for posting.
You're so welcome! Is that right? I did not know that! Thank you very much for sharing that!
I always wanted to learn Kendo. Its time to start!
Cool! Good to hear that!
I waited exactly 4 years to find out if you got anywhere with it?
@@anthonymarcus6235 Wow

Guys,
Thanks for all the comments and sorry for the delay of my reply.
I'm glad that you liked the video.
More videos are coming up soon so stay tuned.
Cheers,
Hiro
just about to start kendo,thanks a lot for your helpful videos
ありがとうございました先生
Thank you! And Glad to hear that they were helpful!
+Hiro Imafuji (Kendo For Life) they are,for sure!!!
thanks a lot again
ito okami You're welcome and thanks!
arigatou gozaimasu !!!
Just started to watch this and I'm very fascinated about the art a lot questions i have.
I will do my best follow your videos to the best of my ability. I preparing myself for a movie, and then need me to master this art with a sabre by January 2012 before I may go to Japan to finish the rest of my job out.
I first saw Kendo demonstrated on TV when I was 18 or 19, and I loved the look of it- the fact that there is so much ritual and tradition in it really appealed to me. However- there has never been a club within a reasonable distance of me - not even remotely close. Now, twenty-odd years later, a club has finally started within ten miles or so, and I'll finally get to have a go! I'm genuinely beside myself with glee this morning like a kid at christmas - I can't wait!
Thank you so much! I always wanted to do kendo and now i finally can
You're welcome! Find a dojo near you too!
I only do kendo. I have done Iaido and Naginata for a while but since I moved around a lot, I had to stop learning Iaido and Naginata. Good to be a help!
i can finally become an anime protagonist
__noir that’s what I came here for lol I want to legit battle random people in a duel straight up 👌🏻
Saeko, Class President (toradora), Kenshin, etc. brought me here.
If your white or Asian you got a shot but if ya black fat chance :(

Thank you so much for this video sir. Watching/listening to you explain the hand, foot, and body movements of the seiza along with the posture in detail gives me cause to move to Indiana with an eagerness to join your dojo. The rather small amount kendo training I've had in the past has been very informal and inconsistent. However, I've retained most of what I've learned. My very first martial arts sensei in hand-to-hand combat currently lives Indiana now (I've had several throughout my life starting at age 8), but he no longer teaches. We do stay in touch through social media though. He checks up on me every once in awhile. I sincerely hope that you continue with the patient cyber instruction sir. Mata-ne!
Thank you for your comment, Qu Dragon!😀 Hopefully, we can get together when you visit your teacher some day in the future when the virus is not acting up like now!
I have tons of videos here but also have more info at kendo-guide.com. Hope you get a lot of info you need! 😀👍

So I was going to join Kendo in Junior Highschool.
And this video is really helpful.
本当にありがとう、先生！
+CowRi どういたしまして！Great to know! Good luck with your kendo at you school!
Definitely a master in technique,Honor and tradition
Thank you for your comment, Scott W!😀 Very nice of you leaving such kind words.

Tena koe, Chownz. You're welcome.
I don't know which kendo club in NZ you belong to but as far as I know these clubs in NZ are all great. I miss kiwis. Looking forwards to going back there and talking to my mates :)
I have been working on that all day. It is DEFINETLY working. Thank you so much for the advice. Seiza is becoming almost natural it seems!
I've found this video for the sake of writing, as in a story I'm currently working on, the main character is rather forcefully enrolled into her schools kendo club after she lied about being part of it to explain why her hands hurt from bashing a training dummy in a magical world that she creates for herself each day, so I am watching these videos to give myself an understanding in order to accurately portray it within my story, so thank you for your videos :)
You're welcome! Good luck!
I just have my first Kendo lesson in Dojo today. Your video helps me a lot when practise at home. Thank you.
Excellent video. I'm beginning training in several martial arts, including Kendo, as a way to get back in shape after a back injury. I like it when people explain all parts of the martial art, including etiquette. Discipline is key.
I like how concise and simple these videos are; I'm learning some Kendo footwork for Taekwondo and this channel is really helpful. Arigatou!
Thank you for posting this video it will help me get back to learning Kendo again after a 7 year break.
Thank you for posting your video and showing me the introduction to Kendo. I am very interested in learning Kendo and I hope to gain more knowledge and to learn from your instruction here. Much appreciated.
You're very welcome! If you have any questions/comments/suggestions, please let me know!
wise answer! Know the reasons of your practice before practice is always a good rule :)
I tried to find a Kendo dojo but could not find one close enough so I ended up doing Aikido and made it to Shodan. Good video,, nothing beats the basics
I know this video is all. As we don't have any locals near me that I can study with. I would like to start somewhere. Thank you
hi i just started kendo and it is reaaally interesting and something completely new to me. your videos are helping me a lot! I really want to practice hard but I'm always wondering if I'm doing it wrong and i don't want to learn it wrongly and make it become a bad habit which i cant get rid of anymore . I'll do my best anyways and thanks for your help! ♡

love you nico

Thank you very much, guys.
I am glad that you liked the video.
Kendo etiquette video is not around much so I am glad that you guys found this video helpful.
Thanks!
You're a nice guy to even upload multiple of videos about Kendo and even explaining lots of it!
I hope your classes start soon, looking forward to picking up on something new.
+samuel river My class in Indiana? or Online?
+Hiro Imafuji (Kendo For Life) Your Indiana classes. Or are those not happening anymore?
+samuel river Are you in this Indiana kendo seminar list? I am thinking to have another 3 months seminar so please make sure to be in the list! Thank you! forms.aweber.com/form/19/1144166019.htm
Thanks! Just signed up for it.
OK! Thanks! I will send out notification about a kendo seminar.
Cheers for your comment. I cannot agree more. It is always good to go back to the basics.
I am sure Aikido and Kendo share a lot in common.
You may be able to find a dojo near you in the future.
Good luck!
I dont have a bamboo sword but i have a wooden katana I've been interested in swords and martial arts for so long and I wanted to try them but I was too busy with my schooling I finally have time thank you
Kia ora, thank you for the very helpful videos, they will greatly help me in improving my kendo. Ka kite from New Zealand
Very useful lessons... Arigatou gozai masu!
Oh wow, I'm so glad to have found your videos. There are no schools of Kendo or any other legitimate sword arts where I live, so thank you so much for taking the time to do these. I know I'm only seeing the basics and nothing really replaces a good sensei in person, however, it is far better than having nothing to go on but my books :3
I have wanted to train in Kendo for a while, long before I watched this video.
Hey I'm Scottish but trying to learn Japaneseso people like you are very helpful
Good! But it doesn't really matter whom you learn from as long as they know what they are doing :)
THIS MAN IS AMAZING
Thank you!
@@KendoGuide :3 ♡
I learnt kendo since I was twelve and well I am kinda good at it if I do say so myself but I got that inspiration after watching swor art online:)
Same :)
I hope the nerve gear will come out soon
+Hannah Scarlet yeah me too saw it in sword art online and am interested in kendo also I think its a good way to get active
saw it in chivalry of a failed knight and asterisk war.
Ive always wanted to try Kendo for the experience. I've always preferred swords and i think it's a good way to train your body and mind. SAO urged me more to start looking into Kendo - and its one of my favourites.
Thanks for the video!!👍😄 I've been wanting to do kendo for so long, and now i can start learning.

Thank you so much for the Training video. Well taught.
I was the same as you , and now I have got my own style just like Kirito ..
So.. Is it too late to start Kendo? I'm 21 and am learning Taekwando with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and am interested in learning Kendo.
Thank you for your comment, Jake Campbell!😀 Hope you liked the video.
My father started kendo at the age of 55. He loved it and enjoyed it. So if you want to do it, you should do it now! www.kendo-guide.com/unknown_kendoist.html

Thanks, sensei.
Thanks for your comment and you're welcome, Alief Nugroho!😄
do you only do this or do u do other arts such as jiu-jitsu and other this is very helpful subscribed
How to bow is different even in Japanese martial arts. Each martial arts have their own reason so you should know why and then perform. that way it won't confuse you.
Dear Mr. Hero how do you keep your gi and Hakama always in such great condition? The colors haven’t faded in years and I have been watching for a while. Mine sadly faded a few months into training even tho I take care of it more than my wedding suit
I have multiple keikogi and hakama :) That is why they don't look worn out! That is the trick!
I don't know which character :) Glad that you liked the video!
If you do the proper breathing, 3 breathings take about 45 sec to 1 minute. Do it a bit longer than 1 1/2 minutes as a start. 3 minutes sound right to me. So 10 breathigs. It depends on who are training too, I think. It is hard for beginners to sit in seiza for a long time. So adjust the length of mokuso for everyone.
There will be an article about breathing in kendo at kendo-guide website. Come and check it out!
Cool, very useful for us begginers, thank you!
I am interested in Kendo, this video was extremely helpful !
I am 17, i am not too old to start with Kendo am i?
I am excited to buy my shinai and the clothing necessary to start
This video was Subarashii!
(I am learning Japanese on ny own so i may miss spell it-
I also havent been able to find a Japanese keyboard)
Sorry for the long comment!-
good good my grandpa teaches kendo i like this person
@Angelus2485
No it is not too late. Many starts kendo in their 50s or 60s.
My father started kendo at the age of 55.
Never too late!
Did not come because of anime, my grandpa used to practice kendo all the time, he said he was in his prime in 46, wanna learn what kendo is now, it seems interesting ngl
@dojo2go, If you still want to know what character from south park superlord282 is comparing you in the video is I'll tell you he is comparing to that school counciler with the big head and tight tie who say m'kay alot you know Mr Mackey PS your kendo teaching is really good and your doing it in the traditional way that kendo has alway been taught
me too, i have it on my wii but man it seems so fun!!
I'm on my 30's but I wanna learn this at home due to pandemic, I have nothing better to do good thing I have a Gintoki Bokuto Katana.
yeah i'm lefthanded, it's gotta be diffrent right like in tennis or fencing
Hello, I seem to have trouble sitting in Seiza. I'm not from any kind of Asian heritage so it is pretty new to me. It's quite painful on my knees after about 3 minutes. Does this go away over time? Thanks in advance!
Seiza is the sitting posture etc. Zazen is meditation. Mokuso is meditation. I'm a noobie to kendo, Japanese culture, and a frequent meditator, but i can't say any specifics sry :P
I want to get a gift from my friend who does Kendo.. what is a good gift??? Any recommendations?
I can finally become a jedi!
Good for you, Alexandru!
Thank you very much!! it was really helpful.
Imafuji sensei can I learn kendo only by watching your videos? We have talked about it last year I think. My country does not have a good kendo dojo. And I don't have a bokuto.
I apologize for my delayed reply. I was in Japan when you posted.
You can learn all the basic movements alone. But you must know that you need someone to correct you.
Where do you live?
@@KendoGuide sensei we have already talked about this last winter. It is really hard to find Kendo Dojos here. I live in Turkey. I think I will be coming to Japan to learn Kendo. I've been learning Japanese for 9 months. After University I think I will be visiting Japan.
Great! When you go to Japan, you definitely should start kendo. I am sure you've already checked this site: kendo-tr.com/ Make sure keep contacting them. They might know something you cannot find on the Internet. Good luck!
@@KendoGuide ありがとうございました先生。日本に行ったら、絶対に練習しますよ。ごくろうさまです！
頑張ってください！「ごくろうさまです！」は、このコンテキストではちょっと変ですね :)

Sensei 😊😊
I was doing Kendo for 6 months, reached the 4th kyu and won at a local tournament. Then I had an accident in Karate and broke my knee so I stopped both martial arts, now 5 years after that, I can’t do Karate, but I can do exercises like running and working out. Do you think I could start Kendo again? Medically it is possible if I’m careful. But now I’m 19 years old and I don’t know if I can do it.
Thank you for your comment, Vic!😀 Sorry to hear about the accident. And glad that you are in better condition.
My father started kendo at the age of 55. He loved it and enjoyed it. So if you want to do it again, you should do it! www.kendo-guide.com/unknown_kendoist.html
Unless you try, you won't know if you can or not. So start doing it and if you think you cannot do it, then you know what to do 👍 If I can help you with your kendo journey, you can always ask me any questions.
@@KendoGuide Thank you!!!
I will look forward
Great! Thanks!
Lol, you had to keep raising your hakama. But, it does block the view of your feet, so the people learning can't see xD. In the art I'm doing, there is a lot to do with feet, and since my sensei wears his hakama, he has to raise it for us 8th and 7th kyus. Btw, what rank are you at? 1st, 2nd 3rd, etc. dan?
But also want to learn in depth what it means and how to use it for self defense
What is the things you need when on kendo? (I just joined the kendo club.)
@DragunovPK Is it? I'm pretty sure left-handed only seems more "skilled" since most swordsmen are not used to fighting against lefties.
Indeed the Mokuso was virtually the same as the Jiu-Jitsu Mokuso, only some phrases are added here in Kendo.
Thanks, now we westeners finally know how to say it properly :P
The those terms are pretty hard to remember and pronounce. Good to be a help.
Time to start my kendo because i always wanted to be a good swordsman♥️
I did Kendo in college and just started looking to get back in to it. Unfortunately, the closest Kendo Academy to me is 2.5 hours away. The same Academy I attended while I was in college. 😂
Once COVID is gone or get under control I’m actually thinking of taking kendo classes
You wont regret!
I'm 22 years old and only now realozed i want to get into a sport. Is it to late for me?

Are the first few things about the meditation mandatory? or can you do it your way, like for me i put my dominant hand across aka right on top of left, then thumbs touching lightly, i always close my eyes too, is this a problem or is it just they way you were thought yourself?
thank you so much :D
You're welcome!
@Kasaidon the minimum age is 13 according to the singapore kendo club:)
