#kendo #martialarts #grading Kendo 5th Dan ( Godan ) Pass Vs Fail Analysis In this video I review and discuss my first attempt at the Kendo Godan examination which I failed and compare it to my second attempt a year later where I pass. This is a deep dive so it's a lengthy video, but entirely worth watching if you're training towards Yondan and or Godan. I sincerely hope it can be of benefit to others in their training.

CONGRATULLATIONS!!! I just passed my Yon Dan test after so many failures I hate to admit it. I am excited to watch this video. Thank you for posting this for the Kendo community.
Thank you so much for taking the effort to record and share this, and congratulationss on achieving Godan. You can really see the difference in level between the two shinsa! If you ever find yourself in the Lake District feel free to drop in for keiko :)
Thanks for the detailed analysis. And congrats on Godan. This gives me some things to think about in how I train now and what I need to concentrate on. As Fisher Sensei says. Great Kendo Video!
I just passed Yon Dan after being 3rd Dan for many years. Make sure your posture and balance are good. Hit a Kote-Men or Kaishi-Do or Kote-Do. Something you have obviously practiced that is a combination beyond just Men or Kote. Have a loud Kiai, good follow through and Zanshin and you should do well. Do not get overly concerned if you get scored on. Stay focused and GOOD LUCK!! Let me know how you do.
