Hip extension is key also lunge archtype

harai if you're in active, suriage if you're being attacked

THANK YOU! Ill try to practice this cos my Fumikomi sucks!

👍👍!!

👍🏻

I mostly agree about the things you touched but there are a few things i see a bit differently. 1. Fumikomi progression I actually think its better to focus on correct landing first. You emphasize moving forward and not focus on landing "down". If you dont "fall" into your fumikomi with a bit of weight you kind of defeat the purpose of doing it. Its about adding body weight to your strikes and sharpen the strikes and body movement through fumikomi. Secondly there are a lot of drills revolving around pushing yourself out of the fumikomi to accelerate and to move forward. That of course doesnt mean you should land in a way were you can only further move with big strength Investment but the fact your center of gravity is also (next to moving forward) also coming down is crucial to develop very strong fumikomi. 2. Dont land fumikomi ahead of yourself but under your body. I fully disagree with this description. The example you showed was a close range men. Not really too common for lower level kendoka. You can and should put something ahead but its not directly the foot as it leads to heel injury (which sucks i know that). Its your right knee. This means in an attempt to launch yourself its important to bring the right knee forward as it directly contributes in moving your hips forward. The right foot should stay under the knee in a relaxed manner. Thats what is better in my opinion. With closer distance you simply end up not moving your hips (and therefore your right knee) forward which results in using fumikomi on the spot. One very big mistake beginners do is not making any distance and end up hitting the fumikomi close to the initial right foot position. Its not good to promote that with saying "do it under your body". But of course in the end you could argue that you meant exactly what i said and not launch the foot forward. Problem is the way you expressed it in the vid. Especially with that short clip.

Thanks so much for this, Jose! You're always an inspiration to me, my friend! Again, I hope we'll practice together one day!

i think tateuchikomi is also good for short fumikomi, but it’s quite hard to do

How did you know I was just thinking about this before practice? 😄

Great insight on Fumikomi, i will try and implement it in practice today :D

Terrific, Jose!!

Just great, Jose! I hope you're really well, my good friend!

Thanks for this, my friend! Have a great week ahead!

Thanks for this, my friend!! I do hope you're very well!

Very excited for this video. I think it will be very beneficial.

Also one additional thing that I gotta leave here. We are going to start junior group at the local kendo club and so if you happen to have any tips or ideas aimed at teaching and practicing fumikomi to children those would be also welcome!

Looking forward to the video! It's been kind of hard for me to piece together how to step and keep form.

Make sure to fall into a relaxed right foot. Dont stomp the floor. Its one major thing that people think to put a hole in the floor. The center of gravity should lower while performing fumikomi to allow your body weight to increase the striking power. Kajitani's body language shows that alot when he teaches about many techniques. If you keep your weight up you automatically must stomp the floor to regain contact with it. But in that case we are not achieving much. Also try hitting with the shinai before the foot reaches the floor. Like that we again can use the body weight to increase striking power. Many, many people reach the floor to early when launching forward.

One common fumikomi problem has got to be the overextension of the foot performing the stomp. Not only does it create potential for heel-injuries, but it can also make the stomp itself weaker, thus limiting the potential for Ippon as one progresses up the higher ranks.

I think a lot of teaching trys to take everyone from beginner to expert in one go. But that's not been my experience with learning fumi komi. Breaking it into different stages has been helpful to me, but I've had to do this on my own. I'll suggest that you go over what the back foot does, what the right knee does, how is upper body posture, how much knee bend is too much and for which leg, what is should feel like, all as if they are staged out. Maybe drills that focus just on tightening up one portion of it. I personall struggle a lot with leaning forward too much, and that's caused my back foot to come up too much, instead of a quick hikitsuke. I've got a drill that seems to be working, but it's slow progress to get it to show up in jigeiko or shiai. Also, I want to second the idea of more hiki-waza fumi komi content. That's something I struggle with.

not really basics I don't think but many people, myself included sometimes struggle doing good fumikomi during hiki waza. In my case the problem tends to be landing the fumikomi on the heel when trying hiki waza. In my case jumping a bit forward with the back leg helps with that somewhat but are there any other tips for hiki waza footwork as I cannot seem to get the fumikomi work there unless my back feet is off the ground during it?

Thanks for this, my friend!

The Shushin should have called Wakare .

Thank you for this!!

where can i get get deer skin kote

Continue to do so

Debana kote?

Did you do do tutorial yet?

Seems like a proper debana men to me....

👍🏻

Should it be white point?

Но хорошо что в движении

С центра руки убрал

I just started Kendo 5 months ago and looking at improving my general sparring. Coming from hand to hand martial arts its a whole new world trying to figure out openings, defence etc. These breakdown videos are awesome because you slow them and explain the situation 🙏🏼

Amazing. Thanks !!

0:27 초 일본선수 머리는 왜 안주는거야???? 어라~ 3:28 머리는 들어주네? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 심판 머야 진짜 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Slip n' slide

何や？手前の髪の毛がないお方は

I know everyone roasting the judges but which one is the bad call. Only one I see that is missed is the clear men for Japan and guy raises the weird side kote flag? Anything else i missed. Men at the end and the Hiki Kote are both in. Maybe there is one kote from red that could be called?

Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the teams final between Korea and Japan

Bad shinpans 😒

🔥🔥🔥

This angle is more clear to see, amazing! ❤

選手のレベルは上がってるが審判のレベルが見合ってない。最初と最後の小手は判定は別として1番見える主審が上げてるのに消すのはありえない😮

심판들 심판 받아야..

Good to see you are back!!

Muy humilde . Sirven tus enseñanzas

Fighting against jodan in general is an uphill battle. Jodan always threatens men so you want to have low hands to enforce jodan to strike men and protecting your kote. However if you want to apply basic strategies like men kaeshi men you must raise the hands on opponents movement. This opens up kote again which means if you react too much like that your kote will get hit regardless. Now you can try to have high hands and be aware of the kote to do kote kaeshi men which is probably safer. In general though you need a much higher level to beat any decent jodan as this classic kote is a huge trap. Kote nuki men is a thing and its the most predictable way to approach jodan. Also if you are not used to that kote it can be difficult to actually make it an ippon against jodan.

What i can see is an empty kote and it sounds like mengane. Ofc i dont want to be rude it seems like a right left renzoku waza (kote men) although it makes no sense in my head to do right left when left right actually is a potential threatening move. Attacking "kote" to the right is a dangerous way to receive debana men and results in 0 pressure other than someone raising hands because you moved. Looking more closely it resembles more like a men men renzoku waza. However again for a men your intentions are pretty weak due to the first non-threatening movement. You dont attack the shinai, you dont threaten men or kote and your movement doesnt suggest any kind of commitment. I would probably just step back when i see sth like this. If you would do this much more sharply it could actually threaten stronger opponents. Although i dont see much of your opponent i dont really feel much resistance. Hes either a beginner, low dan or relaxed older guy.

Just thinking overally the 1st debana kote looks better than the 2nd one.
