Ippon and Yukodatotsu ..The difference

Inoue Yoshihiko Hanshi
Inoue Sensei has a close relationship with the Auckland Kendo Club and New Zealand Kendo in general , he has visited us over 12 times in the last 15 years . He is such a great communicator. His knowledge of all things Kendo is well known both in Japan and in many countries through out the world .
The Sensei is 84 year old this year (2014) and is still present at every Keiko at the Chion Kenshu Kan dojo here in Yaizu City , Shizuoka.
I am hoping this series of Videos will assist Kenshi everywhere and give them a rare chance to hear the opinions and wisdom of an extremely experienced Kendo teacher .
The Sensei has written many books in his time and one has been translated and published by Alex Bennett and the Kendo World Team . If you have a chance and want to understand deeply the meaning behind the Nihon Kendo Kata then read Kendo Kata: Essence and Application
I hope to produce over time a number of these video with material I am collecting during my time in Yaizu . I have had the pleasure of learning Kendo for the last 22 years or my 33 year Kendo career under the guidance of Inoue Sensei . Even though most of my time is spent in Japan these days my home dojo is The Auckland Kendo Club. Please feel free to visit our site and check out our facebook page . Thank you .

He is so soft spoken that I couldn't even hear him, but his words are full of wisdom. I will try to commit 100% to my strikes from now on. Thank you for posting this.

The comments made by Sensei define perfectly the 'heart of Kendo' - the singularity of each 'meeting' with life or death as the only outcome. Simply superb

[@kendro101]

Most Insightful explanation! All too often I fall short for false gain. 100% Commitment from now on!

I don't pretend I have understood anything but I am sure that it is great wisdom and it is your duty to spread and preserve this wisdom Mr Sayer.
