    Really great fight. You can feel the tension. The patience is incredible for both opponents. Trying to find the perfect opening for each movement. Ready to counter any incoming attack.
    You could tell that if one of them made a move too early, they would have lost.
    This is what kendo is about. Not flashy swordplay. It's about ending the battle with one clean, perfect, and skillful strike.

      Yes apparently sword fighting in real life is nothing like what you see in movies. One wrong move and you're dead, so the less moves you make the lower the chance of error.

    Kunitomo is such a beast. I admire him alot. He must be one of the cleanest kendoka japan has. But i feel he is a bit underrated in japan. I could be wrong but its just the way i feel. For example why didnt he make the cut for japanese national team ? Maybe he doesnt want to.

    • @user-ir7os6wh1w
      @user-ir7os6wh1w 3 года назад +3

      Japanese here, the ZNKR helds multiple training camps for top level kendoka each year. During these camps they will hold internal shiais to determine who's going to present Japan during upcoming events like the World Kendo Championship. Kunitomo was invited each time (just as Umegatani, Murakami, Tsuchitani etc.) but others were simply better (mind the 2018 WKC happened before he won the AJKC). But he was accompanying the team each time during the last two championships just like the other team members. So basically he is a national team member but not a fighter (yet).

    I watch this and then watch my sword fight videos from the past, I feel like a slug by comparison, their strikes are so quick that I'm a little impressed by the camera being of such a quality not to blur the shinai movements at all. I am curious though if someone can help me learn how they score hits... several times the 'blades' are resting against the neck, arms, and there was even several body strikes and stabs/jabs, but none of them counted as hits... so can someone help me understand the scoring rules?

    • @LoïsCallec
      @LoïsCallec 7 лет назад +4

      The points is not strikes because the menace and the "Zanshin" (the concentration and vigilance all around of a offensive action) is stop and not enough energy for the arbiters raise them flag for take the points. It's difficult for a no member of practise kendo but if you are another question asked me! I'm answer you

    • @annabellachang
      @annabellachang 7 лет назад +9

      Scoring only on - face, throat, arm and stomach(bogu covered), the rest not count, scoring also depends on where your "Shinai" (bamboo sword) hits on the opponent, only the upper part of shinai with actual position count...

    • @privatekarateka3745
      @privatekarateka3745 7 лет назад +6

      DreamsAreMorbid on top of the previous comment, a point only counts, when three things are present, the contact of the shinai on the proper area, a proper kiai or shout, and a good fumikomi or stamp with the foot, if all of this is executed properly and at exactly the same time, then it's a point. There's some minor details in the requirements but those three are essential.

    • @lewismcdermott3024
      @lewismcdermott3024 15 дней назад +1

      The kiai after the strike is both an element of expressing zanshin (so trying to sell the cut to the shinpan) but also a psychological element - if your kiai can unsettle or otherwise psych out your opponent just enough so that they flinch or make a mistake then you've got an opportunity to win.

    • @amaurythewarrior
      @amaurythewarrior 5 месяцев назад +5

      well to sum it up, the energy and attitude is important, you have to maintain a constant threat, and show your resolve, and while striking you have to shout the target you're striking (you can't just hit the opponent anywhere you like). so the hit, the foot and shout have to be synchronized. but there must be plenty of kendo introduction videos who explain it MUCH better.

    • @Ianmar1
      @Ianmar1 3 месяца назад +3

      They scream for the same reason that they grunt in tennis, weightlifting, and muay thai: it tightens the core, stabilizes the upper body, regulates the breath, and sharpens focus. In boxing they hiss for a similar effect, but without dislodging the jaw which makes it vulnerable.

      yes! otherwise, it woudve been a men point for red.
      just a trivia: When a kendoka hit, he doesnt go all the way through and try to slash or hurt the partner, the right hand stops the swing. thats just how a proper swing is made so as to not hurt your sparring partner. its also important to treat your partner as a "partner" instead of opponent. respect must be maintained all throughout the spar, and gratitude must be shown for allowing you to execute your waza or techniques to the partner
