I have a type 30 bayonet and theres a reason only the upper half/third is sharpened. Its meant to be a thrusting stabbing weapon. Not really used for slashing.
In cut - focused systems you still generally want to hit with the last 1/3 of the blade anyway (or at least the top half), due to the area providing the best force transfer (in general the further the better until it becomes unreasonable and only scratches the target)
Would be fantastic to see Tankendo open up in Australia/Melbourne. I would certainly give it a good try.

Tankendo...for me it's like fencing + knife combat..

I just noticed he is wearing naginata kote with a seperate finger. I wonder if that is part of tankendo or if it is just his personal selection.
No, just took the wrong bogu bag that morning... :-) It should be regular kendo kote.
"More or less"
Self-defense forces... I see.
Just like the Jukendo, this one is much more like a modern army flight rather than a martial art form.
It is both. Don't be so closed minded
This is like kendo but with a Tanto.
European sabre?
That's a Wakizashi
No, it is not.
Da Sword Of Gork No...This is Kodachi(short sword) !
It means short sword. reference to watch a movie "Tasogare Seibei" or "Twilight Samurai" in English.
