--- INTRODUCTION --
Baptiste Tavernier is a Budoka, artist, and writer who currently lives in Taipei, Taiwan. Born in 1981 in France, he discovered Budo at the age of 8 when he joined the local judo club.
From Bozendo to Jukendo, he discovered and practiced a wide range of well-known and rare martial arts, particularly during his stay at the International Budo University in Chiba (Japan) for 8 years.
He regularly writes articles in the Kendo World magazine and has published a book on Miyamoto Musashi’s “35 Articles of Swordsmanship” that precede the famous Book of 5 rings.
We had the chance to meet him in early August 2017 in Tokyo for this interview.

Thank you for adding French subtitles to this video :) Will Part 1 have French subtitles uploaded as well?

[@seidobudostudies]

Possibly, but we're a little busy right now. We'll try to do it later this month.

[@stephaneunbewust5219]

Bonne vidéo, mais l'aprentissage d'un art martial pour sa propre defense reste plutot occidental puisque chez nous l'insécurité est grande. Merci pour se partage.

Jukendo like kendo, unfortunately is only a modern competitive/sport approach which lost it's true classical budo approach
