I don't exactly understand why they are basicly only tipping each others Kendos during the fight? Is it for like preperation for the actual move?

[@PaulHBShin]

Not quite sure what you mean by "tipping each others Kendos." Can you elaborate?

[@Slyngbom]

I know it’s been 3 years... but you meant shinai right?
