HTML-код

- One of the toughest parts of Kendo is 'fumikomi', or 'stomp strike'. This should hopefully make some interesting points for kendoka of all levels. Be sure to follow us on Facebook :)

My downstairs neighbours are so delighted with me performing this exercise.
"Rather than lift your foot really high, keep it low to the ground and move it forward, forward, forward and strike like youre a stealth fighter huging the ground avoiding radar detection from AWACS's."
Beautiful description Bennet-san😎
I remember when these videos came out ten years ago, and I still find them so vaulable. Thank you very much for the content!
@KendoWorld: Thank you for your efforts. The closest dojo is a 5-hour drive away and your tips of the week are like a lifeline for my own practice.
Oh, great intro. :-)
Great video! I'm a five months into kendo and I'm practicing fumikomi constantly. This video really clears a few things up. I'm notorious for leaning into strikes. Keep the great videos coming!
We practiced briefly years ago when I was passing through Tokyo. I think this is an excellent series.
this is really helpful!! nice this will help me understand the principle!
Thank you for the video!
I love your analogy of the stealth fighter! :D
Muy buena recomendación mil gracias
Incredibly helpful!! Thanks a lot :)
Thank you, sensei
thank you so much
Good work again :)
@ShuyuKoukin Gidday, a valid cut or 'yoku datotsu' in Kendo actually has a couple more requirements than just 'touching'. Its usually required that you must strike at the correct distance with sufficient force in high spirit. We will definitely give a better description in one of our upcoming videos as we are looking to start filming 'season 2' of TOTW this April.
Thanks
Keep up the good work.
Very helpful video! Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany. :-)
I found that I was leaning forwards too much and tensing my shoulders reflexively. When I started pushing forwards with my hips instead, I could relax my shoulders and keep my balance much better.
thanks for the tip
thanks you very much!!!
Very Clear Demonstration, Gud Vid!
Thx again for this nice video.
I will try to get that in the next training.
My biggest problem is that every time i make a Fumikomiashi, i do a extra step with my left food in, as result i always or most of it to near on my opponent. I know it's only the head :) but it is so difficult to train this away :)
It's hard to see the footwork when the girl on the right's hakama is so close to the ground~~ but super helpful video thank you guys^^
Hmm, interesting. What I usually say when practicing is bring the leg up higher, and place it out as far as possible. Don't bend forward, keep the back straight, but really reach with the body, as if someone's pulling your chest. Many people push forward with their hips or their shoulders, but I was always told to move from the chest. Once the student gets the motion and feel of an exaggerated fumikomi, I shorten it to a standard fumikomi like it's shown here with the foot hugging the floor.
Shodan: Not quite yet, I've only been practicing about a year and participated in my first testing last October.
Oh gotcha, I thought you were meaning the front foot hurting which is from landing too far onto the toes. Good stuff in figuring it out !
You must be gearing up for shodan now right ?
hey everybody, i have a question...
how can i get faster to my oponent so he cant counter attack me ? if i for example are trying to strike a men.I think the key is wat he said about the left foot following quickly as posible after your right foot stamped on the ground but i dont know because i tried it some times at home and he makes me feel so stiff. Has anny body anny advice for me or opinion ? Thanks
@mmacconn069 Too bad we have to try and recruit more for season 2 :(
좋아요
Actually, a question. The last few weeks of constant fumikomi has caused a great deal of pain in the toes of my left foot. Any idea what may be causing this?
This might actually help any martial artist on the topic of stepping in or "through". Often enough I see people stepping in with a bent upper body and therefore weakening... everything.
when the next "Tip of the Week"?
How much you got?
@zbvm I think Fumikomi and Surikomi are effecticely the same, like a split step! just like alot of other techniques that have different names but same meanings dependant on the particular art, in this case Fumikomi a swordsmanship terminology and Surikomi/Suriashi being a Karate terminology =) I get what ya mean tho about Fumikomi = 2 x Suriashi...
Is this Ron bennet? from sydney Kendo Club? KendoWorld
This is Alex Bennett from NZ
It's time to clean the floor !
No worries! The pain was caused by the poor technique of pushing off the tips of my toes instead of the ball of my foot.
Sorry I guess Im too late in getting back to you !
Fumikomi = 2 x Suriashi?
Haha! How much is the bikini version?^^
