I have practiced Kendo and YEs, that's for sure, this is the FIRST KENDO KATA IPPON ME... great video indeed ...shows the real technique...and basic points to make it in a good manner.

[silkyjohns0n]

I have this DVD, does anyone know of an english subtitle file for it? i know there is no subtitle originaly

[ashley113587]

omg they are so good !!!! :)

[6shige9]

I'm practicing kendo kata for 1 kkyu promotion, so I really appreciate the video. Thank you so much!!!

[M1ANS]

I was hoping to learn kendo, but I've been thinking about whether it's

what I'm really hoping it'll be. If they only use

the shinai (Which from photos I was under the

impression that it's a straight, round stick

built from bamboo and does not imitate the

katana in any way) then it doesen't seem like

it's based off old japanese swordsmanship

in that in the real thing you block with the back, and strike with the edge. Do they use bokken

at all during kata, or are shinais mainly for competitions?

[jessiepricklebush]

you would be better to learn iaido

[JeffDeBiase]

@M1ANS

Yes they use bokken during kata, not shinai. Also, there have been historically "straight" Japanese swords, so the shinai is not entirely inaccurate to the real life practice of Japanese swordsmanship.

Kendo is very physically demanding so if you are looking for a good work out that's your ticket.

[sleethmitchel]

kendo is a sport based on a stylized form of fighting. the strikes are done with focus and form or they don't count. (you won't get the point if you slap with the side of the shinai.) be thankful the

kumite is done with the shinai rather than the bokken. i wish i were still taking kendo.

[LiutendantJack777]

what you are looking for is kenjutsu.

[KiraDevilSame]

you be scolded by the sensei if you even consider saying that the shinai isn't in anyway like the katana.

The shinai doesn't only symbolize a katana. I hear one sensei say before if you consider the shinai not the same as a katana apparently you don't know how to use a shinai nor katana too.

I was also taught that we can only be stronger if i treat it as real blade.

Really, don't go into kendo if you really think the shinai isn't a sword. That had be bad manners

[deidarabankai]

you seem to know something about kendo so i would like to ask u something:

IS there an age limit to what someone can not start kendo anymore??

[KiraDevilSame]

no problem at all. Kendo is for all ages

There is same kids as small as 4 starting kendo. I even lose to a primary school kid when i first start kendo.

I also know one pretty senior member, he even have kids as old as me and a career, he start around in his late thirties but he still is capable of training.

It's just that you will see younger ppl and older ppl figthing style is very different. While most eight dan are even over 50, and even 70 years old ppl can fight. So any age can train

[deidarabankai]

ok thx.then I have one more question:

Would it be better to train Kendo or Iaido??

^^

[KiraDevilSame]

hmm depends on what you want actually, i know one sensei who teaches both kendo and iaido but he only trust few people to take his lesson. It has a more stricter discipline as the sword even though blunt edge must be handled carefully and iaido is about precision controlling of a weapon

Kendo is more physical, more like how you practice going for a battle, and you can go all out against your opponenent during training without hurting them badly . So it can train both physically and mentally

[Cropsgrinder]

Hehe, damn. Doing ipponme with a shinken, or any kata for that matter...

[Aektan]

why would you do that? well if you are not 5 th dan, then it wont matter with a shinken or not

[ChaoticAnamnesis]

I recently started practicing kendo (about a year ago i believe) and our sensei explained to us how each kata has a meaning, or story to it. That's ok, but i'd like to ask you, fellow kendo practitioners, what is the symbolism, or meaning, if you will, of sonkyo?

[Omgausername6]

sonkyo was just a traditional move to show that both kenshi were ready to fight, i dont know if it has any significance other than that

[ChaoticAnamnesis]

I recently heard that it is a sort of "standing" seiza, as it would be hard to do a sitting position what with the bogu and all..

[raven1234]

exactly, martial arts, food, art are archetypes of any civilization. Cultures influence each others, that's just the way it is. No one copy from no one. You dicks need to look at the world differently. Ah~ Human stupidity never fails to impress.

[M1ANS]

What's an archetype?

[dickyheadfall]

japanese kimono is copy of Chinese hanfu.

japanese udon invented by china.

japanese gyoja invented by china.

japanese sushi derived from china.

Japanese Kendo derived from china.

Japanese Tea ceremony invented by china.

Japanese Bonsai derived from china.

Japanese Origami derived from china.

// Shame on you, Jap! Japan is copycat country.

[Liloupop56]

honte à eux! saloperie de chinois qui ne respecter rien!!! vous bafouer les droits de l'hom, des animaux bande dde sauvage!

FREE TIBET!!!!

[Ryokushindo]

Go play somewhere else buddy, we talk kendo here.

[outingggman]

again u got it wrong, they might look alike but its standards or quite different and sushi was developed in japan because they live in an island and there's no speck of form of kendo in china

[lionhartpld]

Would very much like to see even 1 piece of evidence to suggest Kendo was derived from China. I think most people know thinks like gyoza were originally chinese, but no one is trying to pretend that they arent. There are plenty of foods that are created in other countries that are eaten in China, does this make China a copycat country?

[nezumigaki]

Communism is derived from USSR.

Chinese assault rifle CV-47 was invented by USSR

Mig-15 is derived from USSR

Mao Zedong is derived from Stalin.(USSR)

China is copycat country.

Shame on you china!

much<3

[big5fgd]

kendo is japanese...LOOSER!

[nezumigaki]

Don't get you're point mate,never mentioned anything about kendo being related to china.I'm a 2nd kyu kendoka you prat.And to everyone else I was merely poking fun.

[MichaelBerthelsen]

I like China, and know that a lot of the Japanese traditional culture have origins in China.

But don't call it copies. The Japanese have worked hard to develop it, and have in that way made it Japanese style, not Chinese.

You sound Chinese. Don't be too proud of your own country to admit that other's can improve what you have done.

But I really like Chinese traditional culture, so don't missunderstand what I mean.

[outingggman]

i swear 2 god u got like 6 of those wrong

[traditioneelaikido]

Exellente video et très didactique.

Je voudrais voir le KATA complet.

[Ryokushindo]

Mon cher ami, c'est le premier kata au complet. Les katas de kendo sont très courts.

[traditioneleaikido]

C'est bizarre, rien au Kodashi à mon avis tu te trompe mon ami..

Cela doit être seulement les mouvements pour le Shodan.. Vas voir sur mon site les 10 mouvements façon ancienne.

Mais bon tout ceci n'est pas important, l'essentiel c'est que même si ils ne font qu'un ou deux mouvements ce soit parfait.

Amitiés Budo du Murashige ryu

[Liloupop56]

kestion con, dans equilibrium, kel genre d'art martiaux ils utilisent, je sui ceinture maron de karaté, mai il ma sembler kil utilisé une autre forme de conbat. Keske c?

[Feersin]

Ryokushindo à raison.

Cette vidéo est bien la vidéo du 1er kata (iponme) en entier (sans le salut initial et final) et comme il l'a dit chaque kata est très cours, à peu prés 30 sec voir moins ( je suis très mauvais pour les estimations).

Le kendo est composé de 10 katas différents

dont 7 au bokken et 3 au kodachi mais il n'y pas un seul katas qui regroupent l'ensemble des mouvements des 10 katas.

[Feersin]

Et pour ceux qui cherchent a voir tout les katas en vidéo voila les noms pour vous aider dans vos recherches: Kata au bokken 1er Kata : IPONME 2ème Kata : NIHONME 3ème Kata : SAMBONME 4ème Kata : YONHONME 5ème Kata : GOHONME 6ème Kata : ROPPONME 7ème Kata : NANAHONME Kata au kodachi 8ème Kata : KODACHI IPONME 9ème Kata : KODACHI NIHONME 10ème Kata : KODACHI SAMBONME

[spermatos]

Simple, mais efficace!!!

[YamamotoKansuke1501]

As for using Katana in Kata, sometimes they do, as i said Brave sods..

BTW You can tell if its a real Katana or bokken by the presence or absence (as in this case) of a saya

[zeo666]

Yes i know, in this video its bokken, that sure, but sometimes, when you are 7th dan i think (i don't remember) you can use katana!

I don't do kata with a 8th dan, he just was the teacher! In paris last month we have got the visite of 17 8th dan. that was realy wonderfull. I've got actually the armor and i am 2nd kyu. And you ?

Ho and all kata of kendo are call by the znkr : "kendo nihon kata" xD i don't know why.

[YamamotoKansuke1501]

You say you practice with an 8th Dan, that impressive, as 8th is now the highest grade you can get since they shut down grades 9 and 10. Is the man your Sensei ? You must be very advanced in Kendo to even have the Honour of taking on a 8 Dan.

[YamamotoKansuke1501]

Regarding the weapons...pause the footage at 1 min 40 secs and you can clearly see that the weapon is a bokken, trust me on this, i have collected Katana for decades and never have seen one with such "Girth"

[YamamotoKansuke1501]

You have described the above kata as "the first kendo nihon kata" Which translated means

"the first kendo japanese kata"

As i said, i am new but all katas are japanese therefore "Nihon".......

[Slastje]

This set of kata just has the name Nihon Kendo Kata, the one you are talking about is the Kihon Kendo Kata, wich is a newer set of kata for beginners showing all the basic techniques. The two are totally different. There is no such thing as the first kata, as there are many different sets of kata.

[YamamotoKansuke1501]

O.K., maybe i got the wrong end of the stick here, I am very new at Kendo and am currently practicing Bokuto Ni Yoru Kendo Kihon-waza Keiko-ho, which is the very first Kata that beginners learn.

[bealz]

Learn what the hell you're talking about before opening your mouth.

[YamamotoKansuke1501]

Firstly, i dont think this is the first Kata in Kendo, certainly not from the beginning anyway.

Secondly, A real Katana??, i dont think so...Brave sods if they do. No they are bokken.

For the first (Kihon) kata for kendo, you can find it in my kendo section on my page.

[zeo666]

haha it's a joke ?

I practice kendo and i can tell you it's the first kendo nihon kata, i do it with 8th japanese dan so i think it's thrue...

And when you 've got a high grade on kendo you can pass evalutation with a katana and not a bokken.

[Waazzaahhh]

@zeo666 Yes but it's not from the beginning, is it?

[hazaraku]

they're using bokken, right? kinda hard to say because of quality and lighting weather it's bokken or katana...Nice vid btw

[xtothac]

Excellent video!

These will really help.

(He basically says this is what you shouldnt do and this is how it should be, too much to bother to translate.. And you can understand it without understanding japanese if you have basic kendo training and have trained kendo kata before...)

[zeo666]

and what does he say ? please =)

[skyblue2296]

I understand japanese

[falada]

great! a shame that it's not subbed...
