[DarkNoddy]

[DreamChibi]

@DarkNoddy Thanks so much! :)

[Petrasius]

[paladindarknite]

Eishin Ryu Iaido For The Win! !!

[jpzanette]

Amazing video, even with the bad quality

Could you please say What music is on it?

[OMGIvebeencatnapped]

@jpzanette it's from a belgian band called 'de la vega'

[AlbeLowns]

music doesnt do the footage justice. imo change would make it much more appealing to watch.

[Zeruello]

I like it! But... this is a fanmade or the original music video of the song?

[DreamChibi]

@Zeruello This is a fanmade :)

[Zeruello]

@DreamChibi Then my compliments! The images suit perfectly the rhythm of the music.

[s2Tsukis2]

Much low tecnique ^^'

I'm Kendo 3° Dan and i duno why people make movies... when dont know basic fundaments of Kendo... or Bushido.... ^^

[GespenstJagerTR]

@junjii yep you are right. patience is the key in kendo ( or other sword involving arts). if you are being impatient and attack first, your opponent have the advantage. but if your opponent absentminded you can win with first attack(it's a dangerous gamble:) )..

ps: sorry for bad english :)

[junjii]

im not a kendoka, judging from this video, kendo is a relaxing art. from the time you put on your armor to the duel itself. you gotta have clear mind and some level of patience to pull a successful move.

[TrangKaze]

@junjii No it's actually not relaxing at all. When you go to a real match, or even just practising, it's really intense and you have to shout, your arms must lift the sword quick and perform a cut correctly, your feet also must stump and push your body forward. Gosh, I love Kendo, best sport in the world (in my opinion)

[xTehxScreamox]

Kendo and rock, yes. they are two of the greatest things on earth. but its not jsut those two... can't forget the ganja :P

[MardyBum93]

it was 'hard to see' with that 240p..........

[DreamChibi]

@MardyBum93 Okay, try to make HD vid with windows movie maker :P

[Lyray]

Rolf. XD

I'm a Kendoka too. XD And This is the best sport in the world. ^^

[podman27]

@Lyray

So, where do i go if i want the sort of fighting they have in movies. No disrespect, but this seems kind of boring. Each fight lasts under 2 seconds? I'd rather see combo's, blocks, and full swings than two guys trying to tap each other on the head. Or dose kendo have those too?

[Lyray]

@podman27

Its all right. You say, this sport is boring. You are right, if you don't do that sport. It's boring, like the biathlon, or the speed skateing. But if you are a Kendoka, you enjoy the motion. You enjoy the silence, in your head. Couse you dont plan the next attack. Its comeing for instinct.

Its a kind of art. A lots of people dont like it. But its all right. If someone wants to see spectacular fights, find some video for capoeira. Capoeira fights are amzing, I think. :)

[DreamChibi]

@Lyray I absolutely agree with you! :)

[vealicle1]

@podman27

You should see if you can find a course on stage/theatrical combat. The kind of fighting you usually see in movies is not at all realistic. It is more like dance. Kendo and Western are all about efficiency of movement and timing, not about flare. If you tried the stuff in most movies, you would be dead in a real sword fight. Possibly, if all you want is more parrying, you could try eskrima, but you still won't get spin attacks or leaping chops.

[belannaer1]

hehehehe

I'm a Kendoka too, and i DO love this video :P

If anyone find it in better resolution, please send me a pvt!!!

It's awesome :D

[rmgbbel]

Hmmm, not the original song... (I know, you're all thinking "captain obvious"....)

But it truly is a nice video feat. kendo!

Anyway, the kendokas in this video are from the dojo I've been doing kendo in for 10 years!

I'm glad so many people enjoy it!

[AtsushiHayami]

Iaidoka here :), nice Video mate love it ;)

[Mr9447753]

@xxxxLEADERxxxx hard to see - five finger death punch. greatest band ever lmao

[lulu60105]

quisiera experimentar un día un que sea este arte

[TheThomasLandry]

I will try to learn kendo when I do foreign exchange next year :3

[k0ns0l3]

Where is this video from? I just came from the ABKF Winter Seminar and I found this video which features people that were there...!

[MatheusRebelo]

kendo and rock, two of the best things on earth

[DreamChibi]

@MatheusRebelo Yeah! I agree :D

[laughinggravy]

@MatheusRebelo

I've not been doing it for long, had to wait the best part of twenty years before there was a dojo open in my locale, but I'm already addicted. Hard day at work, stressed out - do a Kendo session and it's all gone. Kendo is a beautiful thing, and makes almost no sense to anyone who doesn't do it.

[TheTommyKay]

@MatheusRebelo nice point.only thing is that this is NOT rock.Its new metal.

[maverick8228]

@MatheusRebelo O yeaaa Bro I agree

[TrangKaze]

@MatheusRebelo I guess you are a Geologist who also a Kendoka then ?

[MatheusRebelo]

@TrangKaze Geologist? Are you american or something?

[ILoveAnimalsVN]

@MatheusRebelo how come Geologist made you american ? I'm vnese by the way, and yes, I don't like American at all

[MatheusRebelo]

@ILoveAnimalsVN I asked because of low intelligence of ypur joke

[paladindarknite]

@ILoveAnimalsVN Thats good, i study this Art to kill your kind over here in America

[roecaomz1]

Really cool video, i'm a kendoka too, greetings from mexico

[DarkwolfToboe]

Hmmm ... I bumped upon this video randomly and realised the Kendōka had "Gent" (a Belgian city) on their dō, which would mean they're from my own Kendo club xD I only joined the club back this august though. Also pretty sure the Jap girl on the end is member of my club :p

Weird to find this randomly. Nice vid and song though :) Shame the quality is not as good, would love to see it in 480p.

[DreamChibi]

@DarkwolfToboe How small the world is!! That's really weird :DD I used to do Kendo too.

Have a nice training! :))

[another505]

some are iaido lol

[KoRNeRd]

@another505 no

[Davedipan]

I think when you upload this (29/11/2010) I was starting my first class in Kendo.

[DreamChibi]

@Davedipan Really? Cool :D

[kagetora7tsukiyo]

crappy song.... but better then the origanol for this vid

[FenuaLoa]

Me too :-)
