  • oooh I understand now, I do poorly haya suburi :)) arigato gozaimasu, I try more :D

  • He's moving so fast that my computer can't keep up XD

  • =0 i wanna learn kendo!

  • Never have I heard a Japanese with such an amazing Australian accent =D

  • very nice, big haya subori wow...

  • Yep Men, Kote, Do are the name of the armour (bogu) it is also the target points. In Japanese the Men protects kao (face) and kata (shoulder). Kote protects te (hand) and ude (arm). Do protects mune (chest) and onaka (stomach). Finally tare protects sokeibu (your lower part) and ashi (leg). Just don't go mixing up the name of the bogu with name of body parts in Japanese.

  • this hurts the back of my leg muclecs

  • Thank you for the video and the good advice.

  • wow ! finally i understand Haya Suburi!!

    Thanks !

  • Your videos are very helpful, thanks!

  • I have a question is 100 swings each arm to many I mean I know it's a lot but I'm doing it a lot slower and trying to build up muscle mass

  • @pyrosinugami only one hundred at a time??? try more :)

  • Comment removed

  • great videos.

  • "Men" is the Japanese word for face(mask). Head is Atama, stomach is Onaka and hands are Te.

    Men, Do, Kote and Tare are the names of the parts of armour I think

  • I always seem to lose my balance in a few seconds when doing haya-suburi. Thanks for the video!

  • i really want to do kendo... its soo inspiring but my mom wont let me :P but ill make her let me do it some day :D

  • you should, kendo is good both physically and mentally at all ages of life, algo it is by no means inherently violent (wich is the belief that your mom may have and that keeps her from letting you start).

  • when i see this video it helps you remind that the hand is faster than the eye. Also this movement is so hard on the wrists and cardio, this is one of the best warm up movements i've tried so far.

  • you mean than the camera?

  • Every time I do this my balance gets thrown off, and I move left or right. Then I try to get back, and fear I'll trip over myself...

  • I seem to have the problem of wanting to "Hop" when I do this. My sensei is always getting mad at me for that haha! I need to learn to slide more, thanks a bunch!

  • strangely enough hopping is the only way i can get anywhere near proper haya suburi (though i only started trying last night) lol.

  • I wish i had a teatcher like you in my town, becose you are verry inspiring.I will watch all your videos and learn all your moves :)

  • helpful!!

  • Very helpful, all of your videos are awesome, I remember the first day in Kendo I watched everyone do this quietly standing not knowing what to do, now I think I can do this much easier, lol, thanks.

  • MEN is head . KOTE is ,as you say, the wrists/ lower part of forearm. DO is a cut across the HARA (abdomen). TSUKI actually means thrust (in kendo,to the throat) MEN , KOTE and DO are the names of the equipment protecting their respective areas . the TSUKI DARE is the part of the men that you aim for when you execute TSUKI.

  • Thanks for your explanation.

  • Thank YOU sensei for your helpful videos. I used to be a student at Mudokwan more than 5 years ago.

  • you're basicaly right, the men is the head or the helmet, but I'm not quite sure which one. and for further knowledge, the hands or wrists are kote, the stomach is do and the throat is called tsuki. still, I'm not sure if those are the names of the body parts or the armor protecting them

  • Basically, they are the names of the armour parts. But tsuki, as rclarked says, it is the tsuki dare is the name of the protection.

    Do also means "trunk" (body). So there you go!

  • I heard you used 'men' but didn't told what it means, so, if I am right (and using some common sense), 'men' refers to the helmet covering the head, or the head itself. Please correct me if I'm wrong and thanks for yet another instructional video, the footwork is still difficult to achieve and to understand, but I caught must of it and will try to practice it properly.

  • Men is actually mean "face". And it also means a "mask". However, head is ok. If you are speaking to a Japanese and use "men" referring to "head", he/she will not understand what you mean by "men". I just wanted to warn you that :)
