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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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 :)

Thank you for your instructions about the basic movement of Kendo.
I have a basic question.
What is the reason that we should do Haya-suburi and what is the positive point by learning this movement ???
I really do not know about the meaning and reason yet...
Please, let me know the reason.
Thank you,

"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

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...

in all my kendo classes, I have never seen someone jump back and forth with both feet together. I wish I had though, that would be funny

walatalalaw 3 years ago
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!
