Shinai Explorations Classic Moments-The Truth Inside

[MatheusRebelo]

the style of fighting is very strange for me a kendoist but u guys have skills.... try to use a bogu to dont get hurt....

[ofnir123]

man I watch this vid at least once a week now, even though I put it in my faves like 3 years ago... brings back good memories

[axonian]

@ofnir123 thanks man - yeah the good old days:)

when dave was in his prime and anton had desire to fight.

thanks for watching

[Vykier]

mann... i wish i had someone to practice with...

[axonian]

i know the feeling - its hard when good friends who desire the same things are not around. i hope you find some like minded people to do what you enjoy

[Vykier]

And what places... i mean wow... great vid axo... really enjoyed it. Atleast i'd find like minded people on the net... cheers to that... keep postin.

Peace

while i can see that some of this is just swing-around carelessness, if you look into it, you see a great eloquence to it, also some very interesting combonations that i think id like to try out for myself!! thanks for all your work!

[axonian]

thank you for your comment it has been agreat journey for me and my shinai family! it has always been about spiritual expression amongst friends! the aproach is a flow one - to be more accurate in striking would lead to more pain but to go all out and develope a personal style in flow can bring forth some truely amazing moments not to mention the adaptation that results in a side effect of skill developement.

[puppysushi]

to all kendokas-just because a person uses a shinai or bogu dosent mean its kendo nor does it have to be -there are lots of different fighting styles from all over the world,all are valid.

remember kendo is a sport not a martial art or combat fighting system ,it is designed so your opponent doesnt get hurt;in martial arts,the opponent does!

if your training sword work you might as well use kendo equipment it protects your training partner,you might use other equipment from other contact sports .

[ShinobiMystic]

I totally agree friend. I do lots of Kendo and find their moves to be helpful for counter attacking from various angles.

[axonian]

oh by the way- who exactly are you to tell others that what they love to do is pointless or meaningless? lol both your comments are designed to do only one thing........

i take my words back when i said i apriciate your comments!!!!!!!!!

you are as MUCH a MONKEY as you say we are...lol

[axonian]

sice attemp on trying to explain how much you know of what we are doing! 1 thing> in real life people dont carryswords anymore- sticks short or long are more realistic to know how to use- also dont you think that if we were intended to hurt one another it would look different? anyways i was going to write a whole lot but i realize sense you are a pro there is no point:) once again thanks for your comment and thoughts but your point of view wont effect the spirit and its own knowingness!

[axonian]

kendo videos on youtube? your joking right?

well we apriciate your comment- also star wars is a staged fighting movie for f&&k sakes- not what we are doing-anyways you seem to be missing to point so it doesnt matter!

thanks for comment!

[ADD8oi]

this video is awesome, i feel the need to start up official sword training, i just go into the woods with my friend, and we goof around but its pretty fast, ill seee if i can tape it

[axonian]

thanks:) glad you think so! keep up the training and would be great to see:)

[ofnir123]

some may look at this and tell: "they fight like retard" or anything like this.

believe me: sword fighting is REALLY HARD to get a grip of, and even tougher to get enough focus to do it fast without getting hit or just striking without any goal.

it took me 3 years just to get a respectable level (learn the handling and all) and about 2 years to get faster and perfect my technique.

it'sworth the waiting though: doin' it with someone who's good too will bring you so much fun.

[axonian]

i wouldnt really care who thinks what of our fighting its more for us then just fighting:) and the hard hits and pain and time we put into it makes any negative thought form non effective! and when i see this video my mouth opens up because of the amazing experience we shared and the skill it takes to do it like we do and like no one else does it and never will!

[axonian]

naw man- nothing to be sorry for:) thanks for the comment! we just got back from another adventure full of great moments!

take care!

max
