ive been blade fighting for a long time, i just gaught a pair of kendo practice swords, the only problem with that training is that if you ever used a katana or ninjato you find youre strikes are off balance because of wieght change.
@Scourgeoftheearth - So you just now got a pair of shinai and you now know everything there is to know about kendo.. or at least enough to tell us, who've practiced it for about 30 years what's wrong with it. hmmm...
@insanemax21 I don't think you can be quiet in kendo. Since I think you need to shout what part of the body of the enemy you're hitting and the name of your move.
I teach myself, yeah I'd like to have a teacher in person but so far I've done okay with just instructional videos. Hey my towns Tai Kwon Doe dojo teaches kendo do you usually have to know other martial arts first?
You don't need to have any prior martial arts experience to practice kendo. Check the All US Kendo Federation (AUSKF) page for a list of dojos in your state.
Ive been doing it a year and i just want to sa its the best thing i've ever done and I am moving to Japan when im older to improve. Thanks to my sensei's Kunio and Gary
That's part of the drill. It's called kakarigeiko and when you're on the receiving end, you open various targets for the other person to hit as fast as they can.
why the fuck are they screaming like retards omfg -_-
