Girls have some advantage because of their smaller bodies. They get more speed than guys. That's why I prefer having some muscle, but still keeping a thin body. It makes me more physically prepared.
"lol girls can never take guys on because physically they are inferior by design and--WTF??!*Whack!* AAAAAUUHHH!!! *whack, whack, smack!!* She's everywhere!! sombodeh HEEELP!!"
no ofense but im sorry lmao to a girl im crying of laughter oh man rofl but i understnd you were maybe holding back or perhaps destracted by her beauty
@DarkBlaze1000 girls often are fast in kendo because of their feet movement. Most people in my class are girls and I say they are very talented at the sport.
This is a tough test for a guy if you outwiegh a female opponent significantly. Go 110% and you look like a tryhard bully. Yet if you do not go 100% your opponent has the advantage. Whenever I'm in this situation, facing a much smaller opponent I go for the fastest small men I can pull off. But I lay off on the taiatari!
I've had big 6 foot tall champion kendoka do the same to me so I've been in Kendo girls shoes too.

they're movements r too big and easy to figure out... (and the big person looks impossible to move jksXD) and the smaller person (no offence) shakes her sword (i dunno what to call it in english... i learned it in korean) too much, therefore not able to strike whenever she chooses. although many of u might disagree, the statistics r proving my point. look at all the people that won with one hit moves. they dont shake they're sword (there it is again XD)
The girl is better :D, she's got better kiai and more of an offensive stance, DONT go back , don't let people push you around , you're bigger so just stay where you are! try moving around a bit, like she's doing, try trovoking her into men and then smack her with a debana kote! :D
I'll tell you the problem. It's probably not your level of training or your striking technique that is at fault. It is the lack of will power and follow through and conviction in your strikes. Make EVERY strike as if you are trying to kill you oponent with the sword in your hand. Don't just half heartedly attack. And when you do strike, make sure your ki-ai is loud, strong and does not fade. Ganbarre!
@rjhunter3789 seriously dude????? holy crap! I could see her fighting spirit explode at the right momments, and at the counter BAM! your would explode as well , very evenly matched.
yea, I am pretty new, with less than 1 year training and 1 day a week. also, this is only my 2nd taikai. thanks for your critque, I appreciate your comments
I didn't find "ur strikes" obvious. What I did notice is your stance. I saw your back wasn't straight during sonkyo, nor during the match. Maybe you could be little more firm in your zanshin. Eg:around 1min 55, you do a nuki men, but the kiai came after the strike and there was no zanshin, judging from your posture, you could probably establish a good fumi komi and a decent kiai.
These are just observations from a go kyu working towards yon kyu.
whoo girls rule!!

Is it allowed to use one hand in kendo, or do kendo-practitioners simply don't use it because it's less good/powerful?

cool girl, remind me of my ex captain in kendo.. :D.
Her kikentaichi is good.
Yo akai red senshi, you should kiai more, it might have nullify the strike in that last men. I think it was a simultaneous men strike.
The cut lack spirit, but not bad, you are a decent player :D
