kendo tsuki

[Wapajama99]

It's awesome because even though i don't speak japanese i understand what he is saying

[KarateGruber]

Great!

[binuzian]

is it okay to try tsuki on senior when in shiai?. my friends told me that its impolite

[CaptainLutra]

@binuzian it's not when it's an ippon - hahahaha! it's a technique like any else. there is nothing impolite about that. especially in a shiai there are no such things like holding back - it's a fight. but be aware that a tsuki-ari is very hard to obtain.

[cthatshit]

@CaptainLutra yeah.....I barely see any tsuki-ari....but if theres openings then why not :P

[hologramh]

@binuzian

You can, but if you do not execute it correctly you have to accept the pay back, probably a correct tsuki.

[turboyoshi]

@binuzian some taikai have rules against mudansha, or even sometimes up to nidan, using tsuki cause they generally don't have the control to execute it safely. However, if there's no rule against it and you have the opening, then it's probably ok. However, I've been told that never use tsuki against a sensei unless you have permission. It's one of those unwritten rules.

[binuzian]

is it okay to try tsuki on seniors when in a game?

[Durandal999]

I don't care if its dangerous, i like to get people hurt, but saddly in all sports y end up get beaten, even by girls ;_;

[wanderer1125]

That still looks dangerous even with the kendo helmet. If that bamboo sword slips inside and reaches the throat, that guy is dead!

[jung567]

I seriously wish this was in english subs. I want to know how to tsuki and im 1 dan now...

[dojomania]

it's all bullshitsu



[KagaKiyomitsu]

@dojomania you dont know what your talking about. Kumdo and Kendo are fencing....it doesnt hold any sword art. Its an Art to form a better self and it teach's you to react first.

[zimonslot]

my teacher wouldnt learn us this technique because it was 'too dangerous'....

[TheDarkSide15]

When u say bad form do u mean for person doing the tsuki to lift their head or the person being tsukied?

[Jsimp0487]

... I must suck being the bitch for a tutorial video.

[ob1kendobe]

If hit with a Proper tsuki, you shouldn't get hurt at all.  The problem is, people rely on using their arms too much.

[jjnnww]

lol - wikipedia sighted as reliable source

[Keiki87]

even with protection , you still get bruise to your neck if more power tsuki , it can cause fracture to the neck bone

[dkingmomo]

he is poking him for real? wont that hurt? damn!

[lennybruce8]

he's hitting armor on the neck area. it doesnt hurt.

[alklomion]

it hurts if u accept it wrong... talking from exp

[RaiceaAndrei11]

yeah...i hate when i get a tsuki in battle....sometimes its so bad if you dont quickly put your chin in your chest that you cant breathe....well that doesent happen too often

[rainmaker604]

Japanese did not have 'hakama' - skirt pants.

[rainmaker604]

my understanding is that Kendo was introduced to Japan by Korea in ancient time.

[technovidiomaster20]

let me settle this debate ken is japanese for sword do is japanese for the way of, so kendo is japanese for the way of the sword and it is based on traditional samurai fighting. It originated in japan and was brought to korea in the 1800s. if you don't believe me go look it up on wikipedia.

[hkdmustang]

Yap, that's my understanding too. I am Korean and I've read the old MA book written in Korea around 1800s. It introduces "Japanese sword" as well as some Chinese and some original Korean sword. (overall 24 techniques).

What's described in that book (with drawings) as Japanese sword is almost identical as current Kendo.

Kendo is Japanese pronounciation of Chinese Character "Sword way", while Kumdo is Korean pronounciation for the same. In Korea, Kumdo usually means Japanese swordmanship.

[TheDarkSide15]

Hi whats a chodan? i am thinking of joining (in my country its a very small practiced sport). I watched the animee bamboo blade and thouhgt it looked intresting. If he sent you flying does that not mean he is good?

[vvvviperrrr]

Kumdo is the present Korean creation.

A Japanese samurai invaded Korea before 1800.

Japanese Kenjutsu was transmitted to Korea then.

Material of description before 1800 doesn't exist in Korea.

[teriyo2]

talking shit shut ur mouth

[kohanjin]

you should check out the Muye Dobo Tongji, written historical writings of Korean martial arts history. your knowledge seems limited to by what your sensei has conditioned you to think. no martial arts writings or recordings can be carbon dated farther back than this text. sorry, truth cannot be argued or abated.

[vvvviperrrr]

@kohanjin

The martial arts book on Korea is the one written after the samurai in Japan sends troops to Korea.

You must study the structure of KENDO.

[vvvviperrrr]

@kohanjin

Kumdo did not exist though it wrote many times.

Kumdo is the one that the South Korean imitated Kendo.

[vvvviperrrr]

@kohanjin

Kendo is Budo that makes Hokushin itto ryu a base. (Other Ryu ha is included. )

Hokushin itto ryu was born from Itto ryu.

In Itto ryu, Nen ryu is a source.

Why has Kumudo succeeded those types?

It is very strange.

As for Hokushin itto ryu, the technology is different from Shinto ryu and Kenjutsu in the In ryu system.

Why does not the technology of Shinto ryu and In ryu exist in Korea?

[vvvviperrrr]

@vvvviperrrr

Addition : Onoha itto ryu + Hokushin ittoryu

[steev5]

@vvvviperrrr Did you know Japan FINALLY ACCEPTED their genetic relationship with Korea? In the genetics world, it is common knowledge that most Japanese are Korean by lineage. So why keep hating your brother?

[vvvviperrrr]

@steev5

Everything includes almost all identical gene Japanese, a Korean and a Chinese.

It's frivolous which national gene is a point.

An Asian gene exists from the far past when Japan and Korea are established.

Your point under discussion is wrong.

I'm doing talk of traditional culture, not genetic science.

The Korean is still related to the superiority or inferiority of the gene.

It is very funny.

I am praying for the Korean to be opened from nana Sinocentrism early.

[steev5]

@vvvviperrrr Japanese, Korea, and China have very different genes. Korean DNA sequence is made up of: 40.6% Korean 21.9% Chinese 1.6% Ainu 17.4% Okinawan 18.5% Unidentified Japanese DNA sequence is made up of: 4.8% Japanese 24.2% Korean 25.8% Chinese 8.1% Ainu 16.1% Okinawan 21% Unidentified Chinese DNA sequence is made up of: 60.6% Chinese 1.5% Japanese 10.6% Korean 1.5% Ainu 10.6% Okinawan 15.2% Unidentified Source: NHA (Japanese genetics association, 2005)

[vvvviperrrr]

@kohanjin

Shinai was born from Yagyu ryu.

Bogu appeared from samurai's armor.

Why does Kumdo use those tools?

You should think.

[pailhead11]

What is the name of this sensei. I know i found some other videos of him (and i don't remember seeing "kumdo" written anywhere in them), but i can't find them now.

[debanamen2009]

He is Kazuo Furukawa Sensei from Hokkaido, who had just won 2nd place of 2009 7th All Japan Kendo Hachidan Championship. Just type "Furukawa Sensei" in search...

[OzSalvi92]

kumdo is like the korean variation of kendo, maybe thats why.

[pailhead11]

i was referring to the fact that someone wrote kumdo on a video featuring a japanese kendo sensei

[Corey91666]

great vid, the motodachi really knows what he does but quite hard to learn that technique ;)

[kingofhearts1004]

I apologize for filling up the comment column with comments unrelated to Kendo.

koks9dan. if you want to continue, let's not bother other people, who appreciate kendo.

[kingofhearts1004]

koks9dan, igo originated from China. It was initially called weiqi. If Korea copied it at least they copied it from China and not Japan.

According to 日本後紀, Chado, the concept of tea drinking, was introduced from China as well.

electronics and robotic industry originated mostly from United States. If Korea is a culture thief then so is Japan because they adopted traditions from other cultures.

[koks9dan]

dude, igo was originally from china, but it is japanese who brought it to play worldwide, it's japanese who has been improving igo techniques and deep study...

chado was introduced from china, but just at very basic base, the chado today is like almost japaense thing only...

japan adopted a lot from other countries but they *DO NOT* claim to be their culture, but korean *DO*, that's the point...

[kingofhearts1004]

Yes, Japan did contribute to strategies of go greatly. I dabble a bit in go and know few about strategies. However, I know that there are many historic go players throughout Japanese history.

Even if that is so, isn't Korea currently at the top of go world. I'm not saying this out of national pride, but simply stating the fact. (perhaps out of little national pride)

I know go came from China, the thing that's more important is getting better and making improvements.

[kingofhearts1004]

"korean imitate almost everything from japan's culture, from kendo, igo, chado, to electronics, robot industry... "

you clearly say that igo and chado are "from" Japan. If you want to go into technicality, they are technically from "china" and developed and modified in Japan. If Japan can take China's culture are modify it and claim it's "from" Japan, why can't Koreans?

[kingofhearts1004]

Go was introduced to Koreans before it was introduced to Japanese. So I don't think it's Koreans that took it from Japanese.

I will give it to you that Japan did contribute to international popularity of game go. Mostly through manga and anime, Hikaru no Go.

[MonoFlauta]

KENDO is from JAPAN, samurais invent it

[kingofhearts1004]

Should we also not call it Japanese Fencing in US. People who practice Kendo/Kumdo/Japanese Fencing all know that Kendo/Kumdo/Japanese Fencing came from Japan. It's just used to make it easy for some people to understand. When I talk to Japanese I say Kendo, when I talk to Koreans I say Kumdo, when I talk to Americans that have no idea what bogu is I say Japanese style fencing. It's soley to make it easy for people to understand.

[koks9dan]

that's right, cannot agree more, kendo must be remained calling kendo, not kumdo or gumdo or whatever, it's culture-stealing

[kingofhearts1004]

Good, accurate, and clean tsuki is really hard to pull off and isn't usually allowed to beginners (such as myself), but when done at tournament and someone gets a point for it, it looks really cool. Especially against a jodan.

[kingofhearts1004]

Instead of arguing about race, can we just appreciate how good that tsuki/ssireum was. I practice kendo and I like cross training in both Korean and Japanese style.

I can talk all day about origin of Kendo and Kumdo, but I rather practice tsuki and become good as the sensei in the video.

[koks9dan]

korean imitate almost everything from japan's culture, from kendo, igo, chado, to electronics, robot industry...

[avalon2044]

well said, LOL

is this, furukawa sensei.. eiga's sensei?

quite sharp on his strikes!

[yoonjongsuk]

lol actually kendo was created in korea as a real fighting technique then the japanese turned it into a sport

and then technology is pshhh

korea has best cellphones :D

[shane6003PQ]

kendo was started by japanese senseis, foremost Nakanishi Chuto in the late 1700s, a master Ono-ha Itto Ryu of swordsmanship. He realized that swordsmanship was becoming more modern and popular among the non hereditary warrior class. Innovations like the kote arm guards were first, and eventually all the old attack points were distorted into what kendo is today, with bogu points of attack.

Kendo, was introduced to Korea from Japan in 1896 as a form of police and military training.

[rinjimaikeru]

@shane6003PQ

Sorry, not so sure "distorted" is the right word there. You can see the same points of attack in Mizoguchi Ha Itto Ryu and Ono Ha Itto Ryu, among others. The targets are targest for a reason, there is nothing distorted about them.

Everything else you wrote is awesome.

[fusionsmarty]

nobody stole anything. every art, language and so on enrichs and inspires people so that they gonna practice it. NOTHING wrong with it.

most normal thing in the world... things are spreading. like a flying bird or a man travelling to the next town.

[zzj0402]

Aye,if you like to see what it actually to be,so call it 剑道

[kevinrhee123]

stop being a dick why cant other plp teach kumdo or kendo they sdidnt steal it retard so that means they that jap plp dont pratice kendo rctsos so u say that japanese plp stole takewondo from korean becase they teach it thier and saying that amercia stole it from korea and all this other country and plus ither countrys teach kendo dose that mean they stole it ? 0_o

[slavuBOG]

or me me this video shows that european historical fencing is better

and european sword are better - sword with guard protect from those strikes quite well

[KiraDevilSame]

Hmm people are really sounding racist here. What's the big deal, seriously

I practice Kendo in singapore and i have two sensei here one is Korean one is Japanese.

The Korean sensei did a tsuki in a shiai and we were all going wow.

And the Japanese sensei was saying to learn small men strike you must learn tsuki well first ;p. lol

They are both very strong and ya the important thing is. Just respect people who are strong. Race doesn't matter

[mike4837]

thats probably since ur supposed to make ur small men look like tsuki until the last second but i dont think teaching tsuki to noobs is a good idea lol

[kanokogi]

kumdo???????

kendo

[erigbzh]

kumdo is korean for kendo.

[mfigzz]

does tsuki hurt?

[tomoyawebtube]

shut up and see this

Q4SHWXQBVL4

by the way most of peaople in korea know that kumdo is just a sor t of bollshit.

[fedorainbow]

Two mans are Japanese, of course they speak Japanese.

The caption is Korean.

This video is made in Japan.

[hpz418997]

kumudo is crib of the kendo

The Korean eats a dog

[Synapticsoju]

What did the English language ever do to you? Quit butchering it.

I got a chance to practice with Furukawa sensei. To the commenter that said he couldn't do it in a real match - You're wrong. Yes he could and does all the time.

[whynottalklikeapirat]

as for butchering english, did you ever practise a second or third language to near-perfection yourself?

you got the point so don't be a jerkoff...

[Synapticsoju]

I do actually speak a 2nd language and can converse poorly in two others.

I'd hardly call hpz4189967's post as "near-perfection". Plus all this BS from people that talk like they know everything about Kendo tends to irritate me. If I offended you, I don't care.

Finally, does anybody here actually practice Kendo? Have met Korean Kumdo people? Realize that Korea is the current World Kendo Championship winners? Kendo is Japanese. No arguments there. Enough said.

[corny555]

oooh the poor partner ^^

[rclarked]

its not too bad if you know how to properly receive tsuki. tuck your chin and step back to absorb the impact. trying to dodge it can lead to pain.

[LeonNeleus]

On that you can trust me ;)

Then again, for the most part the same can be said of any move while training with a partner, right? Not just for sword-based, but thinks like judo and hapkido, also. You need to learn to take a hit.

[Namiwakiru]

Nice!!!

[Priest105]

for some reason i feel srry for the guy with the helmet...

tat looks like its gonna hurt a bit :S

[lukanitos]

i practive Kendo and believe me, yes it hurts ^^

[dsrmc614]

he speak japanese.

Not kumdo,this is kendo

[frozenip]

same shit sherlock..kumdo is the korean way to say it

[dsrmc614]

omaeha nani jin da ichiichi male sunna kuzu！

[Bankoru]

weeaboo

[joelistenstometal]

fine example of someone not knowing why no shit shirlock is used.

[takaharahideyoshi]

kumdo is korean claimed their own martial art.

they said swordmanship has being their own culture since centuries ago

kumdo has a several rules difference from kendo..

sou to omoimasu.. AFAIK

[unhartim]

Wrong.

Kumdo and kendo are almost identical. Just one significant rule: sonkyo before and after geiko. A few more differences, use of Korean to call the targets and attitude during the fight, but no new rules.

In fact, the Korean Kumdo Team won the last World Kendo Championship.

Kumdo is the pronunciation way of the japanese word Kendo.

Koreans claims about kendo origins are more a nationalistic claim than a historical evidence.

Haedong kumdo is "another" thing which I don't like to talk about.

[sinapooh20002000]

Kendo represents Japanese samurai history.

Kumdo doesn't. That's the big difference.

Kendo, Judo, Aikido, Iaido, these are all origined to Japanese bloody history and not a sports.

[benelliman]

well said

[Resonance223]

i'm pretty sure the "kumdo" takaharahideyoshi is referring to is haidong gumdo; not taehan kumdo-like unhartim said taehan kumdo (Korean Kumdo Federation) is pretty much identical to kendo, with just a few subtle differences.

[ob1kendobe]

Semete...pom!

[Metopholus]

Nice demo. But it's only theoric, he can't make a tsuli like this one in fight. I would prefer see à geiko demo.

[co5033]

J'ai l'impression de comprendre le japonais, tellement c'est limpide...

[itsthewoo]

For it to be overrated, it'd have to be used a lot unnecessarily.

As far as I know, most dojos won't even teach it to you until you get to the dan level.

[p4tttrick]

that attack is overrated..but if you pull it off it's very rewarding

[wolsod]

日本的 为什么下面是韩文?

It's useful to me

[thecelloplayer32]

ouch!

[Alexvines]

he is hurugawa sensei!!!

& eiga brothers's kendo sensei in theirs tokai highschool.

[pan788]

His name is Furugawa!

[simjacobs]

he is good!!!

[darkbreath19]

on the left i think it's a woman

[deathtotubez]

that wouldnt wrk in a real fight he would get blocked then tagged on his head

[love421824]

these techniques were used by japanese samurai during battles idiot!

[pipandpopsucopalis]

awesome ima use that on my friend. dont worry we have armor.

[darkairaxandrew]

?...

[saralee27]

poor guy he's beating him up...

[saralee27]

poor guy he's beating him up...

[dsjoo]

sucks to be that guy in armor. that hurts like hell even with armor on

[mike4837]

i know eh

[bodhisattva99]

perhaps.

[bodhisattva99]

I'm so sick of fags like you. Why don't you just keep your negativity and you're "MASTERY" of the art to yourself. Do we need to hear this from you? Who are you? How do we know you're not one of those over-zealous people. Shut up.

[jung567]

so pretty much tsuki is very useless and is pretty dangerous!

[milchev]

it's quite demoralizing, at least ur not so demotivated if u receive a kote but if a suffer a proper tsuki u hardly recover from it

[zanedude3]

that would hurt so bad without padding, probably knock you unconscious

[monchichi69001]

Very beautiful kendo. He seems so simple when he does it. Sad that the truth is that it's hard as hell...

[nasurden]

Thrusting attack are not very useful on their own or even as a starting attack, because the are to simple to counter and evade. Look at the instructor foot work as she lunge in for the attack, because of that lunge he loses a lot of defense and can easily be counter and a winning score.

[rclarked]

maybe in this video it may seem that his defenses are down . But this is purely demonstrational. The truth is that any waza can be countered against. If not we'd all be doing what ever waza that is invincible.One of my Senseis is very good at katate tsuki and uses it fairly often with success. One should not focus on defense as much as seme and attacking when suki opens. If you think that tsuki is not very useful then maybe your opponents aren't doing it correctly.?.?.?

[macindochi]

Alksuy is saying that Furukawa sensei taught Eiga sensei, I think, and that's correct.

[alksuy]

This is Naoki Eiga's sensei.

[Chirinokenshi]

no is not Eiga, his name is Furukawa.

[Chirinokenshi]

His name is FURUKAWA, at least that the name that appear in the zekken.

[oextremista]

I sure alksuy said "It's the Master of Naoki Eiga".

Yes, his name is Kazuo Furukawa, 8th Dan.

[redmoonx]

i loooove tsukiii!!! Watashi wa Akai-tsuki des!

[BabyandKenJ]

More & more

[BabyandKenJ]

Great! Do you the another video about this teaching tape ? Esp. the basic portion!

[Synapticsoju]

Great Vid. He didn't demo the left handed Tsuki though.

[kiilek]

actually, he did

[Synapticsoju]

I was referring to a one handed tsuki. If I missed it, at what point was it done?

[Smakfull]

Wouldn't like to be that motodachi...
