Don't drop your Shinai!

[SpiningChocolate]

does that count as an instant win?

[xxgoodideaxx]

Pretty nice Maki waza maneuver !!!!

[KELLERMANisBACK]

lol i think when i start using bogu and shinai i might try this XD I think I might be yelled at by my sensei though :/

[Wildcat425B]

Shamefur dispray.

[CornflakeSlayer]

I like the audience's "OOOH"

[anormaluser]

@CornflakeSlayer typical japanese ^^

[ScoutSniper127]

Wow... it never came back down...

[TheAngelJC]

Wow. That was pretty impressive.

[Fre3ZeZ0nE]

oh and im pretty sure its mien not men

[Fre3ZeZ0nE]

also thinking back depending on the rules he could have went into hand to hand combat in an attempt to catch his opponent off balance or disarm him and strike back

[Fre3ZeZ0nE]

nice technique but not a japanese manevaur he must have been studieing european styles and incorparated them into his technique. for that is a standerd maneauvar used by duelist with rapiers or fencers to unarm an oppenent or get past their deffense. the japanese style of using a sword focuses mainly on quick slashes and upercuts it is rare for a thrusting maneauver to be incorparated like that

[zackattack7778]

@Fre3ZeZ0nE Actually that's quite common. Not the fact that the opponent's shinai flew out of his hands, but the parry the other gentleman did. Usually after such a move is performed and it's assessed that the opponent's grip is weaker or too relaxed, that kind of move is followed up with a men or kote strike.

[HipposHateWater]

@Fre3ZeZ0nE

The only "rapier fencers" I've seen try and use that are stunt fencers performing theatrically. Compound grips tend to make maneuvers like this rather hard to pull off successfully, you see. (There's much more efficient ways to go about disarming opponents, and sometimes even putting them into locks and such.)

[johnbaptistlulu]

sometimes I can truly understand the concept of seppuku...

[antikoerper256]

the answer - harakiri

[Shrumins]

*In head*

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!!!! shit......"

[RaiceaAndrei111]

i probably would have stopped after the shinai flew away too(if i was the person who made the shinai fly away) but that is actually a GREAT opportunity after it flies away you have about 2(+/-) seconds to score a PERFECT men you just need to show you wanted to score by loudly screaming MEEEEEEEEEN and having a decent speed os you could get up to him even if he stepped back like in this video.anyway its all easy saying,but of course its not just a walk in the park doing it :)

[GuamKomudo]

He's like... "Great... Now I gotta go commit seppuku... Awesome..."

[TheDevilHawkFilms]

@GuamKomudo with a shinai? ouch.

[xRAZORxIIxRAZORx]

ohhh thats really emberassing

[mlavik1]

Awww! D: Poor kendoka!

[beefaronin]

lol funny shit check out my channel for shinai fights

[zenaku85]

after the match he commit hara kiri

[zenaku85]

i hate to be that guy, everybody is watching this video and laugh

[panterarocks9]

He brought great dishonor to his famiry.

[zenaku85]

@panterarocks9 hahahaha

[a1c41]

Wait, what happens if the guy gets unarmed, does his opponent get a point or something?

[zenaku85]

@a1c41 no, they just stop the match, and start again. i think the one who lost the shinai got a warning(2 warnings=1 point to the other one)

[MrPihtija]

@a1c41 depending on a judge....he/she can stop the match right away, or give it a sec or 2, for disarmer to score point on udefended oponent

[ekoukano]

According to people at my dojo, my senseis constantly disarm people when they aren't concentrating.

Seeing as how the kote makes you have a deathgrip on the shinai, it just shows how strong the sensei has to be.

And this happens /every/ keiko, to different people.

[IEKUKATAKA]

@ekoukano Not a kendoka, but, I am kobodoka and having a death grip on a weapon kills the natural use of the object and impedes ability. Is that not the same with a shinai?

[Hoodeeny]

Im not too sure of the rules. is that allowed??

[zenaku85]

@Hoodeeny yep

[Supercucu123]

rofflestomped.

[narusasu]

epic fail... but it's ok, we still love him. Whoever he is.

[Pottunator]

Win

[jellybeanguitarist]

Lolol i was just learning that move. I'll be sure not to let go of my shinai XD

[Azhorat]

Hansoku??

[seanschwei]

he looks so confused... "wtf just happened...?"

[MatheusRebelo]

ITS OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!

[linakabra]

i´m turning red

[IEKUKATAKA]

Not a kendo-ka, does the guy that was disarmed lose because of it? it would seem so.

[ChaoticAnamnesis]

Well he didn't drop it. It's not like he went "here, you can have it" *lets go of shinai*. It was more like *gets disarmed* "wtf!"

[lamyunholic]

Wow... Seppuku yourself. Right now.

[coloss3070]

LOL

[itachi58kun]

ズゴイ 0-0

[akachinko]

この原理は、合気道と同じ原理だ。俺も竹刀巻き上げをしたことあ­るが、本当にタイミングと相手の油断だと思う。元々竹刀を力んで­持つ人間はいないと思う。竹刀のスピードが落ちるから。適度なリ­ラックスが必要だ。野球でいうところの、空振り三振バット放り投­げのようなものだろ？

[zegan82]

this is when seppuku should be preformed ....

[Nurelius]

Very nice! But the guy in red should have moved in and made a nice men cut to get ippon...

[TimusOminere]

That was a beautiful manuever!

[songyee92]

wow this is like the biggest humiliation...

[kyleismrsmiley]

"where did it go"? xD

[newvelocityVIP]

おいおいおい

そんなことありえるのかよ

[zackattack7778]

うん、そうだよね！

[Arekusu93]

That's a real kendo technique called makiage. The competitors have the 7 Dan level and they hold the shinai very weakly. The one who does the makiage more quickly, wins.

[CzeslawMeyer012]

can you do that? And if you can is the match over or something else?

[CaptainLutra]

the opponent recieves hansoku-ikkei. two of them make you score ippon. (4xhansoku=you win)

[ChaoticAnamnesis]

@CaptainLutra

Being disarmed 4 times in succession would be PAINFUL to see. lol

[salserony]

the guy who made his opponent to lose weapon should have big points for that.

[191121001]

lol I saw my senpai do that to my sensei once during Shiki practice, except there was no referee to call time out, so my senpai was chasing my sensei all around the dojo whacking him as they go.

[almoroth]

@191121001 Hahahah, that's hilarious.

[Robotman42]

@191121001 wow you'd expect it to be the other way round haha

[Mistwraith99]

"He should have tackled him"?

Take a look at how long it take the armed fighter to get his point back on target. Even if he had gone for a tackle the instant he lost his weapon, he would've been skewered through the belly.

[shmoyang]

lmao.. thats happened to me once..

[solidevash]

before modern kendo. The pre war kendo allowed tackling and lock holding the opponent to the ground even using the opponents' armour against themselves, so i dont know if saying tackling is not samurai like is a proven statement.

[ChaoticAnamnesis]

He should've tackled his opponent.

lol

[tandatokita]

it would not be a way of samurai.. not a way of kendo ... if he did like u said

[ChaoticAnamnesis]

Ok.. maybe not tackle him to the point of bringing him to the ground but just to immobilize him..

But sure as hell don't just stand there. Even samurai would have not just stood there..

[BakaYaru13]

Oh yes. Using a takedown or throw is a very un-samurai-ish thing to do. Ever hear of jiu-jutsu?

[fastang2]

wow his shinai got flung in the air it didnt really look like he droped it.....

[Delmo67]

Oh the shame he must be feeling...

[Peppergon]

oh yee xD

[iwsab]

Is it an automatic point?

[Hokotoro]

You get point for hit not for disarming.

[kumameyer87]

ah ... the walk of shame after a makiatoshi

[ZomgAnime00]

if some one is capable of doing such no prob to you, you should know the difference in power

[wolffrost]

jajajajajaj muy bueno

[greytale]

Hmm. This could have been set up to "look cool"... but... if it was not--you *DO* see that the fighter on the left makes a test "beat" on the other fighter's shinai... and possibly determined: "hey... that's one LOOSE grip", and gave the disarmament a shot. It clearly worked.

Still... the gent who posted is right: it doesn't happen very often! :)

[combat602]

wow i once on my training saw my sensei smack there partner shinai start of a match...but this like "weeeeeee" and "WTH man not cool"

[ColonelMarksman]

did they end the fight with that? Well, I guess what can you do? Its like the queen-bishop checkmate in 4 moves!

[Dadarkside43v3r]

no, its embarrassing (especially at their level) but you only loose half a point. Its basically a foul, but unless he already had another foul before this, it doesn't effect him that much.

[Chownz]

I would love to try that move against the senpai at my dojo!!

[gingin1992]

haha, don't, you'd get raped XD

[Chownz]

Me! Neva they have to catch me first!! ;)

[nagasefreak]

maybe tht dude is too nervous.

[ChaoticAnamnesis]

The kendoka whose shinai flew in the air looked a bit like "hey man..what the hell, not nice."

[iheartrealhiphop]

lol good one

[pailhead11]

This is supposed to happen if you are holding your shinai too loose, or too tight even? In between is just right... right?

[MockEmpire]

dead

[KWSoccer]

J'd

[Priest105]

game over... pwned...

tat was an awesome move :D

[jmek01]

lol

[JahirShuji]

I did this movement 2 weeks ago. I was fighting against a senpai(and he's too damn fast) and I just made a "double harai" and his shinai went flying against a wall. Hahaha...

[GeishaRei]

that must be the greatest move ever done XD

But sreiously the arena is larger than i thought it would be.

[shoulung]

oh my goodness. that would suck. I've dropped my weapon a few times, but never in front of a large group.

[Fosgeeni]

Poor guy...

[shadow6k]

...Pwnage...

[HeroOfXanadus]

it always happens to me >.>" by my master... it actually goes flying across the room like a spear or drops like i was holding a ton.
