[Smasherr]

Nice video!

Thanks for uploading it for us!

^_^

[pruittarthur]

ok why do they hold thier sticks up like that? and why do they get sooooo close like they are whispering secrets? where can i find the rules on kendo so i can understand it

[dannyAIS]

@pruittarthur ask google :)

[MatheusRebelo]

teramoto is a freaking genius

[thesin24]

thank you so much for the video, i have been look for nice quality high speed kendo footages :)

[Stairwellchild]

I have no idea how kendo works. o_o. Still really cool and fun to watch even though I don't get it at all.

[darktochiro]

@Stairwellchild im sorry i'm 6 months late but kendo it like sword fighting but with sticks

[ryanhertz]

Uchimura Sensei for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrKatsuozatoichi]

nice



[lsbiijp]

3:00　not yoneya but someya

[yangtz]

I only wish it came in 1080 HD. It is super beautiful still. :] Wish my Kendo was that beautiful.

[forzachelsea]

I finally understand why they call it martial "art". This is so beautiful.

[tanoooooka]

音楽ｗ　せつないｗｗｗ



[edwardchoi22]

woah they look so elegant, probably not really in the real match

[0Fingolfin0]

I would like to see the full match between Imoto and Suzuki, can anyone tell me where I can find it please?

[tandatokita]

1:00 couldn't be a men point...

[thediceman001]

amazing, thanks 4 posting it,Wonderfull

The Diceman

[wickedpoet667]

@ 1:27 does imoto's tsuru break? or is that just me? i think i saw some sort of string coming from his shinai when he finishes his kote-men

[tandatokita]

@wickedpoet667 : I saw it... it proved how strong his strike was :D, Jodan men is always the strongest strike in kendo :D

[tandatokita]

@wickedpoet667 :owwwpss... it was not a jodan men :( it was a combo of Kote and men strike

[ChaoticAnamnesis]

@wickedpoet667 It's his ki .__.

[edoxs]

0:33 amazing!

[jfujikane]

This was an excellent video. Thank you very much.

[hungahunga123]

awesome

[0Fingolfin0]

great clip!

[shuuosaka]

0:28 doh was not that good c'mon. he ran off to the side...Eiga would go diagonally forward all the way with zanshin

[joshsiow]

@shuuosaka Zanshin can be described as a ball moving in forward motion till an opposing force acts on it. It the 0.28 Do cut, Shimeyatsu san's taiatare clearly pushed him off, preventing a diagonal forward Zhanshin, which is why he moved to the side. Firther more, Zanshin is not "running". Zanshin is part of your cut. It was a good point, good timing, good distance.

[shuuosaka]

@joshsiow nah...don't agree.

[joshsiow]

@shuuosaka 0.28 wasn't a Do friend. It was a Kote point.

[itsalljustasham]

@joshsiow, that was clearly a do for Uchimura.

[tak888]

0:28 best kaeshi dou ive ever seen

[tenken1013]

i just answered my own question lolll

[jun0e4ever]

Can you tell me the name of these songs?

[tenken1013]

what is the name of these songs?

[merayfu]

Great compilation thnx! :D

1:00　I remember watch this match in normal speed and wasn't men at all...Maybe the shinpans got in a no-sight-stand but even then the sound of air plus fumikomi is quite different than men plus fumikomi...

[MrSnowf0x]

Thanks for sharing, ejoyed it ^^

[Morting22]

1:34 Imoto Men is awesome! But the Imoto's Naka-Yui after the men... :D:D:D

[bealz]

Tsuru, not nakayui,

[fqwhgaaads]

Uchimura had some really nice strikes.. but I'm really disappointed with the foul. Would he have won without the fouls, quite possibly, but it was so flagrant.

Also, from 0:57 to 1:16, it should be "Shigematsu" not "Shimeyatsu."

[Schumpeter08]

as well as 1:21 ...nice kombination there

[reversebladekatana]

I couldn't agree more...4:55 was amazing

[rofflewafflespdq]

4:55 That was amazing

[wisepop1]

1.11 was he putting up the flag before the do was hit? In which case what was he awarding?

[Tsunemori]

The point awarded was for men by Takanabe, white.

[norimitsu]

can't you see he's raising a white flag!?

[oextremista]

Can't you see Takanabe's men strike on 1:00? O.o

[b8amack]

Well, that's an ear strike, technically, but pretty easy to armchair it while watching in slo-mo.

[drumer555]

but i think the judgment was wrong!!it was not correct men!!
