well.... kendo can be a sport but also can be a martial art. for people that do it daily, well...it's a martial art. For people that train crazy in the summer and don't go more than once a week usually, well.. it's a sport. Many people today also treat kendo very seriously and take it as a life long practice. The changes in kendo have not made it "soft" or "weak" it's just ...different. Don't ever chase skill in kendo because the real person you are to defeat is yourself.
One first viewing this looks awesome. On second viewing, it seems like he's screwing up all the basic kihon. I'm still a beginner, but much of what he's doing would earn me a lecture if I did them with a sensei.
I think this is a good kirikaeshi. The maai and speed are excelent. However, the feet are a little jumpy, the left hand is too low and the kakegoe is not good, in my opinion.
I would sacrifice a little of the speed to correct these, especially the left hand issue. The strikes have no 'furikaburi'. Also, I'd try to maintain my body lower, as it would give me more balance. At last, in Brazil we are oriented to perform the kirikaeshi sequence in a single breath, with extreme vocalization.
It doesn't matter if you do not lift your left hand when you do kirikaishi, as long as you are using correct tenouchi and know what you are practicing. many hatchi dans say do big slow and correct... they say that because non pro kenshi (many over seas) cant do correct kirikaishi at high speed like pros. Have you seen professionals do kirikaishi?
@tenken1013 youre just showing how much you dont understand. hes hitting with his right hand. your left is always the power hand. there is no correct tenouchi without using the left properly. anyways yes i can hit that fast if i dont lift all the way like him. the hard part is doing it correctly with kihon and speed. your kendo is probaly americanized and sport kendo. its hard to find but old school kendo is the best not the tapping shit you see now days.
@hikitsuzuku I agree the last part you said but you have realize that kendo is changing. If we talked about what is right (old school kendo) and what is not right (sports kendo), it will go on forever. I hope you dnt take offense to what I said, I did not mean to be rude, dnt take it personally. But what I dnt understand how you think he is using his right hand..He is using both right and left hand tenouchi. if he did not he wnt be able to hit the target with his left hand in the middle.
@tenken1013 uhhh his left hand is not in the middle. if you cant see it you need to train a little more. anyways the best japan has are all old school guys. not sport kendo. sport kendo has no power and is just about touching the point while trying to be fast. old school has more power and takes time to learn correctly but after time the speed will come. proper footwork and koshi are the basis of old school kendo which many sport kendoist lack like the person in the video.
@hikitsuzuku You denigrate "sport kendo", but like it or not Kendo is a sport. It's certainly not a martial art; it has absolutely no combat applications whatsoever (no one even carries a sword nowadays - it's not even legal in most countries) so frankly you come across as a bit snobby when you talk about "old school kendo" beind superior when it has absolutely no relevence in the modern world. There's nothing wrong with sports Kendo, since sport is the only application Kendo has.
@DrChalkwithering captain obvious strikes! its called martial ARTS for a reason it is an art outdated by technology just like any martial ART. any simply put sport kendo emphasis is on speed before technique to score and win matches but you will never be able to do proper kirikaeshi, kakarigeiko or kikonju with sport kendo simply put. old school kendo focuses on technique and power before speed which will come later. old school kendo is boring and wont interest your casual practioner.
@DrChalkwithering old school will focuses on basics and can be tedious and boring but will take you further. why do you thinks other countries tend to get smashed by most japanese kendoists? old school kendo takes lots of time and dedication but will make you better by practicing much more fundamentals and not having its main focus on speed and winning. if youve ever faced someone whos dedicated themselves to this way it would open your eyes and make you envious of what theyve learned as have i.
@hikitsuzuku Having read some of your comments on here, there's no way you are an experienced kendo practitioner. Most kendo practitioners I know have humility and dignity, not the massive ego you display. Pretty much every comment you make here ends with some snarky remark about how awesome you are, which is an indicator that you're not nearly as good as you think you are.
@tenken1013 just because the caption says kihon it doesnt mean it is. anyways the technique in the video you mentioned is much better than this. they hit with their left even though its small hits and not up to furikaburi. still correct just smaller. this guy only uses his right. i know more than you about proper from practice not youtube.
Actually this isn't bad kirikaeshi. yes his hands don't go above his eyes as far as it should be done in shinsa, but this form of kirikaeshi is more focused on controlling your breathing, keeping good spirit and form (which the kihon isn't too great at first) and good zanshin. he's got good zanshin after the sequence as it shows him attempting to own the center after but also if you look carefully, he's not jumping during his footwork, he's scooting forward.
its normal for youtube to have a lot of backseat drivers commenting "expertly" on anything.. kendo, cars, politics, games, sports. Don't think too much of it.
In Japan, that is how they do kirikaeshi during practice. I guess the reason why everyone is arguing about his kirikaeshi is because it doesn't resemble a shinsa kirikaeshi? I honestly think his kirikaeshi is pretty damn good! Why? Because his wrist flexibility is quite impressive, he demonstrates good endurance, his arms are stretched out, and his body remains in an upright position ( a common mistake that I've seen in my dojo is bending of the torso forward).
@Koyama956 I agree, his accuracy, tenouchi, power, and ki ken tai is all there...
Many people are told from many hachi dans from japan to do kirikaishi slow big and correct because from the eyes of hatchi dan, people who dont do kendo for a living cant produce correct kirikaishi (tenouchi, distance, etc) at a high speed...
Look up "Osaka Budosai - Kendo (kihon) "
Teramoto (former Japan Captain) and the Osaka Police performing basics...
i dont know whether u practice urself but i guess so
like all techniques in kendo none of them is easy to learn and kendo is always about perfection
to achieve this grade u need to practice ur whole live
but what i want to say is... yes its wrong ... but its fast and he hits ! ofc the footwork suffered from this as well as the motion being not fully done (aka rise of the arms)
but he hit and he made it fast, but the kiai was bad... and yes technique > speed ;)
The Shinai needs to be raised above the head - look at the position of the left hand during this exercise - it suggests that the right hand is doing the work?
For those that know - rather than disrespectful comments often found on youtube - this exercise is VERY tough to do. Slow down - get it right.
Its very interesting to see oneself on video and is a real boost to improving oneself.
i'm a beginner, so i enjioyed watching this...i would have to agree about the hand position, though. my sensei keeps reminding me of the same thing, "left hand above your head!!"
thanks for the vid, great learning tool for all out there...
Yall need to stop dissing and post up some response video. While this isn't perfect, i bet most you aren't either. I think he did a pretty kick butt job.
watch the zen nippon video and look closely at the fast kirikaeshi.
Is that guy raising his left hand over his head during the fast kirikaeshi? Ya its a year later, but just seeing this comment. If i were them, i would've shown a slow version and a fast one. But i really don't see anything wrong with what he's doing.
wow, he's freakin fast. I can do kirikaeshi but slower, you know, to keep form. But if I tried to go faster, I dont think Id be able to go as fast as he is.
Kirikaeshi is more about form than speed. He needs to lift his left hand higher on the backswing. If he is 4th dan, I am sure he knows that and is simply sacrificing movements for increased speed.
As far as speed or skill, this is great (he'd totally get ippon on me in like, 5 seconds), but as far as technique and form...as far as kihon is concerned, there leaves a bit to be desired.
hmm..Good speed and kiai. However, my sensei once told me to focus on moving forward, not jumping. In addition, when raising the hand, u must be able to see the opponent. This guy uses too much of his wrists and not his arms
You should always raise the shinai with the left fist above your forehead when striking in kirikaeshi. Go slow and get the footwork (attacking side using okuri ashi, recieving side using ayumi ashi) and striking motion right first is probably best before even thinking about attempting kirikaeshi at the speed shown. Otherwise, you'll be missing the point of kirikaeshi, which would be terrible waste. There are articles explaining the benefits of kirikaeshi online if you're curious.
I am new to kendo but some of you seem to know what your talking about from experience. I can't spot it with the eye but can you explain what is wrong with his footwork or form that you are talking about? From an outsider view so it makes sense. It would mean a lot. I am trying to learn and my footwork and form is terrible.
he is very fast. much faster than i could do it. but, his foot work is a bit sloppy. the jukdo (shinai) hits the homyan (men) but its not at the same time as his foot hits the ground (i'm not sure if its like that in Kendo, but in Kumdo its differenet)
A healthy discussion of kendo is encouraged; however, as the one who posted this video, I'm dismayed with the juvenile comments of skchoyee and have blocked this user.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Clearly ebkendo and jckendo are both in this together, this is evident in their highly emotionally charged rebuttals. Which leads me to think, maybe these two deuchbags are the actual practitioners in the video! It all makes sense now... one question remains yet to be answered though. So which one of you guys are the fat one?
When you do kirikaeshi you must have zeme at least before the first and last cut. This kirikaeshi you defend so much is dead. Its looks like the kendoka is some kind of robot.
Ashi sabaki like I told you before is hoping and makes all uglier.
I insist that the left hand is too low and if you watch the slow motion the kendoka not cuts sayu men when motodashi lower his shinai.
Very common kirikaeshi among dan graded kendokas. The left hand works too low and not correctly in the midle. Left hand should always come upp above the eyes. Ashi sabaki is hoping in the video and not gliding as should be. The cut in kirikaeshi is sayu men and in the video is something else.
umm just wondering..are you talking about striker or the receiver? 00:48 check out the ashi-sabaki following the last fumikomi ashi. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is ayumi ashi allowed for the attacker?
wow...please...dont talk.. .. like you can keep a form (if u had any) while going that speed. if you can, record your self and please post it..I'm sure everyone want to see your amazing ashi-sabaki << btw..it's footwork (save you the time needed to google it.
wow...i guess setting idiots straight makes one gay now huh? Kendoka should be a bit more humble, and definitely more polite, if you are in fact a kendoka. What manners...and a retort worthy of a high schooler.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes. Your mother personally taught me how to put it on, then she took it off for me, and taught me how to tsuki. Please send my warmest regards to your mother. Thank you you self-glorifying mudansha.
The ashi sabaki is wrong. Even tough the practitiones has hitting speed, he crosses his feet and when executing the last men he advances his left foot.
well.... kendo can be a sport but also can be a martial art. for people that do it daily, well...it's a martial art. For people that train crazy in the summer and don't go more than once a week usually, well.. it's a sport. Many people today also treat kendo very seriously and take it as a life long practice. The changes in kendo have not made it "soft" or "weak" it's just ...different. Don't ever chase skill in kendo because the real person you are to defeat is yourself.

I like it. I don´t claim anyone to do perfect form, because to do so, you need to be a true master.
But as many people said I would raise my left arm a bit more, too.
I don´t block my sight that way and my men comes with the forword motion and less out of my arms.
Still, really nice work, excellent control. Keep it up!

I know that some of the comments are not nice, so I'll try to be as polite as I can.
First, this kirikaeshi IS wrong, no matter how you look at it.
The most important thing in kendo is KIAI. In the second set of sayu men, kakarite is mute.
Besides that, the footwork is wrong.
The left hand is not doing anything, also.
This is not kihon.
Is it better to do it fast or to do it properly? Sensei always says: Do it "well" AND do it fast.
Speed is worthless without technique.

As far as speed or skill, this is great (he'd totally get ippon on me in like, 5 seconds), but as far as technique and form...as far as kihon is concerned, there leaves a bit to be desired.

hmm..Good speed and kiai. However, my sensei once told me to focus on moving forward, not jumping. In addition, when raising the hand, u must be able to see the opponent. This guy uses too much of his wrists and not his arms

You should always raise the shinai with the left fist above your forehead when striking in kirikaeshi. Go slow and get the footwork (attacking side using okuri ashi, recieving side using ayumi ashi) and striking motion right first is probably best before even thinking about attempting kirikaeshi at the speed shown. Otherwise, you'll be missing the point of kirikaeshi, which would be terrible waste. There are articles explaining the benefits of kirikaeshi online if you're curious.

I am new to kendo but some of you seem to know what your talking about from experience. I can't spot it with the eye but can you explain what is wrong with his footwork or form that you are talking about? From an outsider view so it makes sense. It would mean a lot. I am trying to learn and my footwork and form is terrible.

he is very fast. much faster than i could do it. but, his foot work is a bit sloppy. the jukdo (shinai) hits the homyan (men) but its not at the same time as his foot hits the ground (i'm not sure if its like that in Kendo, but in Kumdo its differenet)

A healthy discussion of kendo is encouraged; however, as the one who posted this video, I'm dismayed with the juvenile comments of skchoyee and have blocked this user.

Clearly ebkendo and jckendo are both in this together, this is evident in their highly emotionally charged rebuttals. Which leads me to think, maybe these two deuchbags are the actual practitioners in the video! It all makes sense now... one question remains yet to be answered though. So which one of you guys are the fat one?
skchoyee in reply to ebkendo (Show the comment) 4 years ago
The left hand is not in the center because you kan see the position in relation to the right hand even if you see it from side view
I m sure that kendo for you is something temporary in you life because you cant realaise or at least understand the diference betwend sports and art.
Thank you any way for call me "beginer sensei"; is too much. I most like a beginner.
carlossweden32 in reply to jckendo (Show the comment) 4 years ago
I watch the video again:
When you do kirikaeshi you must have zeme at least before the first and last cut. This kirikaeshi you defend so much is dead. Its looks like the kendoka is some kind of robot.
Ashi sabaki like I told you before is hoping and makes all uglier.
I insist that the left hand is too low and if you watch the slow motion the kendoka not cuts sayu men when motodashi lower his shinai.
carlossweden32 in reply to jckendo (Show the comment) 4 years ago
Very common kirikaeshi among dan graded kendokas. The left hand works too low and not correctly in the midle. Left hand should always come upp above the eyes. Ashi sabaki is hoping in the video and not gliding as should be. The cut in kirikaeshi is sayu men and in the video is something else.
not beutiful.
carlossweden32 4 years ago
umm just wondering..are you talking about striker or the receiver? 00:48 check out the ashi-sabaki following the last fumikomi ashi. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is ayumi ashi allowed for the attacker?

skchoyee in reply to pchou (Show the comment) 4 years ago
wow...i guess setting idiots straight makes one gay now huh? Kendoka should be a bit more humble, and definitely more polite, if you are in fact a kendoka. What manners...and a retort worthy of a high schooler.
Shinsengumi77 in reply to skchoyee (Show the comment) 4 years ago 2
if you are a kendoka, you should be more conprehensive and less agresive. I wouldn't ever follow any of your advices...

That has got nothing to do with your inability to use spell check. You not only speak Spanish but are incompetent.

i agree! i am flawed as a kendoka but great on being a warrior..meaning i seem to charge in w/o thinking...received countless kaeshi do waza.lawl

I love it when mudansha get on kendo forums and try to sound like they know what they're talking about.
Have they taught you how to put on dogi yet?

Yes. Your mother personally taught me how to put it on, then she took it off for me, and taught me how to tsuki. Please send my warmest regards to your mother. Thank you you self-glorifying mudansha.

The ashi sabaki is wrong. Even tough the practitiones has hitting speed, he crosses his feet and when executing the last men he advances his left foot.
