[Kathylorx]

[dumbass6380]

He injure his hand at 6:40, you can see there's blood on the shinai

[wahahaisused]

a big help. thank you very much!

[capcomfan2010]

wow no recent comments i see

[Kathylor1]

my shinai is very hard to put together and i've been checking some videos on how to put it together correctly. I've been doing kendo since september and i being graded yay me.

[cjalaska]

Nice video. It's always nice to see someone who shares the same passion as you do.

[03Dmartin]

what is a shnaina

[you4n00b]

A bamboo practice "sword" for the Japanese Kendo art.

[Bubbelmax]

its useful for almost all combat arts/sports in which you fight with swords, cause bokkens could be hard sometimes ;)

[theharrierdude]

the bamboo-sword he's assembling.

[AussieSteve001]

Buy a couple of shinai to use as spare parts. Actually they don't cost much so when its worn or breaks just throw it away and get a new one.

[krabykevin]

For everyone watching this, please be aware this is only a kendo "training sword", it's not an actual shinai. A shinai is solid inside except for the very core; requires metal chips to be put together, a rubber stopper, and multiple threads to hold it in place while puting on the Tsuru.

[mizutakendo]

what?

[Cropsgrinder]

idd, wtf.

[krabykevin]

How could you not understand such a simple explanation O__O?

Basically, that's not real bamboo and it's not a real shinai cause the middle of the sword is empty.

[GnarlyToes1960]

The shinai is SUPPOSED to be hollow - this is what allows it to flex and let the bamboo staves absorb the impact.

I don't know what type of shinai you're using, but every single shinai I've ever seen have four bamboo staves with a hollow centre.

I don't know how you come to the conclusion that the bamboo is fake, because sanding (seen later in the video) carbon fiber is generally not a good idea.

[krabykevin]

Actually, all shinais are hollow at the very center, but for only 1 cm, if you buy a shinai that's made from Class A/B Type bamboo. (Bamboo naturally absorbs shock and bends on its own accord) But with Class C-S type bamboo, which is usually used for training shinais, the swords are hollow by 2-3 cm. If I were to lay a blow on one of them, it would break immediately, I've done it with a friend before. 3 friends, actually.

[Cropsgrinder]

Right, you obviously do NOT train kendo. You probably watch some kendo vids on youtube and learn on your own.

You need to learn how to explain. Your sentences makes no sence.

[krabykevin]

My sentences make perfect sense. It's you who don't understand.

[Cropsgrinder]

"what?" // mizutakendo.

I've linked this vid to several kendokas in my club, they too do NOT understand anything what you're writing. As far as I know everyone of us got straight A's in english.

[Fellatiosucks]

I have a perfect explanation: krabykevin is either trolling or misinformed. There is no such thing as the god-shinai that he talks about.

There are however, varying levels of quality of bamboo, but all shinai are constructed according to the exact same method and have the same parts, which are demonstrated by Inoue-sensei in the video.

[Ryokushindo]

Amazing video, thank you!!!

[animaiscool]

what type of oil should i use for my shinai?

[Gessho]

use lemon oil

[yayphilippines]

i just use normal cooking oil any oil is good

[Gessho]

It's totally hot that she uses the medieval word "bodkin."

[nebuwolves]

cool

[gingerpangs]

thank you this will be of help.

[kensei64]
