I can honestly say... that it is SO obvious, that opponent in Black, is Far superior in skill than opponent in White. Look at moment speed, stance, and during the slow-mo' recap, you can tell the black geared opponent's intent by his forward advance. White Opponent would never have won.
@sneakyfeet19 in addition, you can also tell opponent in white's skill by the way he handles his sword. too many big, over exaggerating movements. I personally do not train under any dojo as of right now. I train alone, in the deserts of Southern CA, and I am eager to enhance my skill. Seeing this allows me to train harder, to make sure I am Never the man in white. it should always be understood and treated as life or death. There is nothing else, in the way of the warrior.
@sneakyfeet19 Fyi, the guy in white is Kim Kyeong Nam, one of the respected kenshi not just in South Korea but also Japan. His skill is with among the top Japanese kenshis like Miyazaki and Ishida. He never lost to any Japanese kenshi (except Ishida) until Eiga.
According to my sensei, who was there at the time, everyone there in the stadium thought Eiga was going to lose. However, Kim lost due to lack of training.
@satsuks Hmm... *ponders for a moment* I guess we all go back to being actual human beings once the mask comes off, huh? So with respect, I appologise, but must stand by my observation. If it is true that the loss was due to lack of refining ones skill, I'm sure this loss was more divine in nature than anyone could even remotely claim to understand.
@satsuks Roughly quoted from 'Twilight Samurai,' "it takes sheer animal ferocity to kill a man, with calm disregard for ones own life,... Through years of having talied the dried cod fish stock, I have lost the will to yeild my sword, and have neither of those things in me now; maybe in a month, or two out in the wild with the beasts one could re-obtain these things, but right now, I'm afraid it is completely impossible."
@urutoramanization Not everyone in Korea is like that.There are also a lot of Korean Kendo practitioners who believe that Kendo originated in Japan.However, there are also many who still hold grudge against Japan(they love Kendo but hate Japan,so they won't admit that its a Japanese art.) But they are just fucked up. Also, some lie that its Korean so that they can attract more Koreans to do Kendo.I know, it's still not right. But the majority of the Korean population know Kendo is Japanese.
No one in Korea believes that Kendo, as practiced by the Japanese, originated in Korea. It is Japanese, plain and simple. I am Korean, and in college we used to do joint friendship competitions with Japan. The alleged issue is who historically first used the Chinese characters, "劍" (pronounced "Jien" in Chinese, "Ken" in Japanese and "Gum" in Korean) and "道" ("Dao" in Chinese, "Do" in Japanese, and "Do" in Korean) to delineate, perhaps mutually exclusive, sword martial arts. Waste of time.
Agreed with timsk... I've seen a lot of high-level tsuki strikes end up with the grounding of the shinai. That might be "considered bad zanshin"... but when you consider the safety & defense & reaction concerns... it makes much sense.
Some of the best tsuki vids I'VE seen have had the grounding of the shinai at the end. I can't be sure if they were 100% scored, but... it sure seemed like it. :) Effective in my eyes, anyhow...
The Shimpan rule book states that you cant count as ippon a blow if the shinai slams the floor, that is bad zanshin. But if the shimpan says is a point even it is bad form, its still a valid ippon. Shimpan anticipation mistake.
well in that case, look at every other tsuki vid thats out there. The only one that shows proper form are the instructional ones. Every one that is done at a tournament slams the ground. Perhaps because they are trying to "pull the shinai out of the opponent's neck"? either way, the tendecy is the same between almost all kenshi that i've seen perform a tsuki on the vids posted.
i disagree with this point. Generally to get a point from tsuki the opponent must be completely off balance, with a few steps backwards. This tsuki only moved the guys neck back a bit..... just a thought
dude......have u seen the replay. his head went back. the shinai penetrated the tsuki. and look at the size of the guy in the white, and look at the guy in black. do u think u could knock the white guy off balance??
i was just saying in my opinion I would not have counted that point, I am sure they are both quite skilled kendoka, i just felt as though there was not enough power, spirit etc
Kim looked terrible in his white skirt, tried to cheat Eiga without attacking and bending the rules to the limit and was not even gracious enough to accept defeat. The Korean couch had to be restrained after this match, all the Korean people acted like pigs at this final I was there I hate them.
wow man i can understand looking down on the people that where acting that way i do too. but you cant asume all koreans are like that dude geez, soooo wrong
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LMAO the guy in the white was trying to set up the guy in black for the same thrusting move the guy in the black did. lol that was a good plan my Black, because he threw him off guard with a slashing stance.
lol, I'm not saying this kendo is false. . .I would never say that. Just the typo. Sgt. Angle (instead of Angel) from the reporter in Hot Fuzz. *Sigh*

with morote (two handed) tsuki you must make the opponent move back, for katate (one hand) tsuki it is enough to move their head back
plus it was good timing, and kim tried to block it and failed making it look better

It's from the kendo world championships.
The gentleman taking the tsuki to the throat is Kim from Korea.
The man landing the attack is Eiga of Japan whom, with this won the final for his team and country.
No special effects... just loads of training, self-reflection and training.
Though he is small, Eiga is still a giant!
