just imagining a wall of Yari pointed towards u...i wouldve hated to be on the 1st line to charge a wall with just a katana...spearmen were always trouble in numbers no matter what style of spear and national origin they came from...
@jingang With the kuda yari the length can be changed depending on the opponent/weapon. In the case of a swordsman, holding it closer towards the center allows greater control over the yari while still allowing the user to keep the swordsman at a distance. When facing other longer weapons you hold the spear almost entirely near the end but can shorten it as you see fit. Also, that is a spear for traveling so it is connected in the center by a metal pipe which changes the weapons balance.
@depabilaba Yeah umm..no, it's not personal. Not in the least. This is the way the Shunpukan does randori meaning that this is randori. Tachiai is what the the Kendoka, Shimorura was doing, after the fact that he had been stabbed. The way this video is displayed at the end and the way the crowd perceived what was going on by applause tells me that the spectators and most of the viewers here do not know and cannot see what is going on.
Le premier Ippon est bien visible. de Plus, c'était un Tachiaï (une démonstration) de 2 artistes martiaux de grand renom. Donc la notion de gain ou de de perte n'est pas à sa place ici.
Ta lecture polémique t'est toute personnel. Et je te répondrai par la phrase d' Antoine de Saint-Exupéry : "L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux on y voit bien qu'avec le coeur".
@depabilaba It's not visible...at all. Unless you call getting stabbed in the throat and chest, then doing *tachiai* up to the spearman to hit the head AFTER being struck down a win. Look closely, notice how he is stabbed in the throat and chest BEFORE making it close? Does that tell you anything? Was the Kendoka's spirit rising from the dead to back the first "ippon"? Get glasses.
The kendoka was dead EVERY time (that means he lost). Shimomura sensei of the Shunpukan stabbed him at least twice before he even got close. The crowd was full of morons, the only time the kendoka got near is AFTER brutal stabs. The only thing that the crowd saw or knew what to respond to was screaming and then hitting him on the men/do after the fact he was DEAD. He was a corpse in round one.
You should have a better look at the begening. Look at the first Ippon. And don't forget that nobody died in this fight. They are practicing for life not for dying. You better learn the différence.
@depabilaba If a kendoka is going to do shiai against a shihan of koryu soujutsu he better understand the difference. Too used to judges telling him to go and stop, who won or lost, when the real answer is right in front of him. The beginning is the same each time I watch it. The kendoka was struck and then struck again, but still moved forward despite the devastation the spear would do to his body and made the illustrious kendo ippon. Was he proud of that ippon?
@AlexJK448 silly you... you can clearly see that even the first spear hit to throat didn't reach him... you can even download the video and watch it frame by frame, but there is nothing to argue about because judges do see it better then any1 of us
@ar4ijs Let me make this very clear so that there is no misunderstanding. 1)I was there. 2)Have superb, high quality footage from the ground floor and not some little box on youtube. 3)Kendo judges are incapable of gauging anything that isn't kendo. 4)Judges were not judging this match. 5)Only those who participate in soujutsu shiai know when one has been hit and when one has missed. 6)I train with Shimomura Sensei. 7) Have met Yoshimura Sensei and discussed this. Is my point getting across?

Didn't notice but when slow motion replay started in the end I saw how awesome the kendo practioner were.

Why does the spear guy doesn't use his best advantage, the length of the spear? He should hold the spear at the far end
