2009 All Japan Kendo Championships - Quarter-Finals - Yoneya vs. Uchimura

This should've been a hansoku for Uchimura, on question. Sure, you're supposed to be merciless, but you also have to show respect toward your opponent. no matter what.

Although I guess this just might be the difference between good, clean kendo and "katsu kendo" unfortunately.

わたしも2回目の反則は赤だと思ってみていました。世界中にこの­映像が流れて、なおかつこの選手が優勝者として称えられているこ­とが恥ずかしいです。

I also think that scene was a hansoku of Uchimura.

I shame that this scene has been seen all of the world and the champion did such thing.

from the dictionary Kendo of All Japan Kendo Federation: acts that lead to hansoku #5 Unfairly shoving or pushing the opponent out of the match court (under kinshi-koi-jiko on page 127)

it seemed as a hansoku to uchimura me in this case. anyway being merciless to your opponent, doesnt involve pushing him out of the court to gain points to me

[CaBoyy]

actually in shiai you just cant have mercy btw if its just a push its definitly no hansoku.. u wont see that anywhere

[CaBoyy]

not that arguably, you just can't have mercy for your opponent

[celell]

pushing the opponent out of shiai-jo is not exactly what we call good swordsmanship...that should have been a hansoku, especially in this kind of a high level tournament

[celell]

I meant, hansoku to uchimura.
