  • Sometimes bouncing the shinai off the ground is intentional. They are trying to quickly return to guard position.

  • WOW. FREAKING WOW!

    

  • amazing...totally got him off balanced.

  • If you look VERY closely, the Sninai actually went UNDER the Men.

    It could very well have killed him.

  • very beautiful

  • speed is power

  • genios

  • Jesus christ a fight even in kendo videos? I guess there are idiots even in here...

  • @mikeymarshful lol fighting on the internet is like competing in the special olympics, even if you win your still retarded lol.

  • @dogolog22 It's been a while I've been on this video... Did I say anything...? And also, sometimes it's not true about being retarded...

  • @mikeymarshful yeah you were saying how stupid it is how people are arguing in the comments for this vid.

  • @dogolog22 Ah yeah... Well, sometimes. *shrugs* Depending to be honest, but meh...

  • It's beautiful!!!

  • @maxgunn555

    I will not enter this fight over kendo, but if you are as intellectual as you say, could you please spell things correctly? It hurts trying to even read some of your comments to understand your feelings.

  • @inzueo hes usin a google translator

  • @muker123 i know what you meant. i know what you're failling at. and you should learn what spam means. you never really did reply much did you. your meaningfull posts = 0. lmao u got owned.

  • @muker123 pahaaha you're pathetic. obvious troll is obvious btich.

  • @muker123 shutup or read properly u idiot. i said I I I Wouldn't Bother Listening to others opinions if i was like you want to beleive arrogant. so you got completely wrong. and ontop of that you havent actually made a single point of your own. you've only tried critcising ME. get something intelligent say,get yoru reading glasses on or gtfo.

  • @muker123 shutup you're probably juts another kendo or similar art practictioner who is offended by logic that goes against him. i find it a complement being called simple minded because after all it is by logic necesary to simplify complex things in order to understand them. i dont think an arrogant person would bother listening to all the various opinions like i have...

  • Sublime.

  • i agree if you are truly a martial artist you dont use your skills for bragging or threatining people just sport and self defense go back and learn the basics im only a purple belt in kenpo so compared to your "many" martial arts im sure i dont compare but in discipline and self control my skills are far greater and im only a 17 year old girl

  • I want to get into Kendo so bad :/

  • dude i dont care what anyone says, If that was a real sword, you would be fucked.

  • @Masevah You'd be fucked even if it was wooden or bamboo. Nobody under 3rd degree blackbelt is allowed to use that move in tournaments because if you miss the neck guard and hit the Adam's apple with that much force, they're fucked either way.

  • I'm sure that if he'd poked me in the neck with a pointy implement like that, I wouldn't quite be breathing in the same was as I'd been before he'd poked me with said pointy implement.

  • YOU WAS POPPIN' ALL THAT GOOD SHIT A SECOND AGO, THEN YOU GOT STABBED IN YO THROAT!

    YOU EAT A DICK NIGGA! YOU EAT A DICK!

  • guess they dont need helmets when the strike is that weak.

  • @maxgunn555 What? The head of recipiant of that strike was pushed back at least 6 inches, and the attacker's shinai probably bent 4 inches upward. If the they were not wearing helmets, the defender could've had a broken thyroid.

  • @Superhrnet01 yeah i didnt see the bending upwards my bad.

  • @maxgunn555 that is NOT a weak strike. imagine a sharp blade going 3 inches into your neck. I doubt you would be standing to talk about how weak it was.

  • @KatsuGuitar this is not a blade going 3inches into your neck, this is a shinai, the reason why maxgunn says its weak is becoz this is about getting a point on the other person not killing them all they gotta do is land the hit, and if thats not enough then fine, look at it with a physics perspective, as he was executing the move, he jumped UP not forward hence not providing any extra momentum to the strike, his arms extended forward mid-air hence no extra momentum either nor weight behind it.

  • @maxgunn555 the kendo stick bended when he stabbed... i don't understand how you can say it's a weak strike.

  • @MrWhatev4r it just looked like he touched him with it. then it started pushing a bit more to make it bend. it doesnt bend immediatley. persides these sporting martial arts are all about fast but not very powerfull/technically correct strikes in order to get the point before the opponent,so i wouldnt be surprised if it was weak.

  • @maxgunn555 Your claims are moot. Kendo is clearly something you haven't done (or done properly) and you have no basis other than how it looks to you.

  • @Ctrlaltfu your exactly right. i observe things with my eyes and then use my brain to understand things. kendo is a replication of a sword art for sport. it uses sticks rather than blades so thats some realism gone. the sporting aspect means speed over technique/power to get the point. it was a little poke. notice hwo the other guy was immediately able to come back. anyway fuck kendo, like taekwondo and other pointfighting is relatively bullshit idea as a whole.

  • @maxgunn555 agreed. martial arts may be a good form of exercise (i tried many different ones) however in a real fight it would be completely useless as priorities are turned upside down.

  • @maxgunn555 Not kendo, kendo is hardcore. Shinai do not bend with a little push, it requires quite a bit of force.

  • @maxgunn555 Let me tsuki you without a throat guard. Then tell me it's weak.... if you can still talk after.

    You miss the point of martial arts. Martial arts is never about killing the other person. It has ALWAYS been about self-discipline. Never violence. Those who think otherwise... never take a martial art, because you are a danger to society and to yourself.

  • @IchimonjiNorimune i'm saying if kendo is meant to accurately mimic a realistic sword fight using sharp, heavy blades then this clearly doesn't. what we see hear isn't a martial art even, it's a sport. your analogy of let me tsuki you is completely pointless therefore. if it was a sword fight and you tried tsukiing me then yuo'd lose. if it was a stick fight as seen here and you tried tsuking me like that then you'd lose. sport aint like the real thing. it's pointless except for thecompetitive.

  • @maxgunn555 Again, if you know a thing about martial arts you'll realize that it's always been about self-discipline. Not violence. Kendo is based on the principles of kenjutsu. The reason kendo looks like a sport is because it IS a sport. Kenjutsu is the "sword fighting" you're thinking of. Kenjutsu is the "real thing". Kendo is not. And pointless except for the competitive? You mean like... every other sport in the world? Yep. Does that make it pointless? Hardly. Find a hobby, kid.

  • @IchimonjiNorimune beleive it or not i know far greater amounts about martial arts than the average person i know.find yourself a hobby bitch. and make sure it's not this shitty kendo which i bet it is because you'd be wasting your time and intellectual capacity which you may have already lost sadly. dont waste your time speaking to meh too.

  • @maxgunn555 Internet thug here. He knows a great amount of martial arts. I doubt someone with that much disrespect knows any martial arts besides your Taekwon do for Dummies and 2 Week Black Belt McDojo self defense for women courses.

  • @Dantefex13 i did takewondo wtf for 2 years that's how i know it's bullshit. i've done over 6 different types of martial arts courses since uni and watched over 9000 fighting/ma/self defense videos on youtube. basically you havent even made a point so not much really to say. no i wouldnt consider myself a thug though but yes i do know a 'great' amount of martial arts.

  • tsuki tsuki 5 dorra

  • Very beautiful indeed.

  • POW RIGHT IN THE KISSER!

  • @totalwarelite ahahaha, classic. Break yo' self!!!!! :(

  • BAM! lol

  • why does he hit the ground w/ his shinai afterward?

  • @DJEDI296 because the opponent hit his shinai

  • @DJEDI296 well the other guy tried to block but was too late, and accidentally swiped off his shinai as he was bringing it back which let it fall down from using his force against a sweep thinking that it was a bigger force

  • Great Tsuki

  • Left hand extension. The left hand is on the bottom of the hilt giving the thrust a much longer reach. He then leans into his fore leg which is his right which offers the thrust greater support. Fortunately, the refs acknowledged the point. Its normally a real weak hit. But powerful enough had it been a real blade. 

  • @Lordofthenipplerings Yeah, if that were a real Katana, and he had hit him in the neck like that, even slightly so, it's a fatal strike... most likely.

  • *poke*

    other guy- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • DANNN KUN

  • wow that was so fast i barely saw it

  • that tsuki made him famous

  • how can his sword bend like that, i cant imagine how my sword would be able to bend and not break

  • @illirond it can break though, but it will need alot more than that

  • @illirond

    matters of bamboo's quality

  • @illirond ta real katana is actually pretty flexible on one side ..but of course shinai is much more flexible (Especially when you watch the shiai in slow motion, it bends like crazy)

  • There will be a hole at that guy throat if he hadn't wear his armor

  • My sensei tells our dojo to not do this.

    He says though that they do that to show zanshin.

  • @Dantefex13--I dont want to say anything bad about your sensei...but he should teach it to at least show you how to defend against it as well as use it. He may say not to use it, but you should know how to use it in case you have to.

  • @samdonelly7 i agree

  • @samdonelly7

    I wasn't talking about Tsuki. I was talking about hitting the floor for zanshin

  • @Dantefex13 he should teach that. tsuki makes points if you do it right. you should practice at home. make a dot on the wall and train your tsuki at it. but remember the distance you have to stand.

  • @zenaku85

    We practice Tsuki, even mudansha practice tsuki. We don't practice the floor hit for zanshin though, which I was implying to earlier posts.

  • fuck i wish i have made such a tsuki once!

  • Epic, total win. I would just be like... Hey man... Teach me... Please lol

  • เก่งมากๆ

  • Kdelacour +1

  • PERFECT TSUKI ! :D

  • 美しい

  • FUCK YEAH EIGA

  • love the footwork!! 

  • 綺麗に決まってるなぁ

  • wow great!

  • this looks like the best tsuki on YouTube

  • yes a nice Tsuki but he should never have hit the floor with Kensen afterwards. If you can control Tsuki you should be able to come back to Kamae again.

  • @kdelacour How are you gonna tell Eiga sensei? lol

  • @kdelacour They hit the floor out of habit. Tsuki is a dangerous waza, and thrusting your kensen toward the floor like that helps to prevent injury. I'm sure they could go straight back to chuudan if they wanted to.

  • @almoroth my sempai hit the floor too , he said a lot of japanese practice this way for one hand tsuki so he can kote quickly , beats me i'm only ni dan

  • @kdelacour 10 old month post but...did you see how the opponent hit Eiga's shinai afterwards?now if you could hold your shinai still at that second it means your hands are SUPER SUPER SUPER tense,which is NOT what is happening at that godly kendoka level

  • @RaiceaAndrei111 there was no hit by the opponet after the Tsuki was landed. The opponent was actually reacting to the initial Seme for the Tsuki, in my opinion. He was totally overcome by Eiga and was too late to do anything about it. The Maki-waza thereafter was a reaction for he had nothing left. However, my original post was more about why (and other ask the same btw) why the Shinai actually hits the floor. It's not something we are taught to do, and is something we are told shouldn't happen

  • @kdelacour yes i understand what you mean,but still yesterday while i was watching sensei Ishikubo fight my dad,he scored a good amount of consecutive tsukis,and after all of them he(from what i saw) touched the ground after all of them while retreating.i have been thaught that we shouldnt touch the ground aswell but i think its impossible to just go back without moving the shinai,too slow so if it didnt score i think you can get hit by men if your opponent is fast CONTINUED

  • @kdelacour and also im just 15,doing kendo for just 2 years,and going to take my shodan exam in about 2 months at the european kendo cup,i don't know your level-grade and experience but i KNOW for sure that sensei knows what he is doing,since he has about 25 or so years of kendo and godan(japanese exams not european ones) and he is going to take 6 dan exam this year) but anyways greetings from Romania

  • @RaiceaAndrei111 Hi to Romania from Scotland. Besfluck with Shodan. I've only been doing Kendo six years and Sandan so I also know I have a lot to learn. I hope your Sensei achieves Rokyuan. Take care and, enjoy Kendo for it will change your life! Gambatte!

  • Comment removed

  • yes, a nice Tsuki but after the cut it should NEVER hit the floor. If you can controil Tsuki you should be able to come back to Kamae again! Nice though ;-)

  • wow. so clean.

  • Cool thurst and power full too

    ( I wish his Bamboo blade dint hide any dagger at the end or else it will kill the oppenet)

  • wow, that's a strong tsuki no joke

  • technically there is,. its part of the helmet. theres a piece thats attached to it that drops down. its also what they aim to strike for.

  • not that true; the lower part of the "men", "tsuki dare" protects the neck. Anyways, the tip of the shinai may pass under or aside, and hurt a bit, that's why this attack is reserved to skilled kenshi.

  • Sharp and powerful

  • shiit fast

  • Ground shinai trust after performing a direct tsuki hit, is para-technique developed by Kendo practitioner's reflexes. Basically perfect tsuki is a neck hit, Adam's apple area. Strong hitters may kill on tsuki blow. That is why they reflexively pull the shinai down.

  • was it point though? he cant hit with the shinai on the ground after it can he? I dont think he did much zanshin either

  • beautiful !!!!!

  • Amazing.

  • wow...damn nice

  • that was the most beautiful tsuki i have ever seen people like this motivate me to get better *teary eyed*

  • whoa that was awesome, nice power into that strike

  • got him

  • beautiful ^_^

  • ouch

  • nice tsuki

  • i wouldnt have awarded ippon, he shouldnt slam his shinai on the ground. its a very very bad habit and it just makes me sick looking at it.

  • That is correct, no ippon (point( if you slam the shinai in the floor, that is bad zanshin (final form), i think here the shimpan (referee) anticipated. Its an example of what not to do if you are a shimpan. You must wait to seconds until you rise the flag.

  • look closer, his opponent used tenouchi right after eiga sensei did tsuki.. so it's not the habbit omg

  • but u gotta give him credit for that fast tsuki

  • correct....VERY bad habit....i know it was all fast and everything but not even begginers slam the shinai on the ground

  • it's not eiga's fault! look closer, the opponent slams his shinai on the ground .. dam :s

  • oh....you are right....i didnt see that....yeah than it is a well tsuki indeed

  • Well how do you explain pretty much every high level kenshi doing the shinai ground smack after a good tsuki and getting a point for it? Search "kendo tsuki" on youtube, and watch all of them. I think I saw one, maybe two where there was no ground smack.

    Every sensei and sempai I've asked said it's a bad habit, but it just makes me wonder when so many high level kenshi are doing it.

  • True its a bad habit, but its almost an impulse reaction especially at higher levels.

  • @TheMissingno lots of bad habits develop over the years like dropping your tip to mess up the newbs

  • it was the opponent who slammed it on the floor lmao, look closer

  • maybe eiga sensei did not slam the shinai, but we are just making the point.

  • than just take your words back about eiga and the shimpan :p ikno what u meant (without knowing) was right :p

  • nice tsuki

  • that was some fast shit..

  • Metopholus with one hand is call Katate Tsuki and is a valid ippon I think ...

  • That WAS beautiful. Tsuki is my favourite strike.

  • i never really watched this stuff before, stumbled it. it's pretty neat how those big-ass pants hide their footwork.

    im getting some of those big-ass pants tommorow

  • Hakama+ Gi (:

  • @nocturnarboreal

    Ironically it's one of the uses for the "big ass pants" (also called Hakama). It turns you into a big triangle, making it much harder to predict your movements or take you down with a judo/ jiu jitsu move.

  • @nocturnarboreal those big-ass pants are called hakama^^

  • Hermoso movimiento, uno de los mejores deportes.

  • that was very impressive. so quick and precise...

  • I never get tired of watching that.

  • look at how the shinai bent.

  • nice move :D

  • face poker :D

  • imagine if its a real sword

  • WOW!!! thanks for sharing!!

  • Damn, he was like "FUCK YOUR FACE!"

  • @JacKn1feSugarTrucK nah i think its more like "YOUR MY BITCH NOW!!!"

  • what a PROOOOO!!!

  • touche!

  • Excellent!!!!!!! 5/5

  • very nice, ive seen a few tsukis that have laid guys on their backs lol :)

  • Great ! Great skill...

  • dude, that was great :D

  • that was beutiful im trying to get perfect tsuki's to you are my goal that lvl of kendo getting close to yours

  • Gotta love KENDO!

  • woaahh niceee

  • Nicely done!, that guy would be so dead right now.

  • yeah it never was illegal >_>

    but it's hard to perform trust me lol

  • If my shinai bent liek that it'd probably break.

  • i thought tsuki trust was illegal

  • It's legal, but it's a pretty advanced move. you have to know what you're doing. But these guys are like 6 Dan +

  • ahh deadly lol

  • XDDDDDDDD

    Soooooo goood!!!!!!

  • Well.....he'd have a new place to breathe out of.

  • waaw nice

  • i came buckets xDD wonderful tsuki indeed

  • Textbook form right there.

  • hell yeah

  • nice how it was setup, first footwork that was in constant movement then using the expected movement to get in closer lunging forward.

    Reminded me a bit from western foil fencing

  • great!!!!!

  • real amazing

  • Sugoi!!!

  • that was a beautiful Tsuki. Looked as if that kinda hurt.

  • that was incredible o.O

    i wonder what level these guys would be at.

  • I think this was from one of the past two or three World Championships. I'd guess it was at Glasgow but I could be wrong.
