Eiga said that Miyazaki won because he put all his blow into the men despite he knew Eiga's do coming, and Eiga's do was just calculation. This is KENDO. Eiga's words have very much more weight than you think. His purity, modesty, and appreciation to the Miyazaki's blow. What Japanese wish to spread through kendo around the world is just right here. :)

I agree with aelwenn. I have watched the point where Eiga performs kaeshi do against Miyazaki's yoko men again and again and again and again. And everytime I see it I think Eiga should have gotten that point based on pure mechanics. I know Eiga admitted to being hit on the men in his documentary but I think he is saying that out of sheer respect. A true sign of strong character on Eiga's part. Don't get me wrong I love Miyazaki as well. His kote techniques are awesome!

fair call…

Kendo is exciting and all but i wish there was a practice where you had like a spot or something thing on each of your vital spots for example, head, neck, stomach, heart, legs and arms and you had to hit you opponents spots while protecting your own similar to kendo but you didn't have to stand in that stance you were allowed to choose your fighting style how you wanted to fight

i'd greatly prefer that. But, GO KENDO!!! ^_^

[6shige9]

He would know Miyazaki didn't hit the men but deeply thought out by himself why Miyazaki won then and what was different between Miyazaki and Eiga. Then, he finally realized winning and losing don't matter.

[6shige9]

@dante986 @dante986 - Actually, aelwenn is right. Watch it carefully. Miyazaki didn't hit the side men. Miyazaki's kensaki hit around Eiga's left ear. Even Eiga parried it. I know you might have seen Eiga's documentary and he, on that document, admitted that Miyazaki hit the men. However, Eiga most knows everything what happend at the time.

[6shige9]

@aelwenn - I totally agree with you.

[TheDarkSide15]

I saw the kote at the end how did the guy in white do that?

[aelwenn]

Then again, there is no doubt that both Eiga sensei and Miyazaki sensei are great kendo masters.
