@DarkAngelFromMoon it's called kiai..is showing your spirit..while training kendo sempais and senseis always say to you to do kiai..also it helps you to intimidate your opponent and give your self strength

@DarkAngelFromMoon It's to show the spirit, and to make the opponent feel the four illnesses of kendo.

A really find it an impressiv match, i love kendo, but why do they scream like that?

And some of the Shojima's strikes are good but not counted/accepted (confer: 2min38)... :-(

[MrBushiru]

The first ippon of Takami... is on the shinaï, not the head.

it´s amazing how loud those fumikomi were live. the video is great, but it just can´t show the intensity of the ashisabaki of these girls.
