Kendo Owned

An exchange student (presumably) getting owned by a Japanese student. Watch as he exposes his inner ninjer!

move your feet. go forward. dont hold the shinai like your are trying to break it in two.

[neogtrmn]

@darrenwouldgo Good advice for him. Unfortunately I don't think he kept up with it after this was taken. In fact, I know next to nothing about anyone directly related to this vid except for what we see here.

omg when he exposes him self like he was doing u bring down the sword and slice arcoss the middle u dnt continously block. and i mean come on dnt be hesistant ur not going to die and being hesistent will get u killed. and btw if u bring your sword bak like that use the japanese art of sword drawing or 3 swift strikes in a vriety of ways i mean come on learn some sword techniques

[neogtrmn]

@Fre3ZeZ0nE If you're referring to iaido then no, those specific techniques can't be used in kendo effectively. Also consider the fact that he does not have any prior experience in kendo, as I stated in the description. All this is, is a rough introduction for this guy and he pretty much learned his lesson not to use waki-gamae. If I may ask, what is your martial arts background as it pertains to the sword?

[lolinternetslol]

Pretty much the only reason for using wakigamae with a katana was to hide the length of your blade, something that's entirely useless with kendo and the standardized length of shinai...

the guy with no zekken has no clue about kendo. his ashi sabaki was non existant. also did i see waki-no-kamae before he triped? lol, he should save that for yonhonme

@neogtrmn

im glad they have,

this is hilarious :D

[neogtrmn]

@pailhead11 Generally that is true but in this case, as he's visiting from overseas, they seem to have decided to let him give it a go anyway.

[pailhead11]

@neogtrmn perhaps, still i thought it was universally accepted that you shouldn't wear bogu until you surpass the level this guy is at

[neogtrmn]

@pailhead11 I've been training in kendo for nearly 8 years and it's very evident he has had, at most, a crash course and some time watching the school's kendo club.

[pailhead11]

@neogtrmn

good point, but still he does shout "men" and knows that there is a waki stance, i doubt he's got no experience at all,

[neogtrmn]

@pailhead11 It is presumed he is an exchange student. His lack of any previous kendo training is not in question at all.
