This is part of the opening sequence of Kendo taken from The Empty Mind Documentary. It is mostly the 2003 All Japan Kendo Championship at the Budokan, Tokyo. Go to emptymindfilms.com for the feature length DVD. The superb soundtrack is by Richard Brookens of Yellowbell.
「Empty Mind」って「虚心」とか「無心」の英訳でしょうか?調べましたが分かりませんでした。あまり上手い訳ではないと思いますし、「innocence」や「open mind」の方がマシじゃないかなと思います。 いずれにしても、この動画で剣道を紹介して欲しくないですね。あまり上等な試合ではありませんから。

When I think of Kendo it makes my hair stand on end because I can envision the blood spilt from which the art was formed.

@njoinvisablegirl I cant really agree that much with your statement. Being a "warrior" dosent mean you're some divine front figure who spend all his time fighting for honour and justice,putting aside all modern ways. A warrior is simply someone who'se skilled in fighting, through training or experience. So useing the word "warrior" would be rather incorrect for your..hrm.. romanticized.. wiew of a "warrior". Knowing death dosent make you a good warrior, accepting it however, is more accurate.

@njoinvisablegirl I disagree. Being a warrior has much more to do with than just seeing death or sleeping on a hard bed. The death statement leaves much to be desired. We all see death every fall and every winter. There are many kinds of warriors in existence in our time. Warriors of the mind, warriors of the pen, warriors of the fist, warriors of the gun, warriors of the bow. Being a warrior is something from out of ones soul flows. Being a well rounded warrior is having mastery over all
