@Defsolid ok now i understand what you mean ^^

[Defsolid]

@PredatorWolf1 Ok let me explain why i disagreed with your first comment, Itto ryu isn't a style of "Kendo kendo", it's a koryu/old shool, and what we see in that video are two "Kendo kendo" hachidan sensei engaging in "Kendo kendo" shiai, nothing to do with Itto ryu. To put it simply your first comment can easilly mislead those that don't know what "Kendo kendo" is :)

@Defsolid what i mean is theres many ways to practice Kendo kendo is just a little part of Sword art! :-D

[Defsolid]

@PredatorWolf1 Enlighten me because i don't understand what you mean by styles if you include the Itto ryu in the "styles" of kendo.

[Defsolid]

@PredatorWolf1 Enlighten me then.

@Defsolid theres many kendo styles and we have something in comen i practice kendo too i'm at nidan so i know something about it!

[Defsolid]

@PredatorWolf1 What do you mean many styles?! Are you saying kendo as in kenjutsu or are you just confused because it says Itto Ryu enbu on the title.

I practice kendo of course not at the level of the hachidan kendo sensei on the video, i'm pretty sure that's not Itto ryu though it had a great influence (Hokushin Itto ryu to be specific) on the formation of "Kendo" especially the nihon kendo kata.

@bushikan21 there are many styles of kendo so there can be Itto Ryu
