  • kendo is cool

  • Yeah, you are wrong. I don't know what your source of information is, but Sacramento didn't adopt any Japanese policing model.

    Face it, community policing is not the reason why Japanese people behave the way they do. It's their culture. As I said before, japan is not the only place where the police have good community relations.

    You've yet to provide a reference of a yakuza drive-by shooting, so I'm guessing you know of none.

  • im 13 and i just started doing kendo but i wanna learn nitoryu and i still dont know if i can at my dojo :(

  • 2:01

  • These guys are vicious. Refs only acknowledge a point if the strike is struck with a lot of force. In 2:02 one of the the participants was even kicked in the leg. He was swept by his opponent and then struck in the abdomen.

  • more like fencing than real sword fighting

  • heh, the police kendo is on

  • @elsamuraiguapo The United States HAD Good Police Community Relationship, that went to shit after the 60's

  • @Kyominai Well the ones that visit our dojo are 3/4 dan and they never look a day past 35.

    It's true though that the new shiai scoring rules have been flexed to breaking point. There's even a new sub-style of kendo developing outside Japan. I've fought a few of it's followers in south-west England and they're all terrible. There's a lot of ducking and turning and general weakness in kamae. Eventually I got so pissed off I decided to push them over instead of scoring points.

  • @Kyominai I never said they were, you needn't remind me of the difference but you must recognise that people in these competitions typically reach 6,7 or maybe 8 dan, so they are among the best practitioners of what kendo pursues also.

    When it comes to shiai competitions these guys have to play the game like the rest of us. Breaking kamae, imperfect and hastened attacks, it doesn't matter, you aren't in a grading and you do your best to learn shiai seperate from kendo.

  • stange form, very violent!

  • The force is strong with this one
