okay...and I most humbly apologize for the harshness of my first comment. I just found this to be a bit slow, but I understand perfectly well why they do it now.

I find kata just as intense, if not more intense, than shinai kendo. I try to put as much intensity into my shinai kendo as I can, but kata always seems way more intense. Perhaps it's because of the bokken and the real risk for injury. Perhaps it's because jigeiko has a much more loose feel to it. Other people may be trying to score points, but I'm more experimental and don't care so much if I get cut. Anyway, I always feel right on death's door during kata, and I'm always exhausted after it.

you should search kendo on youtube and look at some championships or something, they can be pretty tough
-
this is a kata demonstration, sparring matches are usually more intense

okay, thought so. I knew there was something exciting... Thanks for the info!

thanks!
This comment has received too many negative votes show
wow... I guess Kendo isn't really all that exciting... I know it means "way of the sword," but this is seriously "way of stalling". It takes them three hours to finish bowing, then they take two chops and start bowing all over again.

Well, kendo is a traditional stuff and has it's etiquette... Some people find it exciting too :-)
Also note, that this is a formal demonstration, normal practice includes only one standing bow to the opponent at the beginning and finishing of the session.

the last part with the wakizashi bokken (sorry don't know the name) is very interesting, don't even knew there was kata for it, thanks for posting it

The short sword is called kodachi.
