Kendo in High Speed Camera(Slow Motion)

This Kendo clip is from Japan Public Broadcasting's documentary on " A Human's reaction ablitiy".The show includeded a short track start,Pro Baseball batter and Light weight Boxcer as well.
Interest thing about the show was that former studies suggested that Human
can not react no faster than 0.2 second limted bb the speed of electric pulse running through eye - frontal cortex brain - the body muscle..But, new sport analysis studis found
some athletes could react in less than 0.2 second.
Mr. Tanakanabe had much better reactive ability than Mr. Teramoto's. But,
he could not catch up Teramoto's Men already released before his.
Takanabe mentioned in his interview later that" He froze for a moment when
Teramoto change his move from aiming DO to MEM". This split second frozen
moment made his defeat. The narration concluded the segment stating that
" Takanabe won in reactive superiority, but Teramoto won in Kendo".

I was born in the wrong country in the wrong era.

私は小学校の時から２０年以上剣道をしている者ですが、この間柔­道を教えてらっしゃる方とお話する機会がありましたが『剣道はオ­リンピック種目になっちゃダメだよ』とおっしゃってました。

今日も剣道の県レベルの大きな個人試合のコート役員をしていまし­たが、試合は互いに熾烈な切磋琢磨した試合を展開していましたが­試合終了後にはお互いに歩み寄り『ありがとうございました』と着­座して頭を下げていらっしゃいました。

相手がいるから試合や稽古が出来、自分自身の剣道の向上につなが­る・・・

やはり剣道はスポーツではない、武道なのだと実感しました。

@muscularmonkey Too late? Are you planning on a professional career in kendo? Go with your dreams man.

So, where do i go if i want the sort of fighting they have in movies. No disrespect, but this seems kind of boring. Each fight lasts under 2 seconds? I'd rather see combo's, blocks, and full swings than two guys trying to tap each other on the head.

@muscularmonkey It's a fine age. :-)

In Japan, at the Kitamoto seminar, I saw young kids practice and they would have shamed most adults whith whom I have practiced.
