what is the diference between kendo and kenjutsu?

[MrTvolaCZ]

@samirletraceur Basicly kenjutsu refers to old styles of swordmaships (there are many), where they train in katas (more or less similar like in this video, using most of the time wooden swords called bokuto). Kendo is a modern post-samurai art, where people train mostly with bamboo swords (shinai) and protective gear in a full-contact way. In addition to this Kendo people also do paired kata practice, which you can see on this video. However most of the time they use wooden swords called bokuto.

been only using bokken for this and i am a total noob only learnt up to 4th kata, but holy shit using real katana for this! so sick!

[MrTvolaCZ]

@dao373 In fact they are most likely using blunt-edge swords called habiki. Using sharp swords for this would be too dangerous.

A lot of people don't seem to understand this video. Kata is part of kendo training, the same as many other martial arts have.

Kata means "forms" or structured body movements designed to teach discipline, precision, and timing, as well as confidence. It is only one part of kendo training.

Anyone that brings guns into it is truly ignorant of this martial art and what it is about.

Sword are very dangerous, it it not a scaled up knive. A sharp sword can cut limbs by sliding over it own weight. Anyone can, from day one, pick a sword and hurt others. It make take years before he can do it efficientlyly and without cuting himself in the process. Same go for guns. For exemple, policemen arent just handed gun, there is years of armed and unarmed training before they can do the job.

@samirletraceur I think they are the same, because the word "Jutsu" in jap. means "Techniques", it is often heard on anime sort of.

If my school had Kendo, i'd be an athlete by now.It took my interest rather than basketball, sorry nba fans.

@TheDeathon And this is what really happens. With time you learn to put your own interpretation to the movements. But you need years of serious practice before you can really do it.

I've never liked any form of martial arts for one reason, a person should make their own fighting style, learn others but build your own unique way of fighting :)
