I think this kirikaeshi is for shiai kendo specifically. Anybody worried by the apparent difference between this and a regular one just rest easy. There are many different ways to to everything in kendo and they're all correct...unless it's kumdo.

@ihaterobbie123 Its simply a wrist excercise.

@ihaterobbie123 agree

[ihaterobbie123]

@kenshi247net Well it practices a lot of movements.

[tenken1013]

@ihaterobbie123 dude, do not rip on kumdo. its the same bloody thing.

its not a standard kirikaeshi, this kirikaeshi is what i think is for wrist flexibility and endurance.

[kenshi247net]

guys, this isnt meant to be a standard kirikashi.

IMHO he may be fast but he's not cuting yoko/sayu men, if the receiver gets his shinai out of the way he'll surely cut the air the way he's going at it, the same goes for in the background.
