@b22frozenfire Do you mean the attempt of kote slightly before that? If so, its hard to see as they have your back to the camera, but you should hear him hit the tsuba of the shinai and his aite hits mengane, it all wasnt very clean.

@b22frozenfire Please tell us which time so we can give you the details :)

One of the best Kendo fights I've ever seen!

good vid. That is kendo

@mohblazesxx Its not a question of bad fundamentals, the form was good. it wasnt a point for two reasons- First, he hit the front of the men, not the top. Second, Hamasaki didn't break his opponents kamae and take the center line. When Hamasaki goes for men, Furukawa sensei remains composed and his kensen reaches Hamasaki's tsuki (throat) preventing him from going forward. This means that while Hamasaki struck the target, he didnt make an opening and therefore didnt get the point.

@mohblazesxx Under normal circumstances It would have been a point. HOWEVER.... This was the All Japan HATCHIDAN (8th dan) tournament. Any points scored have to be done with near perfect kendo fundamentals. (there was a lean...and little or nor fumikomiashi (foot stomping) and the Shomen uchi (center head strike) was partially forward. In short a tourney of this caliber one not only has to fight superb, but do it in near perfect Kendo style. Hope this helps to explain.

I know very little about Kendo but I am still having a hard time telling whether the strike counts for a point. Like at 5:15 I thought it was a direct strike to "men" and would have been awarded a point? What happened?

ah the loser had a few nice strikes there... could have gone either way

Furukawa's footwork is a thing of beauty. He can move as fast backwards as he does forwards. He's extremely dynamic with his maneuverability and retains his posture. I'm not sure how tall he is but he seems quite tall which makes this even more remarkable. It's also great to see shiai without all the bobbing and weaving to get out of being cut. Thanks KendoWorld.
