Hey guys, enjoy this Kenjutsu clip of me fighting against my bro Sail.
A few things about the way we train:
The school of Kenjutsu we train in is modern. I like to call it Akuma Ryu Kenjutsu because it is very evil haha!
As you can see, we train full contact, no consent, full speed and full power (kinda like Senshido but with bokkens. BTW, I'm the Senshido Affiliate Instructor for the Greater Middle East Area, and just as a disclaimer, we do NOT teach Kenjutsu in our Senshido curriculum, this is a hobby of ours, me and my Senshido bros in Lebanon)
Kenjutsu trained this way is an excellent method to increase your speed, reflexes, maximize your flinch, and condition your body to both blows and strength/ speed.
The rules are simple: We choose a round duration (here, we went for one three-minute bout), we put our gear on (Senshido helmets with Plexiglas visors, boxing gloves to make gripping the bokken more challenging as well as to protect the hands and wrists, and groin protection, which I forgot to my grief :( additionally but not this day, we use knee, elbow and shin pads. As we didnt have them during this practice, we forbade leg swipes)
Winning: The Akuma Ryu Kenjutsu has one simple objective: to kill the opponent as fast as possible by either a cut, slash, or stab to the vital areas (head/face/throat, chest, stomach, back, and main arteries, namely femoral, brachial, carotidal). If the hand or forearm or leg or any non vital limb is cut/ pierced, it becomes useless and must be reflected by the victim's movements, offense and defense (we didnt do it in this clip because we didnt have much time)
Enjoy and let me know what you think!
