Maruyama-san is still very good. But Mr. Yang had gained too much weight, and he can't move a lot like he used to.

Its easy to criticize after the fact. It is much harder to actually compete. ANY kind of kendo is always better than idle words. (even these)

@xlargekimchi dekote, as far as i can see

[farrukh]

@JayDay111 it is called kendo. it's part of the rules to kiai with your strike

[JayDay111]

Whats with the skinnier dude yelling well after every strike? Seriously not scaring anybody lol

[rinjimaikeru]

Haha I was there.

[xlargekimchi]

what happened at the last hit? was that a kote? couldn't see clearly with this angle.

[merayfu]

yeah whatever,but Yang is only focus in strike not reading the oponnents intension which is how they beat Japan(at least how Takanabe and Nakata were beaten)

[oextremista]

Don't be insolent, merayfu :)

I can't find Itozaku Fumihide in youtube. Anybody has his videos to upload?

[Sirsmokesallot]
