How to win a Kendo match:1. Kiai- Yell your freaking lungs off. Give your opponent the mesage Im here to beat you, Im not scared of you. Even if you miss a hit, yell keep yelling.2. Patience- Don't whack the shinai aimlessly cus you're only tiring yourself. You think you have the hit go for it.3. Move forward- Press onward not bcakward. That's only telling your opponent Im scared.4. Positive Attitiude- Who gives a shit if youre opponent is bigger, stronger, or better. Give it your all.

Yes, they do have tremendous dedication, but saying that "you cant find any other martial art whose practitioners have this kind of dedication" is a total nonsense.

if you would like to see this without the korean subtitles, go to google, and just type in kendos grueling challenge and it will be on there without korean subtitles but there is a Japanese narrator and there are a few scenes you do not see, like after they talk about koji, his son, there is a whole 3 mins of footage you don't see here.Osu

Unfortunately, young people of this generation lack the passion, and determination that these man have. There is no more fighting spirit.

The basic stance, Seigan no Kame is good, but there are dozens of different stances each for either a starting or a brief moment to be used. The practice weapon itself is the worst part of Kendo. The weighting is decent but not as light or tip heavy as it should be(think between a fishing pole and a sledge hammer). A katana for most would be at least 6inches shorter for manuvering and drawing. The attacks are to linear and with only 12 moves, to obvious. The mindset/conditioning is ok, not great

Kendo is a shadow of Kenjutsu; a sport for the officer class of Japan originally to have some basic knowhow to use the katana they carried. Learn a Kenjutsu or Kenpo style, focus on winning above all else to ensure the greater properity and happiness of your wife...that is what it means to be any true warrior, especially a Samurai, Knight, or Hwang.
