Demonstration of the japanese swordmanship.
Contains some basic stances and techniques of the Mizoguchi-ha Itto Ryu, paired kata of the Ryu and a demo Kendo match with bogu and shinais.

kendo is a sport and nothing wrong with that..it couldnt be naything else...all those who talk about it as a form od "Kobudo" are living in fantasy...anymore than western fencing is real fencing!These guys(Ozawa and Minowa )show you can do both and keep it real

Kendo is meant to ... ( 10 months ago by yoruketseki)
Kendo is meant to be a sport. That doesn't mean that it can't be formed or altered while retaining the integral fundamentals into an art form. I've never considered kendo anything more than a sport, personally, but I do recognize it as something that can be formed into an efficient martial art.
I take Shinkendo ( ... ( 10 months ago by yoruketseki)
I take Shinkendo (which is way way different than standard kendo) and though it isn't used in competitions, it's portrayed as a killing art (which is why it's not used in competitions) and is more elegant and efficient in bringing someone down than kendo. I still love to watch Kendo and I think it looks like a lot of fun. But I still recognize it as something very different than most martial arts.
Well if you say "it ... ( 10 months ago by MrTvolaCZ)
Well if you say "it is just a sport" or "meant to be a sport" - this means it is being done solely on the training -> competition basis, like other sports. In other words, you practice it so you can compete in tournaments. And this is very different from the way most people do Kendo (inner self development, way of diciplining mind and body). That is why I think Kendo is not really a sport. Maybe partially, but there are MA elements as well. Let's call it "budo" :-)
Cool. That actually ... ( 10 months ago by yoruketseki)
Cool. That actually answers a couple of questions, though I'm still not as knowledged about Kendo as I'd like to be. I think nowadays, especially in America, Kendo is very commercialized and in those programs it is regarded as little more than a sport or an activity used to dabble with an ancient art. Some schools, I'm sure, are truly zealous about "the way of the sword" and it's easier to see that Kendo isn't just a sport to them. For the most part, though, I agree with you.

kendo is a sport,so is cricket and yet both can have deeper meaning i agree but nothing wrong with either being a sport.Kendo should be enjoyed and has little to do with killing etc!Practice with these guys( as i have done and yes they are awesome but also real gentlemen with a great sense of humour).Because things are martial arts they get laden with "mystical" meaning that even most Japanese find amusing!Enjoy Kendo (or Judo or Aikido or Golf!)..it's all there.Practice hard but keep smiling :)

So what do you say ... ( 9 months ago by tiagotoyoda)
So what do you say about Kendo Kata and Kihon with Bokuto? I recognize that there are a lot of people like you, who think that it's just a sport. But, Kendo have phylosophical and religious aspects that a sport like soccer for example do not have.
As Noma Hisashi ... ( 9 months ago by tiagotoyoda)
As Noma Hisashi said:
"(...) if one ignores the original function of Kendo as Bujutsu, where life and death are
held in balance, then one greatly diminishes the value of Kendo. Although it is quite all right to
view Kendo in the light of physical exercise and character cultivation, if any situation one forgets
the primary role of Bujutsu one will not be able to comprehend the true meaning of Kendo."
I agree, my sensei ... ( 9 months ago by javahippo)
I agree, my sensei always talks about that. He also tells us that in order to become truly great at Kendo, you must over come yourself as your first obstacle.
I'd say its a ... ( 9 months ago by lolinternetslol)
I'd say its a martial art with sporting aspects. People tend to forget the kendo kata and seitei iai parts of kendo when they're talking about it, and only think of shiai.
how is it a martial ... ( 9 months ago by greyzorro)
how is it a martial art with sproting aspects? everything about kendo has been changed to make it sport...no way can it be considered"self Defence". Get over it...its a sport with martial art origins...like fencing.I once asked a 9 dan if he did zen..he looked at me and said no i do kendo...thats it!
kendo kata is far, ... ( 9 months ago by greyzorro)
kendo kata is far,far removed from koryu kata and is but a reminder of kendo's origins but to be honest it doesnt feature much in everyday kendo...i have seen 8 dans who's kata was poor compared with shiai!!!
bujustu was ... ( 9 months ago by greyzorro)
bujustu was training for real fighting and kendo is not..training in modern kendo cannot be compared to training for warfare..do fencing masters in the west think they are producing warriors for modern combat..get real...enjoy and learn...otherwise join the army or a full contact art if you want "bujutsu"..so much aggression in people...do kendo and enjoy what it has to offer...the "do" gives a clue...its a way to peaceful self realisation at its most...you learn from years of hard exercise:o)
What exactly do you ... ( 9 months ago by lolinternetslol)
What exactly do you mean by doing "Zen"? If by "zen" you mean zen meditation or some other such thing, you don't need to do that to do any koryu or kendo. And as far as the kata goes, I do koryu iai and naginatajutsu, and they're much, much more similar than you think. I've seen 8 dan who had very nice kata and did very good shiai as well. Just because a lot of people focus on shiai doesn't mean there aren't more "budo" oriented kendo dojos out there.

"i have seen 8 dans who's kata was poor compared with shiai!!!"
Really? What's your graduation? Are you sure that you are capable to judge a 8th dan?
I bet that a lot of people on youtube are not so advanced in Kendo. Considering this, I assume that we should just follow what was said by the great masters instead of make all these questions. I am almost sure that a great master would not appear here to answer.

"if any situation one forgets

That's simple.

trouble with MA is you think you know what masters are. I heard one Aikido master (i.e. 8yh dan) give a talk on swordplay and it was wrong depending on what ryu you learn!If you learn kendo you learn kendo,if you learn shinkage ryu you learn that,nothing is written in stone despite what you think.there is no "one way".Enjoy each way but understand another ryu may have a totally different understanding...even amongts japanese ryu
