why would your brother even do such a thing😭😭😭😭

As a former fencer, I love kendo way more! It is more realistic and much better physical exercise, and despite having limited targets, it feels much more difficult and forces you to focus like your life is in danger. If you're having difficulty watching it, I'd recommend watching their feet and waist rather than the wrist or shinai since it moves so quickly. Cheers to reaching out and exploring different martial arts!

Bc whatever they might be doing in "creating their own style" would not get them points. This isn't anime, where anything goes as long as you win, it's a sport, and there are rules. There are 4 areas (head, throat guard, wrist and abdomen) you need to hit with the outer third of your sword, it needs to swing properly (as in, the judges need to agree that your "sharp" edge struck your opponent), you need to shout while making a deliberate swing. No one hand attacks, no stabs except to the throat guard. If any one of those is missing then it's 0 points Be faster? Is that the only key to winning? Any experienced fighter will say that's a waste of energy that only amateurs make the mistake of doing. Just be proficient in reacting to your opponent, and be accurate and purposeful with your strikes and movements

@@dankim7831 wasnt talking in anime terms, the attacks just look off and fake

@@dankim7831 when an athlete screams to attack, cant i just dodge and attack. thats a opening for a strike that would cause a point, why just rub your sword when your opponent screams and charges at you

@@DudeThe_Cat you're clearly not a kendo practitioner so I'm not going to judge you. But this is a long response so I'd appreciate if you read it all. TLDR, you can't do many things bc it's simply ILLEGAL. Otherwise, you'd def see more interesting moves. If you want more "realistic" fighting, watch kenjutsu Call it fake or whatever you want. I can agree that it looks silly sometimes haha. But if you don't like it, stop watching this sport. You're not just trying to avoid getting hit. It's to proficiently react to attacks. If you rely on your agility and focus on running away more than you need to, it'll hinder your progress in developing good strikes, and learning to read your opponents for a counterattack-making the most out of a bad situation It's also important to note that proper footing and stance are very crucial in kendo. Right foot always in front of the left. Break that stance to do your own thing and you could get warnings, and eventually penalized for illegal actions. It can also be seen as disrespectful. If an opponent's weapon gets past your defense and you duck and run, you might say you were just being fast. Not in kendo. Not only is that illegal, you robbed your opponent of a strike when they rightfully earned it.

@@dankim7831 ok thx
