Higashinaga vs. Uchimura - great match. Takanabe's tsuki was a beauty too!

[@KendoWorld]

@Ladakh Its one of the most beautiful debana kote I have ever seen, thats for sure.

[@fooglez]

I love the slow mo, for someone who has very little kendo experience the slow motion helps a lot.

[@KendoWorld]

Sorry for that angle, the camera we had on the court had a shimpan blocking it :(

[@dboyzero]

2:42, gotta love that tsuki.

[@KendoWorld]

@RAlonsoo So beautiful ! (the ippon)

[@KendoWorld]

@DJGMint Haha, As is the way of shiai. Whats more interesting is that the katate men isnt a point, only one shimpan raised his flag. But it was too great to leave out.

[@KendoWorld]

@RAlonsoo Higashi I believe :)

[@KendoWorld]

@utubsuxx You can almost feel your throat collapse just by watching it !

[@KendoWorld]

@ShuyuKoukin Thats fine, we can wait ^^

[@Defsolid]

the one i liked the most is the men ari at 2:38

[@1hiroman1]

hikigote 1:37 and men 2:25 were insane

[@KumaM]

tsuki @ 1.19 is my vote

[@utubsuxx]

@KendoWorld Right, also because he actually did not hit the tsukidare! Haha..

[@MrFass]

Although, now that I give a closer listen to the kiai, it doesn't sound like Takanabe at 1:16, so I might be mistaken... Still, a very good tsuki ;)

[@katorikata]

The Men at 2:24 is my vote

[@rafhalimaxd]

why does it look like many of them actually hit the shoulder

[@MrFass]

Shodai's katate-men at 1:43 and I believe it's Takanabe at 1:16 doing the tsuki; those are my votes ;)

[@KendoWorld]

@tankasty I still do :o
lols

[@Ladakh]

0:45 !

[@RAlonsoo]

@KendoWorld
That match is from kamei sensei against who?
i will love to able to hit men like him

[@KendoWorld]

@rafhalimaxd Good question ! haha

[@tankasty]

0:7 -> 0:11
i used to do this :")

[@isan0]

2:03
shoulder-ari?

[@RAlonsoo]

1:10

[@hwinata]

I take it back, 2:25 is more impressive.

[@KendoWorld]

@fooglez Hey, for people with lots of experience it helps a lot too :)
Train hard bro.

[@igaochacon]

and what about 2:10, connect?

[@denster7715]

What is the rules for this? The one that taps first wins?

[@hwinata]

1:42 men ari.

[@KendoWorld]

@ShuyuKoukin Hopefully we can lure you over to the dark side :)

[@philowing]

2:05 is not a point. shipans are wrong...
