After watching a number of videos on medieval battlefield weapons (both European and Japanese) this video really nails home how valuable a reach advantage is. Here is a battlefield weapon vs a side arm and I keep thinking, I hope the swordsman has some really good armor.
@@tatumergo3931 If kendo moves towards modern Olympic fencing where touching scores you a point, it has completely lost it's meaning. Yes when different weapons are involved it becomes a bit difficult to judge.
No, if Ki-Ken-Tai is established, it can be Ippon even without Fumikomi. I think you got it wrong about Kendo. Please understand that I wrote it with a translator.
I'm not talking about fumikomi. I'm talking about the body movement. His body went upwards, not forward. He literally jumped. A fumikomi isn't a jump. There was no Tai behind the cut. @@Vergil06

I love this sport so much
BLACK STAR which one, and budo isn't a sport, kid
@@Ghidorah96 well its debatable
@@kurarai5136 because the cowards deleted their comments, I have no idea what you mean
The Men at 6:48 was NOT a Men at all. A Men isn't scored when jumping up into the air....
Maybe against naginata, leniency is given in tetms of the fumikomi for kendoka

@@KoggelxanderNo, it's possible to jump men. There are scenes of receiving ippon in shiai in Japan and Korea.
