-- ABOUT US --
Kendo World is devoted to Japanese budo (martial arts), and the dissemination of its vast practical, philosophical and historical aspects to the non-Japanese speaking community.
Although our primary focus is kendo, we also cover iaido, naginata, jodo, jukendo and tankendo, as well as other koryu (classical martial arts). Kendo World publishes books and articles of cultural and historical significance on various subjects related to budo.
Kendo World gathers an international network of experienced martial artists spread across Japan and the world. The Kendo World Team is constantly trying to improve not only the quality of the publications, but the strength of the international kendo community. We would like to thank you for your interest in Kendo World, and look forward to seeing you in our different events.

Came for the kata, stayed for the music. Really enjoyed this video and it was very instructive.

Seriously, this is the best explanation of NKK I've ever seen and I've seen plenty of them. Really educational and sometimes funny. I'll try to implement all this knowledge to my keiko in my dojo in Wroclaw (Poland). Thank you! :)

[@KendoSwordsman]

This demonstration was quite beautiful.

[@Falltangle]

Fantastic explanation as always, nice refresher after having my enforced Covid break from kendo!

awesome! Thanks :)

I agree, this is the best explanation of Nippon-me. When are you posting videos for the other katas?

[@Chatanyara.]

That’s absolutely the best English explanation on UA-cam. I also hope, that sooner than later new videos about kata will be postet.
