@@anhaotcg no, you dont yell to your opponent where you wanna hit cause then your giving it away and they know what to expect. There’s another thing in kendo which is to always look your opponent in the eyes because if you look where you want to hit then they know your going there and you give it away. You generally shout what you hit after you hit it to show your spirit, its part of a concept called kikentai ichi (or something along those lines) which means that in order to score a point you must have your spirit (ki) your sword (ken) and your body (tai) all together as one (ichi) and the way to show your spirit is with shouting. Kikentai ichi is important because if all three of these are not together you cannot score a point. Sometimes people just shout and dont even say what they hit, which is probably acceptable but you usually want to shout what you hit to indicate that that is what you were going for and to make it easy for the judges too. Sometimes people do shout before they hit though, but that is to show their spirit and try to intimidate the opponent while also helping to clear their mind and focus.
@@Tomatooooooooooo I see, I thought with giving it away, you respect your opponent so they should guard/know what's coming. So it's the other way around than?
The final men strike does not seem so clean to me.
1:30 ai-uchi to the maxx, kudos to the shimpan for judging this so deicisively.
3:00 men after piling on the pressure
Great to watch as always
Was the second men of Hoshiko really Ippon???
why not?
Why is the video sped up
Do they shout where to hit?
Before or during? Cause I heard kote, but not sure when
@@anhaotcg they shout where they hit right after they hit it
@@Tomatooooooooooo isn't it supposed to yell your opponent where you wanna hit?
