    Question …,, why is it taught by you and others to point feet forwards in basic stance yet on this video just like other great masters the back foot is slightly angle which is more stable and better prepared for evasion???
    Why are beginners taught something that is very rarely used and makes little sense?

    • @KendoGuide
      @KendoGuide  9 місяців тому

      Thanks for your comment and question, @marcosmiguelpacheco! 😄
      That is a great question. The left foot is normally and naturally will slightly face outwards. The reason people tell you to keep it straight is to prevent you from developing bad habits.
      The common bad habit developed from the left foot facing outwards is to leave your left foot behind. And they "twist" their left foot. When this happens, the driving force that should go "forwards" will go "backwards". As a result, your strike will be less powerful and your strike will become shorter.
      If this doesn't happen, I would say you should not worry too much.
      If your left knee is facing outwards, then I would worry about the feature development of your kendo.
      Does it make sense?

      @@KendoGuide wrong answer!!!
      Never teach the wrong thing … tai sabaki has great importance in karate aikido , in a real fight and I imagine for a samurai a kill strike… never teach what’s useless.. teach tai sabaki…

      Thanks for your comment, @marcosmiguelpacheco. Assuming you practice some form of martial arts, I found the manner in which you started your reply to be rude. If you're not engaged in any martial art, then please understand that we place high value on etiquette and manners.
      I completely agree with the importance of tai-sabaki or ashi-sabaki. My emphasis here is on developing the fundamentals of kendo without acquiring bad habits. So, in that sense, my initial explanation is not wrong.
      You're comparing karate and aikido with kendo. While there are similarities, there are also significant differences. That's why I agree with the importance of tai-sabaki and ashi-sabaki. However, kendo has developmental phases, and it's crucial to observe the capabilities of learners carefully. Through my years of instructing, I've found it's extremely difficult for beginners to even hold a shinai properly. A gradual approach, introducing one element at a time, is essential.
      That's another reason for my original answer. I also mentioned that if one doesn't have such a habit of angling the body due to the angling of the left foot, they shouldn't worry too much about it.
      The approach to teaching and practicing kendo that I've described is rooted in years of experience and pedagogical considerations. While I appreciate your perspective on the importance of tai-sabaki, it's essential to understand that different instructors have distinct teaching philosophies and objectives. Especially in different martial arts, I imagine they are very different. I hope we can agree that the goal is the same: to improve and grow in our respective practices.
      Thank you for your comment, and let's continue this conversation with the mutual respect that the discipline of martial arts deserves.

      @@KendoGuide thanks for your long reply… I find your teaching great and think your channel is professional, but please don’t let your ego make you take offensive of me pointing out something that your ancestors may have agreed upon.
      In over 2000 use of for incidents I’ve relied on tai sakaki and putting the back foot straight acts just like a hand break in a car, I’m certain that it can give you more forward momentum but I could even see it used in Kendo Championships.
      My question was legitimate and coming from 14 years of using martial arts as defence in my job.
      I would gladly recommend this channel to anyone and would be honoured to have to teach me in person any day, I don’t mean to offend anyone, I am just taking from real like experiences when half a second matters and one second is too late.

      Thank you for your reply and being polite. I didn't take your comment as offensive at all. I prefer to interact with people with respect, following the martial way of "Begin with rei and end with rei". I don't know you in person, which is why I replied to your question sincerely. I expect the same from others, especially those who practice martial arts.
      I completely understand your perspective based on your 14 years of using martial arts in defense for your job. I appreciate your passion towards the martial arts, as I share that same passion. As I mentioned in my first and second replies, it should be fine if you don't have the bad habit of angling your body when striking.
      When instructing beginners, my focus is on establishing fundamentals to prevent bad habits that could be problematic in the long run. I don't know how you personally strike, and I'm not your teacher, so I can't say for certain whether or not you have any habits in your strike. I simply have to share general guidelines on what is best for beginners.
      I have been practicing kendo for 43 years and instructing outside of Japan for 22 years. What I found out was the way I learned didn't work outside Japan. Since then, I changed my training methods. I adapt my teaching methods while retaining traditional concepts. No single method works for everyone. If you were my student and I thought there was no issue with your preferred foot positioning, I would allow it.
      Why? I want all people who pursue kendo to enjoy it. That is all I want. If you quit, then you will never know how enjoyable kendo is.
      I didn't disagree with your opinion from the beginning. You likely didn't appreciate being told to keep your feet straight when you thought there was no benefit. I acknowledge the differences between kendo and other martial arts, though we also have similarities.
      The martial arts journey is one of lifelong learning. With mutual respect and an open mind, we can learn from each other's experiences and perspectives. I appreciate you taking the time and wish you the very best in practice. If you have questions, please send me your video. I do not want to go on without seeing what you do in your kendo practice.
      Thank you!
