About Kendo 13


Today,I introduce to you competitions of kendo.


In shiai, or competition, a point,yuko-datotsu,is only awarded when the attack is made firmly and properly to a target point,datotsu-bui,with ki-ken-tai-ichi, or spirit, sword and body as one. This means that for an attack to be successful, the shinai must strike the specified target, the contact by the shinai must happen simultaneously with the attacker's front foot contacting with floor and the kendo player must vocalise an expression of kiai that displays good spirit.


To be continued...
