In modern kendo, there are strikes or cuts and thrusts. Strikes are allowed only to be made on specified target areas, or datotsu-bui on the wrists, head or body, all of which are protected by bogu. The targets are men,top of the head,sayu-men or yoko-men,upper left or right side of the head,the right kote, or wrist at any time, the left kote when it is in a raised position,such as jodan-no-kamae also known as jodan,and the left or right side of the do or torso.
