Withers M.A.A. Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 I've trained with the sword for a while. I've never actually trained in Kendo with the armor but I plan on training in that system within the next year. 2nd Degree black belt in Kenpo Karate and Tae Kwon Do. 1997 NASKA competitor-2nd place Nationally in Blackbelt American Forms.

OldRookie Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 No such luck here.....we have fencing @ the local college but no Kendo. It wouldn't help with any real world self defense of course; (maybe the added discipline would help..?) but I think it would be fun. *1st Dan Oct 2004*"Progress lies not enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.""It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them."

ZeRo Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 i really want to do kendo but no where near me does it. it looks dam cool with the armour and stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searcher Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 My wife and I both practise kendo. We use it to help my wife's bunkai with her sword training. She is a master swordswoman and she uses it to also beat me half to death. I teach a little different version of kendo to my students. We use punches, kicks, joint locks, takedowns and the shinai in my version of it. My wife practises kenjutsu, but the kendo armour is a nice way to test skills.

MonkeyNinja Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Kenjustu(also known as Iaijutsu) is a big part of our training, but we don't do much with kendo fighting. At least not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kensai Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I will do Kenjutsu, as part of my Aikido training. However we use bokkens and no shinai's. Eye of the Tiger, I thought the Kobudo ment the budo arts from Okinawa. And the Okinawans by tradition dont use Shuriken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
