Bokken Sparring

You don't have to hold back boys you don't really have to hold back that's actually incredible what you're doing with your wooden sticks swords I just wish I could have been doing stuff like that in karate and maybe dangerous but it's actually pretty unique and very very skillful 🥋👊😉👍🥋

i enjoy watching this

100% looks like drills...

But awesome!

You know why it's called a boken? You hit someone over the head hard enough their skull will be boken in two!

Not exactly the greatest, eh?

This can only be understood by people who have trained Kendo for a long time. Both sides appear to be Kendoka, and if you look closely, a man dressed in comfortable clothes appears to be at a higher level. When the opponent's attack comes, he does not break his posture, so he stops the opponent and maintains calmness.

Can somebody explain this to me? All I'm seeing is two dudes with absolutely zero defense. In every exchange, both parties would be killed or incapacitated because they're all simultaneous hits. Why is neither person putting any emphasis on proper defense?

The good thing about wooden swords is that, unlike bamboo swords, you can practice with the same movements seriously.

So basically, they put a pro up against someone of greatly inferior skill. One of those dojos, i see. Where the lower~ranking students can pretty well count on having the shit beat out of them by the seniors and owner for the first three years of training. I'd probably get tired of that pretty fast and drop out.

This is an exceptionnal display of control and mastery, intense Sanchin

pointless.....sparring as if with shinai....

🤩⚔️

江戸時代はこんなことをしたいのかもしれないが袋竹刀にとどめておいた方が....

Each sparring session .. you learn something new.. you from your opponent ..and he from you.OSH!

very nice

That was beautiful man

Me: uhh how?? I feel like i can defeat them

Well done.

when he yelled it scared the crap out of me. lol

Good way to lose an eye. I’ve seen it happen

I want ro fight like kitsune

You have to have trust in either your opponent or yourself that you wear that little protective gear.

I’m going to say it the white head band guy was not trying fr

Awesome! OSU!

They be dancing samba

great skill, esp guy with white headband

Lol its in gmz in germany wiesbaden

The guy with his head hand his form is wrong

Man if I was the guy with the black headband I would be so frustrated

That green effect from the begging of the video almost gave me a stroke

Can anybody told me how much weight does that bokken contain?

Noice

I wish there was some competition with this type of fight

You can't do a real sparring with bokuto as a weapon, is irresponsible and sets a bad example for beginners and everyone else. They even look bad because it is immediately noticeable that both are contained. Therefore, you cannot call it "sparring" since it is NOT even remotely.
For sparring you need to use a fukuroshinai at least, that way you can enter with full strength and speed more safely and put your technique to test. Even if you do not wear bogu, you can avoid the serious injuries (except maybe for the eyes and throat) that a bokuto can cause.

For anyone who believe that sparring with a bokuto is fine and fun: A bokuto in the hands of a master is as dangerous as a living blade, but it is even more dangerous in the hands of an imbecile. If you think it is fun or "educational" to swinging it towars someone else, you have no idea what damage you can cause, even if you think you're doing it right. Take this very clear: the bokuto is a study instrument for the art of the japanese buki waza, for the practice of suburi, technical forms (kata) and pre-arranged kumitachi ONLY.

this is why modern kendo sucks. hes looking for the point. the hema guy is actually FIGHTING.
kendo bad, Kenjutsu good.

Im really lost I don't know where to get a good bokken to use for practice?
Which ones are good for beginners and which ones are good for non-beginners?

When I watch this video, all I can think of is the phrase "If the enemy is in range, so are you."

This must have really hurt the Japanese guys's pride.

So that's where my girlfriends leggings went

This was quite good, gentlemen. Respect.

They move so fast my eyes cant catch up

Put them up against a long sword and they’re long gone lol

Holy fuck man, That's seriously not safe.

You deleted hate comments didn't you? Cute
