Right, so for those who aren't aware, each match is played to 3 points, with whoever wins at least two points winning the match. In order to score a point, it's a bit like in Western fencing with foils; it's not enough to just smack your opponent, there is an etiquette to it. 1) You must make your kiai (the shout) at the *exact* moment you strike your opponent, 2) You must strike with the proper part of the shinai (bamboo sword), in this case the area between the tip and the leather tie about 25 cm down. 3) You must be moving forward toward your opponent--as symbolized by the fumikomi, or "foot stomp" right before the blow lands. This is why the match lasts so long, apparently without any "points" being scored; the judges will only award points to the kendoka who is able to bring together all three elements together: the kiai (shout), ; the proper cut; and the fumikomi (foot stomp).

Yeah, and it's the same with boxing - some mixture of scoring bullshits!
I've never done any kendo, but I've done enough Bo and Escrima work to appreciate the subtlety of this sport to appreciate it. Even though this is my first time seeing some matches I was on my seat! Some of those scores were beautiful!
Yup, I'm one of those that is seeing this for the first time because it popped up on my feed. Thank you to all of those who have posted explanations about the sport. Very interesting to watch. Sport is sport no matter the culture. I think I'm going to give my nephews a couple of cane poles for Christmas and watch this video with them. 😁
As a first time watcher - with no understanding of kendo at all - this is equal parts hilarious and intriguing. Very entertaining, makes me want to visit a kendo dojo sometime.

If you look at the parts where one contestant is holding their blade against the others neck, you will notice that they are wide open for a counterstrike. Those are not counted as victories because theoretically in a mortal fight with sharp steel blades, they would both be severely injured. The victories come from the encounters where one contestant lands a blow and immediately recovers into a defensive position.

i'm with you on that friend. All i can tell really, is that there is 2 combatants, and 3 in ring judges. They raise a flag depending on who the point goes to. I think 2 of 3 need to see the strike for it to count and the one that didn't see waved his flags together, i think that was signaling that they were inconclusive? at the 2:25 mark they seem to give red side a point, but i'm not entirely sure where the hit was? Man.... the youtube algorithm is something else.

Not sure how I watched this, but for entertaining at 6am while I should be sleeping this is what KZfaq insisted that I need. It didn’t disappoint. Silly, but satisfying.
I grew up practicing Kendo in Japan. That was long time ago. Great to see it is practiced in Korea as well. However some of the things Korean team was doing would have been considered 'not fair' at least at the time I was practicing in Japan. It is possible that rules are not as strict when they have international championships. Also I find some of the comments here ridiculous. If you don't know the rule, don't comment.

For the rules of scoring since everybody is asking. Note: only string and deliberate blows to these areas count. As you can imagine hitting the wrist or the upper torso is extremely difficult as these areas are either moving fast (hands/wrists) or are protected (arms/elbows). So the most targeted area is the head and it has to be hit with a certain force and be followed by a defensive or retraction move. This art is amazing and very ancient. Datotsu-bui or point scoring targets in kendo are defined as: Men-bu, the top or sides of the head protector (sho-men and sayu-men). Kote-bu, a padded area of the right or left wrist protector (migi-kote and hidari-kote). Do-bu, an area of the right or left side of the armour that protects the torso (migi-do and hidari-do). Tsuki-bu, an area of the head protector in front of the throat (Tsuki-dare).

@vinhluu21542 жыл бұрын
Need commentators and slow-mo when point occurs. Too fast to see. Weapon scoring region/tip is same color as the rest of the weapon. With slow-mo, we can confirm all scoring requirements are met. Yes, I can slow KZfaq video but not good angle and from a distance it's not clear what happened. Additionally, maybe they should incorporate leg sweeps as to discourage those lockups and speed up the action.

So you can accidentally hit your opponent with what is essentially a stand-in for a sword and if you didn't mean to, don't hit a specific part or you don't make a gay noise, then you don't get a point? Dumb...

I don't know what you define as "ancient", if the Edo Era being the 1600s - 1868 is ancient, sure. Maybe I haven't seen too many high rank shiai matches, but I've seen the most points scored either on men or kote, rarely did I see successful Dou points. I've seen Joudan no kamae users tempt people to go for the dou only to get scored upon on men. Interestingly, I've seen a few rare gedan no kamae users as most who encounter it don't know how they should react.
저는 한국인인데, 한국에서 검도라는게 일본 스포츠라는 사실을 인식 못하는 사람도 많네요 그렇다보니 일본의 검도라는 문화에 매료 되어서가 아니라 동네 학원이나 도장에 운동하러 배우는 사람이 많아요. 그리고 일본인 코치가 있는것도 아니라서 더욱 한국만의 검도 문화가 장착 된거고요. 사실 한국 검도에서도 예절을 강조하지만 일본만큼 개개인이 검도의 본질을 의식하면서 한다는 느낌은 없고요 보다 경기에 집중하는 실용적인 검도 느낌입니다.
For all the new viewers, this is two nations with two VERY different styles of fencing. The team in white are the Koreans who’s style is much more wild and unbridled. Two Japanese kendo-ka facing off is a slower going match but with much more technique in their strokes.

Au JCMA, au Budo XI et à tout les kendokas. de France.
For ignorants like me: There are a total of 4 valid targets: top or sides of the head, wrist, sides of the torso, throat. A valid strike is not only about hitting the targeted areas. The strike must include a stomp as well as a shout to even be considered a point. Continuation of awareness must be present and shown throughout the execution of the strike and the dude/girl must be mentally and physically ready to attack again.
