The battle of the Smiths! Semi final.

That might be it for a while, I might dig out one of Ben Sheppards pool matches since he is a KW forum person ;-)

Was a great match. However. I have to bring up one thing. At the end, after the winning point when Nick threw his arms down violently it wasn't a celebratory showoff move. He was concerned about the entanglement with Kirby and was simply trying to clear the shinai as he wan't sure if the point had been awarded. Nick at Sat night dinner was telling us about how someone suggested that it looked in effect like "showboating" but it wasn't the case. And after speaking to Nick for a while I have to say I believe his version. So.... As promised to Nick I'm just telling it like it is, just in case anyone here is thinking "showoff". :)

Great vids!! I like the slow mo ippon but the slowed down kiai is kinda eerie...

[doraemon]

I didnt take the camera on sunday.

I dont have alot of other matches, I was really making a study of Brett's kendo to take back home and study which is why almost all the vids have him in ;-)

I have a few random pool matches.

Yes the slo mo is kinda scary, with the kia and fumikomi sounding like thunder. I just didnt have the time to do this for the other matches but I thought it was good for the final.
