    Japanology - What is Kendo ?

    Surfing around the web I found this documentary.
    It's been a while since I didn't see a nice true Kendo documentary and this one is quite new.. (At least for me..)

    Hope you like it :

    Yes, very cool, thanks for posting.

    Btw, was that just a mistake in the narration, or have I been ignorantly laboring under a misconception that only the forward (right in chudan, left in jodan) kote is a valid target?

    [Edit: the video is great, but the narrator's shirt is so awful it's actually distracting! ]

    Both kote are valid targets when opponent assumes any kamae with the hands above the mune.

    As a matter of fact, I learned both kote are valid targets when the kamae is not chudan-kamae, and also if the adversary uses, for some reason, hidari-chudan-kamae, then the left kote is also a valid target.
