[KenshiNewbie]

Hello Everyone, I am just wondering what some of your favorites are?
And don't just put one up there... let's have some fun and check out your list???

I'll go first...

The King!

Vintage Budo (5 Stars by the newbie!)

High speed cam (you've all seen this one!)

beautiful tsuki

Calling Wisdom (GREAT meditation music!!!)

"Kodo" - Live (5 STARS!!!)

Metsubushi

Since I'm sure plenty of people will have awesome clips of kendo, I'll post some of my favourite non-kendo ma clips:

Early UFC Knockouts. Some fantastic fights before some of the more stringent rules came into effect. Also when you saw a lot of traditional martial artists in the octagon.

Kuroda Sensei- shows just how fast a man with a sword can get

Judo highlight reel

Brazillian Jiu Jitsu flying submissions- completely impractical, but god damn do they look awesome

Another BJJ highlight reel

What happens when a Taekwondo practitioner steps into the ring

Chi vs MMA- what happens when a no touch knockout chi master fights an mma fighter

Matt Thornton on aliveness- Frankly, the most important thing on the net for anyone training an art for self defence purposes. If 8 minutes is too long, watch everything after 4:20 for the simple stuff

[Chaby]

Short but awesome video.
Gets me motivated every time!

Stealth monkey, Your vid list is great, I have a few of those vides on my account but I don't understand your comment "Completely impractical" on the flying armbars??? The matches are not kata and they are working?!?! The guy is submitting the other.
An MMA fight is a Martial Arts based street fight to some degree I would think? Why is it impractical, it seems to be winning the matches? Can you "splain" me?

Dude!!! That guy gets worked!

[NorthernKendoka]

Scrotum Tsuki

But I'm sligthly biased here since I'm in the video as one of the shimpan. Three equal parts of horror, humor and kendo in a perfect blend.

[KenshiNewbie]

I just watched the video stealth monkey has on his post called "aliveness".... Great vid!!!

[KenshiNewbie]

Good one Chaby!

[KenshiNewbie]

Scrotum Tsuki???

Don't I have to be a black belt before I learn that one???
Is there, like a Tare cup someplace online???

Thanks for the compliments Kenshi, however you may wish to try and combine your posts into one or two big posts rather than a half dozen one liners

I call them completely impractical as they're what are referred to as "low percentage moves", which are moves that might be extremely effective when actually applied, but your chances of applying them are extremely low. For every one flying armbar on youtube there's countless attempts that don't make it and end up with the guy getting punished for the attempt. In this way, they're similar to all of the awesome looking moves- high kicks, jumping knees and kicks, wrist locks etc which are rarely attempted because there's a very high chance the move will fail and the attacker will get rocked for trying

Here are all the kendo videos I have favorited:

Ouji waza by Eiga Sensei

Ippon compilation

57 AJKC in slow motion

Kendo vs. naginata in a non-messing around setting

Demonstration of select waza

Not sure what this is, but it was a good enough match for me to favorite.

Masahiro Miyazaki ippons

Uchimura vs. Shodai at 55 AJKC. Favorited because of the first kote by Uchimura.

Ninja roll!

And of course the standards:

Kendo Owned

Don't drop your shinai

"Come on Shodai, do something crazy!"

Never watched past the first 15 seconds of this one.

Wow, that's more then I thought.

[yoda-waza]

There are many worthwhile examples on YouTube but I usually discount those that feature a modern hard rock soundtrack because they typically try too hard to be cool and are less likely to advance understanding.

[ArcticBlizzard]

Jodan. One of my absolute favourites, very inspiring because she keeps on going even though she's getting pushed around because her opponent is that much bigger and stronger.

NHK samurai spirit iaido

Losing balance

[KenshiNewbie]

I see your point arctic-monkey on the 1 liners and the low percentage moves...
Missingno, those are awesome vids!! I added a few to my favs
and I LOVE the
57 AJKC in slow motion!
