Homerun

[Twobitmage]

In baseball, its the homerun. In basketball the slamdunk, in golf, the eagle.

So, in kendo, what would you call the moment of "pwnage"? your own opinion of course

[mystic_kendoka]

actually in golf it would be a hole in one, or an albatross (1 better than an eagle)

skullcracker(men), wristmasher(kote), ab-ripper(do), necktwister(tsuki)

I like the skullcracker

I'd think its tsuki. I mean, how often do people actually score with that? Its quite impressive when you get a clean one off.

For me the home run of kendo would be a cut where body, mind and sword are one.

Homerun, the kendo definition...
After smacking opponent out of the arena, throw your shinai away, run around the 3 shinpan's, and return to original place. If anyone obstructs you, complain about foulplay.

[Chook]

I call it Zanshin.

[samurai999]

I say tsuki in terms of kihon. Even if you score it in teh beginning or end, it is like a slam dunk. Or if you hit a "helicopter men" or a "bunny men" you get the hit plus the "ooooooo... aaaaaaaa" effect..

Is the bunny men the one where someone runs at you from outside the Issuko Itto range (forgot what it's called) and jumps and hits your men just as he hits the ground?

What's helicopter men?

Helicopter men and bunny men are not official names for kendo moves. They are made-up names by some people in a dojo in Southern California.

Oh, I know they're not official names, but everytime I've seen bunny men used, I couldn't figure out what it actually was.
I did however go up against someone in a shiai a few weeks back who did a men on me which was as I described so I just thought maybe that's what a bunny men was.

For me, the Homerun of kendo would be a so good ippon that your oponnent doesn't even have the time to move.
