Would you watch a TV show that had four to six kendo teams, with two of the teams meeting each week in a team match with the losing team kicking one member off? Or some other realty TV show on TV now?

Sounds like it would be better than all the other reality shows.
There is a Japanese Reality TV Game Show called "Million Dollar Superman" where the contestants get to challenge the "superman" in some sort of a contest, and if wins, wins one million yen.
Friends told me kendo was a part of it too...too bad I never got to see it.
Friend said the superman even gave the first point away, then take it back by two points...talk about strong...the challengers were all champions of regional taikais and etc.
ever watched Spik TV "" Hey spring triva''
there was a show where kendo vs Fencing..
and fencing won..

I think such a show would be interesting if none of the people would have any experience in any martial arts whatsoever at the start of it all.

There are two types of people: those who divide people into two types, and those who don't.
@kendokamax: lol, that was a point for the fencer ? he touched the tare when the epee moved back.. lol...
Think it was supposed to be a point for the kendoka, but it was a pretty crappy men, slipped off to the right.

it was the first who gets a hit and fencing man got the first hit.
I think both person were champions of japan in their respected sports when they were younger.

no, i would not.....'seen one reality tv show, 'seen 'em all.
further, its not reality. no one can be themselves in front of a camera. every puts on an act.
american talk shows and their 'reality' shows prove that. we also have a our share of this crap genre.
'reality tv' is an oxymorn unless its a hidden camera and that is just plain boring.

I fenced saber for 5 years before I began kendo and took place in several tournaments and I have to say ( loving both styles of swordwork) that they are not really compattible and they are not meant to be. European fencing is coming from a different school of thought than kendo. Stances, strikes, parrys, and footwork are executed very differently in the two disciplines. Targets in saber and kendo are similar but that is really all.

I totally agree, however, I did a bit of epee and foil... It just doesn't seem to fit together at all. As for Fencing, almost the whole body is a target, even legs/feet, armpits, etc. whereas in kendo, you are limited to the nine targets.

Fencing targets vary according to weapon, right? Isn't foil the only valid target the torso. Sabre is torso and head. Isn't it only the epee that anywhere is a target?
As for kendo, 9 targets? Thought there were only 4, maybe more if you count left and right dou, etc, but 9?
I'm so confused...
i thought there were only 4.
can anyone explain the rest?
