Reality kendo TV Show

[KOMA]

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.

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.

@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.

[kendokamax]

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.

I would not evin begin to know how to award any of those "points". But that was entertaining. That fencer was fast.

Its interesting to think of how I would try to handle myself against a fencer. It would be pretty awkward. I'm a very inexperienced beginner, so I don't have muck of an idea, but I think I'd strike his sword, maybe try to break it, maybe not, and follow up with another attack while his sword is stunned, sort of like a kote-men. I would certainly not want to be the one trying to block a rapier so I'd try to keep the offensive, and I'd want to land a fatal blow as quickly as possible so he doesn't just dodge around my attacks and get alot of small cuts and stabs. How would you handle yourself?

Too many reality shows were the reason I stopped watching tv. I think the kendo idea would just get spun into something where you gotta hit men three times after jumping from a helicopter and then ask some opposite sex team mate to marry you or something lame like that for the "open mouth breather" types who have no idea what it would be about.

Just ay NO to "Reality" TV.

Uhmm... We could have a kendo version of "I am a Celebrity - Get Me Out of the Dojo!"... A simple reality show combining elements of "Fear Factor", "Survivor" with "I am a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here"

We can have a beginner's course lasting 13 weeks. Everyone has to do dojo cleaning, warmup, reigi, footwork, suburi, kihon, etc. etc.

Each week they get a chance to vote each other out of the dojo (note: they cannot vote for themselves).

The seniors (You!) get to physically + verbally abuse them. Shouting will increase the sense of violence needed for TV. Maybe just wack them with bokuto if they don't pay attention. Or smack their sorry a$$es if they run through too slow. People who don't kiai will be forced to do 100 hayasuburi, or whatever the sempai fancy. Tho swearing has to be replaced by "beeps" to accomodate the younger audience..

On week 13 the last two surviving ones will be shoved into full bogu and fight against each other. The winner gets a set of RBSO bogu, while the loser gets to kakarikeiko with everyone else in the dojo...

That's what I can think of so far. Which celebrity should we invite..?
