| [PL] Hiro's Review: Furukawa sensei vs Matsuda sensei |
2017-08-17 06:00:00-04
Both are fabulous and strong kendoists of the era. Their kendo is categorized as hardness or gou. Juu is softness. Obviously their kendo is not soft :)
Usually gou and gou fight, the fight ends up with striking each other powerfully but this wasn't.

This is extremely exciting. You can see how one sensei shifts his kendo from 5-dan to 8-dan. The base of Furukawa sensei has not been changed, but you can see how young his kendo is. Enjoy.

2017-08-23 05:28:00-04
This is not a shiai but a keiko clip. It's very rare to see an 8-dan sensei doing jigeiko like this. Tell me what you think of his kendo. Anything that you realise.

This is a video of a person who failed once and passed his 4-D exam later. The person in question is on the left first and then on the right. That is when he failed. And he is on the right and on the left for the second tachiai in the video clip when he passed.
