- Dalewyn 2y agoI strongly prefer watching kendo over fencing because of that; the human element in fencing is essentially a technicality as far as I'm concerned as just a guy watching.

- harimau777 2y agoYou might enjoy this video! The actual topic is the history of Aikido, but it shows some neat historical footage of, for lack of a better term, pre-Kendo Kendo. That is to say, Kenjutsu/Iaijutsu schools sparring using Kendo gear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7yyqLyPGDk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7yyqLyPGDk
