Le jour de Pâques 1984, un grand maître s’est éteint à l’age de quatre-vingt-douze ans, après avoir réalisé tous ses rêves de budoka. Les dernières années de sa vie furent bouleversées par l’arrivée de trois Français, qui se dévouèrent à l’étude du budo. Parmi eux, Jean-Pierre Réniez. C’était encadré de sa » garde française » que le senseï Okada Morihiro se déplaçait. De retour en France, Jean-Pierre Réniez voulut rendre hommage à celui qui fut son maître et un peu son père. Bushido lui a ouvert ses colonnes pour lui permettre de raconter la vie de senseï.

"when two people come together and fight with swords, the feeling of striking a particular area will arise in your opponent. At that time, you should give your entire body over to your opponent. At the exact moment when they see their chance and attempt to strike you should strike them and win…. this is real victory."

This article deals only with one such thing: the origin of the use of white dogi (hakama in particular). I’ve heard a lot of explanations for its use, from the ordinary to the mystical, with people sometimes even arbitrarily defining rules for wearing white. This occurs even in Japan. However, the reason for its initial introduction is as mundane as it can be, despite what connotations people may or may not give it now.

Kasumi Shintō-ryū Kenjutsu (霞神道流剣術?), or (Shintō-ryū Kenjutsu), is one of the names used to describe the collection of sword-versus-sword training-forms (kata) for the long and short sword found exclusively in the Japanese martial arts system Shintō Musō-ryū (SMR).[1] The system comprises 12 standing forms, 8 of which are for the longsword (Odachi) and 4 with the short sword (kodachi).

The always recurring theme of Aikiken has given one of the most complete advice in an internet forum in AikiWeb. Quoted here:

Conceptual cutting. A discussion on the principals of how to make cuts in kenjutsu.

Aikido tactics are grounded in sword tactics. Here the tactic of Object Displacement is used as a calibration device geared toward cultivating a harmony between one’s Angle of Deviation and one’s Angle of Deflection.

Working terminology: Diversion - glancing or moving an attack to the outside of the intended target; often done with the raised ridge (shinogi) on the side of the blade. Parry - a fluid blade diversion and riposte movement by the defender. Block - a hard block in which generally one sword will be struck against another at a right angle, typically creating an "X" shape. It is not *preferable* to block with the edge of a sword. But a swordsman will find themselves (during real combat, shiai, or even practicing freestyle in the dojo) tricked off guard at times, and will have to use the edge to save themselves from being struck down. Blocking with the edge is simply the fastest, most direct, and strongest (alignment wise) defense against an incoming cut.

The idea behind this website is to provide a collaboratively produced kendo (and its relatated arts) blog. Many people from all parts of the world can provide information on whats happening in their area as well as writing about all types of kendo-related articles.
