This kendo instructional video introduces footwork called tsugi-ashi.
You might learn this at an early stage of your kendo session but remember that is for your knowledge. You do not need this footwork for a long time. Why?
Tsugi-ashi is useful when there is a bit of a distance between you and your opponent.
The points you have to pay attention to:
- Know that this is an advance technique. You don’t need this for a long time.
- Learn okuri-ashi thoroughly first
- Move your left foot so your opponent won’t notice it
- The left foot does not pass the right foot
- Do not use this when you are close to your oppoennt
The footwork is more important than learning how to cut in kendo.
