In this kendo instruction video, you are learning how to draw out your sword. The movement itself is not so complicated. It is rather easy but you must pay attention to how you draw out your sword.
If you remember it is a “sword” not a bamboo stick it will help you to do it right.
Points for you to remember:
- Shinai has a blade side
- The blade side should be facing up
- When drawing out, make sure the tsuka-gashira is going toward your opponent
