BUDO OF ELEGENCE Roppo Kuji Bikenjustu – 6 magical ways of the Sword was this Tai Kai’s Theme ) This event was held in the honor of the late Ninjutsu grandmaster Toshigustu Takamatsu and what a special event it was. The sword training was excellent as Soke Hatsumi revaled teaching aspects of true budo in action that only he can. He will take you to a new level and understanding of your taijutsu while understanding your warriorship in true battle. An excellent event with great teaching by Soke Hatsumi.
I dont know about you guys but it looks more impracticable wearing armour.
um… no thats not what ken means….
the sword you are referring to is the chokuto, (to being the word for sword) dont act so wise when your so very wrong.
LOL, such a satisfying clatter whenever that samurai dude gets floored.
hatsumi kick ass i bow to you forthfather amreican ninjutsu
You don’t have to be Japanese, you just have to be able to read kanji. There are at least 93 different kanji with the pronunciation “ken”. The ken for fist and the ken for sword are two different characters. Whether the the pronunciation, which comes from Chinese long ago, is related, I have no idea, but seems possible.
are you japanese to say that ken is not sword
ken could mean strike
and also sword like shinken or kendo
Yes, in some martial arts ‘ken’ does mean ‘fist’ but it has nothing to do with sword. These are two completely different words.
Ken is generally used as a suffix or prefix. On it’s own it generally indicates the straight, untempered, double-edged sword used prior to the discovery of differential tempering. Simply using ken to mean any japanese sword sounds a little odd in both english and japanese. If you research it, in many martial arts it’s used to refer to the hands as well. Don’t act so wise when people misunderstand you.
And Scottbaioisdead, a little politeness will go a long way, even if they’re very wrong.
