Nito Ryu Kendo


With the help of Satomi Sensei, I've spent the past 3 weeks study Nito Kendo (2 sword kendo). Most of what I've heard of 2 sword kendo is negative by I still have the curiosity to try to learn the style and be away of it's benefits and faults. After Satomi Sensei explaining it to me multiple times I've finally figured out how to strike. The center of balance of the shinai (sword) must stay in the center of you body to make a quick strike. Using strength to strike is too slow but leverage is the best approach.
