The Gameslave Podcast - S02E04 - COAF 2024 Kendo with Ito Dojo

This week, we are presenting a recording of a Kendo demonstration that the Ito Dojo of Denver put on at Colorado Anime Fest 2024. Prior to the demo, they talked briefly about the history of kendo and how it developed from sword practice to a sport. They showed off what modern equipment looks like and how it was derived from armor. Then demonstrated footwork, how to wield a practice sword (shinai), and the four ways that points can be scored during a match. Lastly, they invited attendees up to practice some of the basic skills. This recording has been edited for time to highlight the most interesting parts of the panel. I hope you enjoy learning a bit about this martial art.
