고수는 왜 틈을 찾지 않을까? (검도의 틈과 거리)

In this video, we delve deeply into the process of "eliminating your own openings first, rather than looking for the opponent's." Kendo is a martial art performed with the feet and the Tanden. It is crucial to separate the upper and lower body, minimizing any sway in the upper body even while moving. The defensive wall of 'Seigan no Kamae', maintained when standing still, and the framework of 'Sankakuku' that firmly supports it, must not collapse even during intense offense and defense. Rather than forcing a cut by searching for the opponent's opening, it is about pushing forward in a solid state where your own openings are completely eliminated, forcing the opponent to create an opening themselves. That is precisely the true essence of Kendo: "Win first, then strike." Training is about solidifying the foundation, and that foundation is not built overnight. We support all Kenshi who steadfastly move forward with the basics without giving up. We hope this video will be of some small help to your lifelong Kendo journey.
