A question people.

Is taunting allowed in Kendo?

We were practicing some gigeiko and my opponent (a nidan) started to taunt me, well, attempted to anyway. I was concentrating so hard I wasn't listening and at one point I actually stopped and went, "huh?" Heh, he then went, "Nothing! I'm taunting you!" So I was like, "um, okay.."

But anyway his taunts were along the lines of shouting, "C'mon!you're weak! Yeah, nice try" etc. Or laughing at the opponent.

Actually the laughing bit was a bit unnerving.

But anyways is this allowed?

Does anyone else do this?
