Hey you said they're beginners..... YOU should be the one telling them "nonono"!

It's good for that particular one to learn from the AJK Champ... At least it's important for beginners to have a strong spirit with initiative to attack. Watching is the best way to learn Kendo! Instead of doing your own cuts not knowing what they should be delivered... watching the others make beginners/everyone correct their own bad habits.

At least you know where that's from Durrell... I don't know where one of the beginners in my dojo learn this from: a missed Gyaku-kesa-giri ended up on someone's thigh!

But I cannot imagine anyone to try doing things after watching Kyoto Taikai/Enbu... I recall one clip I saw was a Hachidan vs Hachidan.... for 4/5 minutes there isn't a single cut, but pure Kiai and seme...... Not for beginners.
