I think this can be very debatable.... maybe to you or to many others, that kendo is a sport... but to many other, it's a martial art. Martial Art does not always have to got to do with self defence. It can also have the mean of self discipline, which I see in kendo. Yes, even though being in a shiai and win or lose feels great, and feels like a sport, but I think there will be many kendokas out there who will agree with me.

Also with there where many threads posted before. There are a couple of ways fight agaist a nito kendoka.

1. have you kensen aiming at the kote which holds the taito. and make sure that you are not in a distance where the kotachi is about to touch your shinai.

2. Tsuki!... like jodan, Tsuki is very exposed to be attacked.. difference is that you have to constantly notice there the nito player's kotachi is.. because the kotachi main aim is to break the itto players kensen and attack at any possible chance there is... this means your tsuki must be quick and deadly.

There are many other ways of fighting against nito players as told by Toda sensei when he visited Melbourne, but dont quite remember what the others are.. soo.. that is all i can remember...:P
