I am sick of all this namby pamby kendo I see nowadays.... when I was a lad we didnt even wear bogu, and if we didnt end up with at least three broken bones every night we just werent trying...here are some proper rules from the old school of Northern England kendo ( note southern poofters wont be able to hack this level of training...)
1: only tsuki below the tare.
2:beginners shinai to have splinters for dragging down the necks, seniors to have splintered bokken.
3: do are only to be used for a)throwing or b) strangling. They should be soft and pliable above the solid section in case a tsuki goes accidentally high.
4:kote to be totally soft at the wrist, but be solid in the fist. lead inserts allowed only for seniors.
5:men to be soft, bars to be bent in numerous places due to bokken hits.
6: any shinai used to be modified to be whippy so they can bend round over the top of the men and smack the opponent in the back of the head.
7: single cuts not allowed, must be manic charge involving at least ten cuts.
8:group fighting only, no 1 on 1 unless its a ploy to sideswipe someone in the back of the head in the next bout along.
9: a shinai losing a kissaki is no excuse to stop, the tekki just has to dodge 4 instead of 1 thing slashing at him.
10:kicking, punching, tripping compulsory. if tekki falls over entire class must rush over and pound him while he is on the floor.
11: unconscious people are merely extra targets that you hit when tekki falls over one...
12:any junior should be beaten to death at least once a week.

There were more but I will have to talk to Denis at Newcastle kendo club to remind me on...
