So do low injury rates qualify Historical European Martial Artists as bad asses? Yes, kendo was practiced differently in the past (and still practiced at some places in Japan, I've heard). But, come on, if someone's goal is sword combat proficiency, what are they doing in kendo as practiced now anyway? Maybe they should instead introduce blades into K-1 or cage fighting. Not only more appropriate and but larger crowds, too.
