Well...Yes.... lot of kendoka did roll their eyes, But alot of them also can relate to the feeling of not knowing what was like until doing it yourself. As for me I have never seen a movie where Kendo was depicted let alone accurately. Maybe i missed that one. To me kendo is the challenge. The challenge to do something well, to learn something that to me is completely foreign, To get up and walk the next morning. Theres something very beautiful about watching a good sensei effortlesly move in and strike a men or do shot. Fast as lightning, yet they seem not to be near as out of breath as I am. Its almost magical. Its frustrating, rewarding, exhausting and energizing all at the same time. It is undescribeable. As someone in the industry i would like to see someone capture Kendo the way it feels not looks. If you do you would surely be awarded an oscar for your efforts. Its that deep.
