Yes, the shallow male side of me definitely sees the value of having hot fencing women in kendo...!

On the serious side, though, that clip highlighted the brash attitudes of the coaches and the players. Note how they gave attitude to the judges which is a "hanging offense" in kendo!

While I don't think kendo would evolve in the way international sport fencing has, I do believe that directing kendo to the way of a "sport" and away from its' "budo" origins would bad.

In closing, though, yes those women were good-looking and it was fun to watch!
