7. Stick-fighting is not an art, nor does it have rules - it is to kendo like cage-fighting is to boxing.

Got to call you on this too as i know practitioners of stick fighting arts that would disagree.

Short of the matter is though, these fights tend to be approached as shinai kendo vs XXXX.... like a stick fight. A shinai is only a stick because it looks like a stick, everything else about it says sword.
