I watch around 20 kendo videos last night online. Around 5 or so where Kendo Vs other wepon arts. Every one the kendo guys got their arses handed to them? WTF? Is there any data on this anywhere? Id think kendo would be a better sword form and art than most other ones. I mean they even found a one handed midevil sword fighter.

I'm sorry, but what is your exact experience with Kendo? I believe once you trained & studied Kendo for as little as a year, under a true Sensei, in a true Dojo, you will have answered your own question & understood why your question/statement is unnecessary.

It is too bad that you spent all that time on videos not having anything to do with Kendo. If you truely desire to become a Kenshi, you will understand my post & why I feel this way after training for as little as 6 months.

I will leave you with this statement which was told to me nearly 3 years ago, but I didn't understand it to last year -- "Your only opponent in Kendo is yourself!" -- now whenever I, or any true kenshi train, this is foremost in our mind.

Sometimes people come to Kendo seeking other things. You need to decide what you want to do...

If however you do choose to study Kendo with a sincere heart & mind, the benifits you will recieve will be far more valuable & useful than hitting someone on the head with a stick: The desire for self-improvement, Self-Discipline, calmness, worth, a sense of place, exposure to rich culture, mental & physical well being, etc...

good luck to you whatever it is...
