Say no to drugs

Just for fun...

Would kendo be useful in a streetfight, given that the kendoka didn't have a stick? (when both fighters are in similar physical condition)

[steevyjeors]

Unless you're Keannu Reeves and live in a Matrix world...

But in that case, you won't have to

I got my wallet back from a pickpocket a few weeks back, and I don't think I would have been able to do it three years ago without having done kendo!

Yes, he would have the speed and stamina from the heavy practices to be able to run away.

Okay, so in an effort to avoid making this a completely useless thread, let me explain it in a bit more detail.

Kendoka tend to have better footwork, combat experience (thought not without shinai), and a more acute ability to read the opponents moves. And plus, i think the streetfighter will more often than not (unless he's had some experience in the ring) be overwhelmed by emotions throughout the fight.

...and yet, it still sounds a bit ridiculous, but humor me!

[bixlewlyimila]

No! The kendoka would still be shot by the mugger.

but if the kendoka had level 27 body armour, the gun would have no effect.

out of curiosity, why are you asking a question like this? are you planning on getting into a fight? you should avoid fights. not provoke them. all the kendo in the world will not help you if you're fighting Rambo.

[vNGiDaFX]

yes, any good kendoka would be able to avoid a street fight.

[Dkavtbek]

Carry a Zatoichi cane and kendo is extremely useful. (unless this fight is in an airport)

Why? It worked for Uma in Kill Bill. She had her sword on her plane seat next to her...

[RastusuadegeFrimoum]
