I have always been taught to fight Queensbury rules... ie you do not hit a man when he's down (by my family not my sensei), but in Kendo its different.. because its attack attack attack....

I have had in my Kendo life certain oppertunities to strike fallen or falling opponents, and have not.

My question is : is it accepted that a fallen or falling opponent is a target, or should one move to safe distance and await the opponent to resume???

Peoples comparisons between kendo as battlefield, and kendo as a sport welcome.
