Great video. Alex is a kiwi, not Aussie.
“And… I can’t touch him. Not at all.”
I’ll just bet that Master Todo knows every martial art there is in addition to kendo.
3 people need to match with Master Todo… so he can kick their asses…
No no no! That’s not an Aussie student! He’s a kiwi. Tsk tsk.
Yes, I purposely searched the internet for this episode, just to make that same comment.
It’s a small life I lead.
obviously
I love kendo.
This is my favorite episode of all of them.
The Australian at this place is an New Zealander, not and Aussie
Liked this episode (the whole 60 mins) a lot but it gets really annoying the way Bourdain keeps asking about “perfection”…
Thank you for your suggestion but I’ve expressed my opinion based on fact and evidence. Your bumblings about ‘spirituality’ are a product of ignorance and your whapanese fantasies and have NOTHING to do with real Zen Buddhism nor Kendo. Your hyperdefensiveness and aggressive intolerance speaks volumes.
If you know anything about spirituality and Zen you wouldnt have posted these idiotic comments about Kendo, and wouldn’t be struggling so much to show how superior you are and how knowledgeable. I never disrespeted your opinion before you disrespected Kendo and its Japanese tradition. You still keep ranting and making yourself superior and still I don’t know if you practice any martial arts. You keep writing these stupidity and keep making an ass of yourself. You POS.
You have mock fighting in your dirty ass, you inferior POS. You’re just a resented idiot so why don’t you …..SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOn’t watch Kendo if you dont like it and do yourself a favor and ….SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Calm down Last Samurai. Learn to read and respect differing opinions instead of being insecure, ignorant and defensive. You should practice Zen Buddhism instead of Kendo.
There’s nothing bad about “mock fighting”. It’s practical and every single sword fighting culture has done it. Your childish defensiveness and ignorance is downright hilarious. If you think kendo and other MA’s has existed in static perfection for thousands of years you are Mcdojo whapanese. Grow up and join in the discussion when you’ve ready to move on from your ignorance.
LOL. Genji Monogatari is the world’s first novel. Don’t mock it just because you’re ignorant about it. I’ve been to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka on different trips as well having traveled in China, Hong Kong and Korea. I also studied eastern philosophy as part of my undergrad studies. Zen Buddhism is entirely different from MA mumbo jumbo. Please don’t make me laugh. I think you’ve watched Last Samurai too many times.
I suggest this: just express yourself freely saying that you don’t like Kendo ….and stop humiliating yourself attacking so baseless to a discipline so admired and respected in the world. To understand Kendo you can’t only watch it, you have to join a dojo and get an armour on and go to the whole process to get an idea of waht it means. By doing this you only embarass yourself.
Do you know how important is Kendo for the Chinese, the Korean, and so other eastern cultures? Do you know how many people practice kendo in the World being probably one of the most abstract and romantic martial art in the world? Do you know how serious is for China and Taiwan and Korea to pratice Kendo? Is it because it a mock swordfighting and spitituality mumboi jumbo? Which martial art do you practice? Only if you’re objective and answer these questions you’ll have a clearer view of Kendo
