Attention Moderators: PLEASE don't move this thread, even
though it's more appropriate for the sword arts section, I think
all members can appreciate this.

This is Paul Anderson, a student of Sensei Craig (in Houston)
executing a "tsuki" on an opponent in Japan. Look how much
the shinai bends!!

Note ... "tsuki" is a thrust shot to the throat.

Damn glad I was not on the one being hit. That must have taken a great deal of power
Maybe thats why I dont practice kendo

The story as I was told is that the one on the receiving end now
wants a rematch. You know he's been practicing tsuki for hours
upon hours, day after day since then!

Instead of practicing tsuki, he should be practicing getting the heck out of the way......

Footwork, footwork, footwork.....
