Mastering Kendo: Key Insights by Hyoga Kajitani

In kendo, being able to initiate techniques, rather than just reacting to your opponent, is essential. Hyoga Kajitani emphasizes that understanding distance is crucial for improving technique accuracy. Without precise knowledge of distance, your opponent may easily evade your attacks. Especially when striking from a distance, it’s important to move swiftly without dragging your left foot. Additionally, executing techniques while in motion reduces the chances of your intentions being read by your opponent. Practice the speed and distance required to deliver your strikes effectively, and you'll see significant improvement in your kendo skills.
