Strike Small, Strike Fast in Kendo

In a Kendo match, a mistimed strike can weaken your impact and give your opponent an advantage. Hyoga Kajitani emphasizes the importance of synchronizing your footwork so that your Shinai makes contact at the exact moment your foot lands. Additionally, he advises that your swings should be small, fast, and compact to maximize effectiveness. After stepping forward with your right foot, avoid falling into a walking motion; instead, focus on a smooth transition to your next move. By consistently practicing these elements, you can elevate your Kendo technique and become a more formidable opponent.
