NHK Sports Japan — World Kendo Championships

This is a cool video from NHK Sports Japan. It not only has a nice little introduction to kendo, but highlights the recent World Championships. I really like the slow motion captures of some of the strikes. They really help with seeing how fast these folks move!

Enjoy!

New MMA Sport?

This looks interesting. I wonder if it will get enough traction to get off the ground. If nothing else, the armor is really cool! I could really get in to learning/ pitting different skills against each other. As long as it doesn't turn into a bashing match like the current MMA trend.

Could these combat armor suits, designed to keep score and give spectators a first-person view, create an entirely new sport? http://voc.tv/1cRrjAQ
