Скачать или смотреть DO KENDO | ArigaToKendo | Episode 1: Kendo Tenouchi Explained

People spend years practicing Tenouchi (手の内)… but many miss the most important detail...

In this episode, Taro Ariga (Kendo Kyoshi 8th Dan) explains Tenouchi in a simple, practical way—starting from how to hold the shinai, how much pressure to use in each of your fingers, and how to swing correctly using your hands, wrists, elbows, arms, shoulders, and the entire body in harmony.

This lesson is perfect for kendoka who:
✅ feel like they grip too hard
✅ lose control of the kensaki
✅ get shoulder tension when striking
✅ want smoother, faster Men / Kote / Do technique
