☆ Glossary of Kendo Terms
- Ura
The left side of your opponent's shinai as seen from the front while both practitioners are in the ready position.
- Tsuba-zeriai
A position in which two players approach each other, pressing the tsuba of their Shinai against each other, holding their Shinai at a slight angle, and looking for an opportunity to attack in competition or practice.
- Tobikomi-Men
Men-waza where you quickly leap forward before your opponent's attack, striking the Men from a long distance by firmly stepping in with your right foot.
- Debana-waza
Counter-attack techniques executed right at the moment when an opponent is just about to launch their attack. In other words, these techniques capitalize on the brief window of opportunity that arises when the opponent is in the process of initiating their move, allowing the practitioner to strike first and gain an advantage.
- Oji-Waza
Techniques for counter-attack. A set of specific moves that are used to respond effectively to an opponent's attack. These techniques include Suriage-waza, Uchiotoshi-waza, Kaeshi-waza and Nuki-waza. These moves are designed to help practitioners react quickly to their opponent's actions, allowing them to defend themselves while also taking advantage of opportunities to counter-attack. In simpler terms, these techniques help kendo practitioners turn the tables on their opponents by turning their attacks against them.
- Futokoro
The area within the isosceles triangle formed by the left fist and both shoulders when you are in Kamae(a ready stance).
- Kuzushi
To disturb the Kamae, strikes, or thrusts of an opponent with one's Shinai, footwork, or spirit.
- Ma-ai
In Kendo, "Ma-ai" refers to the distance at which one's "Shinai" (bamboo sword) can reach the opponent. Maintaining proper Ma-ai is essential to both offense and defense in Kendo, as it allows for effective attacks while also enabling one to defend against an opponent's attacks.
- Kaeshi-waza
Techniques that involve using the "Kaesu" motion, which is the action of blocking an opponent's attack and rotating your Shinai to the opposite side of their Shinai.
- Men-gane
The metal frame of the Men (headgear).
- Ashi-sabaki
Ashi-sabaki is a term used in Kendo to describe the movement of the feet used to deliver a strike or evade an attack. It involves the proper positioning, stepping, and shifting of the feet to create opportunities for effective techniques while maintaining balance and stability.
