A men/debanagote attempt at a recent high school championship here in Osaka. The recent rulings on tsubazeria have made things a bit faster, and even more aggressive than before. Victory – in shiai and certainly in gradings – goes to those that take the advantage after all.
This particular shot is published on the request of Ben Sheppard, who was recently in Japan doing a bit of kendo.

It looks like a shiai radiography, or something like that.

Not sure who Victor is… I suspect you mean Victory. :-D

Rolo – thanks!
David – thanks for spotting that – changed.
I think they should create rules to prevent people to brake posture.

I’m not sure if this is the case or not, but I always thought it was tsubazeriai (鍔競り合い)…
