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.

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