Fencing represent! It's too bad they didn't show more than one touch—I'd expect the kendoka to be surprised by a lunge the first time (kendo footwork is...different), but it would be interesting to see how he adapts.
Yeah I saw this a while back. What does it mean? Nothing really. One guy touched his sport tool before the other guy touched him with his sport tool. Kendo isnt a good representation of Japanese swordplay just like sport fencing isnt a good representation of European swordplay. Still fun to watch though.
So I'm assuming that was a touch for the fencer since it was a green light? However you also have to remember kendo isn't just about hitting... so who knows who would get the touch if they were using kendo rules...
