This week we take a deeper look at the Japanese martial art of kendo. Martial artist and kendo expert Alex Bennett explains the intricacies of scoring an ippon. We also reveal the depth and subtleties of the exam that evaluates candidates for kendo's highest rank of 8th dan, which with its pass rate of less than 1% is considered the most difficult exam of any kind in Japan. We introduce kendoka hoping to reach the elusive grade, a lifelong challenge for many.

Imagin doing everything perfectly, great stance and strikes, but the judge says your "aura"isnt strong enough.

Imagine training for 50 years to sword good, but the judges say your vibes are rancid

Everyone is so perfect that the judges then have to rely on "feel." Sounds like artificial difficulty in order to maintain the "importance" of the rank.

All of the sword experts in the comments is cringe worthy. I did not know the Internet had such masters.

I get the feeling 8th Dan is more about internal politics than skill

Just have flashback about your friends and allies during the examination, that will surely bring out your inner strength.

I like it, 10 years between 7th and 8th signifies commitment to the craft to maintain a high level and refine it. The guy that passed on his 13th try shows that even after failing 12 times he stayed committed and still strove for improvement until he succeeded. In this day and age of instant gratification I can respect this accomplishment even more.

"negative emotions well up-the four obstacles of surprise, fear, doubt and indecision"...that should be the real enemy in any situation

The rules seem quite stuffy at first, but I think the achievement is such a great reward for anyone who sticks with Kendo for so long.

Well that ended rather abruptly.

To sum up, the pursuit of perfection is pushed to the extreme.

I miss practicing Kendo as an art. Only a few senseis were able to train and teach me in a way that is not a game or just a sport. I miss their advise and teachings. Iwatate Sensei reminds me of them. I think I was very fortunate.
