nah, I can beat people in a dojo because we're all doing kendo
if I took a stick into a street fight and played kendo rules and technique, I'd be destroyed.

I'd be tempted in a street fight if we both had wooden sticks to go straight into Jodan and keep distance then the second they step forward drop it on their head.

but I doubt it'd work.
