Nishimura sensei's Kendo HIIT routine
Former All Japan champion, and star of his own NHK documentary , Nishimura Hidehisa produced this workout routine for the All Japan Kendo Federation last year during the early stages of lockdown.

I love Anthony Bourdain. I don't expect that the kids know him. He's from New York and he's a chef/food writer/travel writer. He has a show on Travel & Living (about the only TV station I occasionally watch). He's always adventurous (he's eaten some pretty crazy things!) and funny, yet also very respectful and informative. He's a great speaker too. What a great clip! I found the full Japan episode (I think), so I'm checking it out now.
