Beyond “TimeShift”…

Further to Kendo’s recent appearance in the BBC4 TimeShift programme, we can reveal that we have 2 further Kendo movies under way.

The first has the working title of “A Day In The Life”, showing the goings-on around Kendo on the day of his bout at the Wolverhampton Civic in November 2008. There are some fascinating insights, including a dressing-room scene that literally took someone’s breath away!

The second movie (currently being scripted) gives a comprehensive insight into Kendo’s spiritual life, particularly the enduring influence of Kenshiro Abbe. There will be many brand new insights, including the part that Shintoism still plays in Kendo’s life, as well as meditation, calligraphy, healing, and much more.

There’s so much to Kendo that it’s a challenge to keep track of it all, but our new films will try to do that!
