Things were somewhat more violent near JR Shibuya Station in Tokyo, where three youths were arrested for obstructing a special public officer after they gang bashed a policeman

Anyway this guy rounds the corner and these three policeman jump out and start hacking at him with absolute no skill or aforethought whatsoever. Sort of like a five year old bashing a toy randomly with a hammer. They must have hit him about 200 times all the while screaming and flailing the air. They also hit the hostage about 20 times too. Eventually they got totally exhausted, threw down the swords and simply jumped on him together with about forty other cops.
I was very disillusioned by this.
Nobody was injured when the man rammed into the police line, but it created enough of a diversion for 143 people to leap from bridges crossing the Dotonbori into the river. None of those who took the plunge were injured, but dozens were arrested for breaking an ordinance forbidding people from being a public nuisance.
I`m curious. Do people who train in kendo practice with wooden swords at all? The difference in weight between wood and bamboo is quite noticeable and I`d think you`d tire yourself out fast using kendo technique. I did a bit of iaido in the past and the movement was very different.

Well I did Iai and jodo (short stick) too and the wooden sword (bokuto or tachi) is used quite a bit. Getting smacked by one of those suckers will *really* make your day. I read it was Musashi's favorite weapon.
