Purpose: Investigate the kinematic differences between two levels of university male kendoka in men attack. Methods: Eight collegiate 1st level (First) kendoka and eight collegiate 2nd level kendoka (Second) participated in this study. (1st level kendoka: 21.5 ± 1.2 years, 171.0 ± 4.0 cm, 67.5 ± 11.9 kg; 2nd level kendoka: 21.1 ± 4.0 years, 173.6 ± 11.9 cm, 68.5 ± 2.1 kg). A 3D ten cameras motion analysis system (Vicon MX13^ ) were used to collect human kinematic data. Vicon Nexus software was used to analyze the kinematic of kendoka during men attack. The Mann-Whitney U Test was to test the difference between two groups. Significant level was set at α = .05 in study. Results: First exhibited short attack time and faster attack velocity, and smaller vertical displacement center of mass (COM) displacement than Second. The First have greater shoulder flexion angle but smaller wrist radial deviation angle than the Second at hold up phase. In the lower limbs, First have a greater hip flexion angle than the Second, but the Second have a greater knee flextion angle at hold up phase. Conclusion: First utilized greater shoulder flextion and minor wrist flextion angle to attack in the Shinai hold up. Therefore it has short attack orbit, that can reducing distance and total time of attack.
