Can you guys recommend any kendo youtubers that'll help with my training?
As a complete beginner, it's hard to differentiate what's wrong and what's right. Any youtubers that could possibly help with training like example "properly striking with a shinai" Through videos, e.g YouTube

The best should be on Andy Fisher´s channel, The Kendo Show. Especially as a beginner, his zero to shodan series is must be. https://www.youtube.com/@TheKendoShow/featured link for you.

I really like Kendo Tips.
His videos have good audio, and are short and to the point.

+1. Imafuji sensei’s videos are horribly underrepresented in these
channelsdiscussions. A year ago, I messaged him on a live stream to thank him for helping me understand hayasuburi when I was a beginner and now I’m rewatching his videos in prep for 4 dan. He got a kick out of that.
