## What is Kendo Suburi Training?

If you have limited access to your dojo and want to keep improving and practice kendo at home you already know one of the best ways to do so is through suburi. Whether you're an experienced Kendoka trying to perfect the most minute details or a beginner trying to put in practice what their sensei has taught them the day before, suburi will always be an essential part of one's kendo journey. 

Smart Kendo - Suburi Trainer aims to make that practice be more motivating and more fun. While not a replacement for a sensei and proper advice, this tool will help you keep track of your suburi statistics and try to remind you to keep practicing.

Whether it's to push you to do a bit more than you normally would, or make sure you don't do too much and hurt yourself. You'll be able to adjust the number of suburi you want to do daily within the app and let the app automatically keep count while you practice. 

Turn on "Save workouts to Health app" and automatically synchronize your workouts in smart kendo with your Health app!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-04-07, version 1.4.2*

Counts well and is very convenient. I support my Kendo fellow for developing such a great app

### 1/5 — Not being updated

*2024-10-02*

The app appears to no longer work (multiple swings registered for a single swing, motion tracking way off) and I am not seeing any updates. Will no longer be using this app and stopping my subscription

**Developer response:** Hello!

Please reach out at:
 thegreendeveloper@protonmail.com 

It will be my pleasure to help you out in detail!

### 4/5 — Record/playback

*2023-01-15, version 1.3.3*

So far I like the app. However, I am not sure how to record/playback workouts (not very clear in the setting, and I did upgrade to pro). Please advise - thanks

**Developer response:** Hello!

Please reach out at:
 thegreendeveloper@protonmail.com 

It will be my pleasure to help you out in detail!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2022-08-26*

Accurately counts the number of repetitions and makes it easy to track progress

### 5/5 — Great Kendo app

*2022-06-27*

Very good app to track and improve your suburi. Would like to be able to replay the video with the wire frame to check my posture, but it’s a great app for all Kenshi.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for the review! If you are using the pro version, you can record yourself with the wireframe directly in the app. 

When the suburi counting screen is open, tap the cog at the bottom left corner of your screen and then tap record screen.

You can also record your screen like your normally can on your phone through the command center if you’re not using the pro version.

If you would like some help with that you can email me at thegreendeveloper@protonmail.com and I’ll be happy to send you detailed pictures on how to do that! 

Thanks again, happy kendo!

### 4/5 — Very money driven

*2022-02-20*

This app is great but it is very money driven, and also is there anyway I could change the name of one of my particular workouts?

**Developer response:** Hi thank you for the review! Changing workout names will be coming in the next update very soon. 

I’m sorry you think it’s money driven, unfortunately I’m only one developer working on this in my free time and the app doesn’t even make enough money to cover the cost of being in the App Store, I would probably need to pull the plug if it wasn’t for the small amount of money I ask for in the app, I hope you understand! 

If you reach out to me on social media I can give you a special code for a free month of premium access so you can see if the paid features are for you without having to spend anything! Let me know.

### 5/5 — Great app for home training

*2022-01-19*

The recognition is very good, I don’t think it has missed a count. However, I would like if the app made a verbal notification when the goal is reached.

**Developer response:** Hey DriftingDracula! 

I remember your from Reddit, thank you so much for trying out the app. The app does give a sound notification once you hit the goal if you use the goal mode to input suburi, which is a premium feature!

If you’d like to try it I can give you a free month long trial for pro features so you can see for yourself, reach out to me on Reddit if you’d like, it would be my pleasure!

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2022-01-18, version 1.02*

This app answers a question I never knew existed: can an AI suburi coach improve your health and kendo practice? Answer is Yes!!!
