tempestchaos Well I suppose that naginata already has the advantage of reach. Although it is quite interesting to see a fight between kendoka and naginataka. How different is it, compared to a ji-geiko between kendokas? The reach is obviously the first thing you notice (except for the leg protection, which hinders the mobility a bit if you're not used to it, at least). When your at a distance that you feel you should be secure in if it was an ordinary ji-geiko, that's when it's a perfect distance for the naginata.
The second thing is that when you do an attack, then "smack" you get hit on the leg. And they are allowed to use both ends of the naginata to hit the legs, so you're not safe on a long distance neither on a short.
The most confusing is when the naginataka changes kamai: They have serveral kamais that are used regulary (I know kendo also have a lot of different kamai, but how often is anything else than chudan and jodan used except for kata?). It also really intimidating when he goes up in jodan or back into waki, because you know that you are going to get hit no matter what you do.
But it is also a bit hard for the naginataka, because they usually don't go into tsubaseriai. As they don't go pass their opponent in zanshin the kendoka tend to "crash" into the naginataka and into tsubaseriai.
(Probably tsubaseriai is the wrong word, as naginata don't have tsuba, but you know what I mean.)
