About KENDO
What is kendo?
剣道 Kendo (which literally means, “the way of the sword”) is one of Japan’s youngest martial arts, developed over the years since the Meiji era towards the onset of the 2nd World War and thereafter into the kind of budo we now practice today.
Although it is ideally based on the samurai way of life (or bushido), kendo is an invented modern tradition which puts emphasis on reigi (manners and etiquette) and correct form.
The concept of kendo
The concept of kendo is “to discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the Katana (sword).”
