Understanding the Basics π
Kendo is a modern Japanese martial art that has evolved from traditional samurai training. It is a physically and mentally challenging activity that combines martial arts practices and values with sport-like physical elements. Therefore, not only do practitioners train in swordsmanship, but they also enhance their physical and mental strength. πͺ
