About Kendo
Kendo is a modern Japanese martial art that descended from traditional swordsmanship (kenjutsu) and uses bamboo swords (shinai) and protective armor (bōgu). Its name translates to "The Way of the Sword."
Practitioners engage in sparring, form practice, and tournaments, honing both their physical and mental discipline. Emphasis is placed on manners, etiquette, and the spirit of fair play. Kendo has become a popular martial art worldwide, with practitioners from all walks of life.
