Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Kendo is the martial art of Japanese fencing, developed from traditional techniques of Japanese swordsmanship known as kenjutsu. Since 1975 the goal of Kendo has been stated by the All Japan Kendo Federation as “to discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the katana (the Japanese standard two handed sword)”. Taught using “swords” made of split bamboo (shinai) and extensive protective armour (Bogu), practitioners are called kendoka or “kenshi”. Kendoka means one who practices kendo, with Kenshi meaning swordsman. Kendoka also use bokuto (wooden katana) to practice set forms known as kata. On formal occasions, real swords or metal swords with a blunt edge, called habiki, can be used.
