What is Kendo?

The word kendo literally means The Way of the Sword (ken: sword + do: the way), and can best be described as Japanese Fencing. Kendo’s origins are most closely associated with the feudal Japanese Samurai and many protocols within today’s dojo still reflect this cultural tradition. Kendo has become a popular sport form that is suitable for both men and women of all ages, who may practice and compete together.
