SPORTS MARTIAL ARTS Japanese Sword Samurai Judo Kyudo Aikido Karate

Kendo is Japanese fencing. It means "the way of the sword". Until the arrival of guns in the 16th century, swords used to be the main weapon in Japanese warfare. They continued to be the symbol of the samurai into the 19th century. The fighters of modern kendo are well protected and use bamboo swords. As in all the Japanese martial arts, the training of the mind is essential also in kendo. Nowadays, kendo is popular not only in Japan but all over the world.
