Kendo literally means the way of the sword in Japanese. It refers to the art
of traditional Japanese fencing that was originally developed and practiced by
Bushi or Samurai. Kendo originated from the various sword fighting techniques
of hundreds of years of combat and study. It deals with the physical and
mental skills necessary for sword fighting. The goal of Kendo is not only to
develop the physical capability for fighting but also the moral and spiritual
aspects that may be applied in coping with real life. In Japan, it is one of
the most popular martial arts. Kendo
has spread to other parts of the world
such as North America and Europe and has developed a strong following in Canada.
