About Kendo

Kendo is a martial art that originated in Japan and is based on the ancient fighting methods of the samurai. The main goal of Kendo is to achieve both physical and mental perfection through rigorous training with the bamboo sword, known as "shinai". Kendo focuses not only on technique and mastery of the sword, but also on the cultivation of samurai ethics, such as respect, integrity and bravery.
