Description

The old Kendo teachers loved to ask their new students “What is Kendo?” Then they would take a seat back and listen to them philosophize about the way of the sword.

The question is like a Zen question. If you find an answer, it’s going to all the time be incorrect for there’s no answer.

Kendo is something different to each and every student who picks up a Japanese sword. Old Kenjitsu had no rules. Modern Kendo every so often described as sport Kendo, does. This is the difference between the two.

To learn Kendo properly you should not think of it or practice it as a sport. You should think of it as a lifestyle. When taking up Kendo the student should remember the fact that the Japanese sword is like no other sword on the planet and the skills required to master it are as ancient as time itself.

This book addresses advance level Kendo skills including equipment, exercises, wazas and the last three katas of the All Japan Kendo Federation, which uses the short sword (Wakizashi).

  • Equipment of Kendo and its care
  • Advanced Waza
  • Fundamental Movements
  • All Japan Kendo Federation Short Sword (Kodachi) Katas
  • About the Samurai and his swords
  • Sword Collecting
  • Sword Nomenclature
