Kendo is a Japanese martial art, also called 'The Way of the Sword'.
It originated from the sword techniques of Japanese samurai.
People who learn kendo are called kendoka; they wear protective gear and practice and compete using bamboo swords.
In kendo matches, two people strike each other's head, wrists, body, or throat with bamboo swords. To score points, the strikes must be done with correct form and a loud shout.
Kendo is not just a sport; it also teaches us politeness, respect, and self-control.
Beginners first learn how to hold the bamboo sword, basic footwork, and simple striking moves.
Kendo also places great importance on etiquette, such as bowing when entering and leaving the dojo.
Nowadays, many schools and clubs offer kendo classes where people can exercise together, make friends, and learn about Japanese culture.
Kendo helps people become healthier, more patient, and teaches perseverance and hard work.
