“The way of the sword”
Kendo, translated the way of the sword, is a modern resemblance to Japanese Kenjutsu ("The art of swordmanship).
I had my first lesson yesterday, and was quite amazed with the discipline and the Philosophy. I would like to share The meaning of Kendo, presented by All Japan Kendo Federation Kendo:
To mold the mind and body,
To cultivate a vigorous spirit,
And through correct and rigid training,
To strive for Improvement in the art of Kendo;
To hold in esteem human courtesy and honor,
To associate with others with sincerity,
And to forever pursue the cultivation of oneself.
Thus will one be able to love his country and society,
To contribue to the development of culture,
And to promote peace and prosperity among all people.
