I'm impressed by the number of participants in this Dojo. Happy to see kendo well and alive on the other side of the planet

In Japan a famous kendo man said “if you want to be competitive in kendo, start as earlier as you can. Since tip of sword is so fast, you have to accumulate basic moves as many as possible.”
I think kendo exposes one’s diligence and fortitudes more than any sports.

As a Japanese, I am very happy that you are working on kendo, a traditional Japanese martial art."

Greatest thing about Kendo is that old man can go against physically prime man head to head, dominate and teach younger man what is all about, As master himself is still learning.

todella hieno ammattilaislaatuinen video, musiikki on kaameaa, mutta muuten komeeta jälkeä ja antaa koko budoyhteisöstä hyvä kuvan, hyvät haastattelut ja hienoa nähdä monenlaisia ihmisiä lajin parissa

"It's very painful when you cut by a sword." Sanjuro Tsubaki, Yojimbo.

People who practice kendo agree that, to exercize sword as a competition sports and sword fighting putting your life on the line is completely different.

[南斗ジュウザ]

Kendo is not Japanese fencing.
Kendo is not a sport.
Kendo is the ”Budo".
The way of the "Budo” is something that lasts a lifetime.
A match is just a match, and victory is not the end all and goal.
Budo, you have to beat yourself before you beat your opponent.
This is what Japanese "Budo" is all about, not only in kendo techniques, but also in all aspects of life and training to improve one's soul.
The highest level of training in Budo is to "win without fighting.
The essence of Budo is to apply one's soul, honed through Budo training, to one's entire life and to make everyone involved happy.
Such deep training is what makes a true seeker and budoka.
