Kendo is the art of modern Japanese Swordsmanship. It's roots lie deep in Japanese culture and the spirit of the samurai warrior. Kendo originated a thousand years ago from Kenjutsu, an earlier ancestral form of swordsmanship using real swords on the battlefield and in training. In 1952, The All Japan Kendo Federation was formed. Since then, Kendo has spread worldwide and has become international in scope. Mastery of kendo is achieved through repetition training in the basics and the practice of the ten Nihon Kendo Kata.
