Extractions: About Kendo Origin of Kendo Kendo Equipment Kendo Practice Kendo Kata ... Kendo Philosophy Kendo, is the art of Japanese fencing. "Ken" or tsurugi is from the character meaning sword. The character for "Do" or michi includes the meaning way or path which translates as "The way of the sword". A path in life which is followed through the training of kendo. K endo, the Way of the Sword is the art of Japanese Samurai Swordsmanship. It is rooted in the traditions of Budo, the Martial Way. It is both exhilarating and demanding to learn. In these pages we'd like to provide some information about Kendo and Kendo in the United States. Modern Kendo bears but faint resemblance to Kenjutsu and to its feudal origins of sword wielding samurai warriors which are today depicted in movies and television. Kendo, literally translated, "the way of the sword," cannot be traced to a single founder or given an exact founding date. The story of the rise of modern Kendo begins with the samurai and extends over the culture of several centuries. By the end of the 12th century, the authority of the Japanese central government had declined. Bands of warriors grouped together for protection forming local aristocracies. Feudalism had come of age, and was to dominate Japan for several centuries. With the establishment of the Shogun in Kamakura and military rule controlling Japan, a new military class and their lifestyle called Bushido, "the way of the warrior," gained prominence. Bushido stressed the virtues of bravery, loyalty, honor, self discipline and stoical acceptance of death. Certainly, the influence of Bushido extended to modern Japanese society and Kendo was also to be greatly influenced by this thinking.

What's Kendo?

http://www.cam.org/~hiro/skc/english/hypertext/kendo.html

Extractions: Kendo literally means the way of the sword in Japanese. It refers to the art of traditional Japanese fencing that was originally developed and practiced by Bushi or Samurai. Kendo originated from the various sword fighting techniques of hundreds of years of combat and study. It deals with the physical and mental skills necessary for sword fighting. The goal of Kendo is not only to develop the physical capability for fighting but also the moral and spiritual aspects that may be applied in coping with real life. In Japan, it is one of the most popular martial arts. Kendo has spread to other parts of the world such as North America and Europe. It has developed a strong following in Canada and in Quebec as well. Kendo is continually growing in popularity worldwide. It is difficult to precisely say when and how Kendo originated. Kendo was not created nor developed by a single person or even a group of people. It was developed over a very long period of time from real combat and sword fighting situations. The sword was introduced to Japan from the Continent around the 2nd century BC. They say that the sword was originally a ritual colored object which symbolized the authority of its owner rather than a weapon. At that time, the catapult and bow were used for hunting or tribal warfare. However, the sword gradually became used for fighting through continuous group conflicts in the course of national unification. By the 7-8th century, the sword was being forged domestically.

Extractions: Histoire Pratique Tenue Pratique ... Liens Le kendo se pratique sur un plancher de bois offrant un certaine élasticité. Les kendokas ont les pieds nus. En kendo, chaque combattant doit allez frapper avec la partie valable de son arme (le shinaï), une des parties protégées de son adversaire. Les frappes fondamentales portent le même nom que les protections : Sajoute à ces frappes de taille une pique tsuki de la pointe du shinaï sur la protection de la gorge. Dans lassaut libre, les adversaires qui se tiennent face à face, les pointes des armes croisées, vont essayer mutuellement de se porter un coup valable. Dans les attaques, les frappes peuvent se succéder et se combiner jusquà obtenir le point gagnant (ippon). Du débutant à lexpert, une règle identique gère la validité des frappes délivrées. Pour être reconnue valable, un assaut doit associer dans une même séquence gestuelle :

Extractions: The way of the sword Kendo er japansk fekting. Det er en kampsport der utøverne har rustning og bruker bambussverd. Kendo har utspring i fektekunst fra føydaltidens Japan og bygger på en tradisjon som går mer enn 600 år tilbake i tid. Idag er kendo en spennende sport for både menn og kvinner der det blir lagt vekt på å styrke både kropp og sinn. Viktige elementer i moderne kendo er selvtillit, koordinasjon og flyt i både kroppsbevegelse og tanke. Interessert? Send oss en mail eller stikk innom en trening og se hva vi driver med.

Extractions: KENDO Art of the Samurai Kendo means "way of the sword" and is the traditional martial art of Japanese fencing. Kendo players fence with flexible bamboo practise swords ( shinai ) using both the edge and point of the sword to hit targets on their opponent's armour . The four main targets are the top of the head, the throat, the abdomen and the wrist. In budo, Japanese martial arts, "do" refers to a path or way to self-improvement through martial training. Kendo teaches not only physical fencing techniques but also a philosophy which is inherent to budo. Kendo develops strong spirit, positive attitude and respect for others. A Brief History of Kendo Around 900 AD, Japanese smiths developed the curved samurai sword by improving on earlier Chinese and Korean designs. This was the start of the Japanese style of fencing, as the shape and size of a sword influence the techniques used to wield it. The finest swords were made around 1300 AD and fencing schools exist today which date back to that period. The main influence of modern kendo, Itto-ryu, dates to the 15th century. Fencing was originally practised with a steel or wooden swords, often resulting in serious injury to the fencers. Around 1750, Chuto Nakanishi devised a bamboo practise sword and light practise armour. With the new equipment, fencing could be practised at full speed with only the danger of bruises. By 1780 the equipment had been refined to looked very much as it does today. However the focus of the practice was still more on battlefield technique than philosphy and sport; kenjutsu rather than kendo.
