Kendo originates from Japan and is a martial art that uses bamboo swords.
Kendo is considered one of the safest martial arts in the world.
The word kendo comes from two Japanese kanji letters, namely Ken which means sword and do which means path or way.
Kendo is often referred to as a sword path and emphasizes the development of character and morality, not just martial arts ability.
The head protector used in kendo is called men and has a rope called Datotsu no Himo which is used to determine points.
Kendo has a ranking system similar to karate and judo, with students given a black belt after achieving certain skills.
Besides in Japan, Kendo is also popular in countries such as Korea, the United States and Europe.
Kendo is an official sport at Universiade and the Asian Games.
One of the important techniques in Kendo is meng-uchi, which is attacking the opponent's head with a bamboo sword.
Kendo is also a sport that is very centered on etiquette and manners, including greetings spoken before and after the match.
