Do You Know What Kendo Is?
Kendo to me is different from what kendo is to you. Some people do kendo as their hobby, some people do kendo as their occupation and some people do kendo to maintain their health. Some do kendo because they have high respect towards samurai. Whatever the reason is for you to do kendo, I think it is cool.
Here I would like to share what kendo can give us. First off, I would like to start with the concept of kendo.
The concept of kendo is "to discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the Katana (sword)." (Ref:
International Kendo Federation: Concept of Kendo).
One sentence. Very simple. But I have a question. How do we discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the Katana? Do we really know the principles of the katana? Do we train along the principles of the katana? How do we do that?
