  • Kendo (剣道 Kendō) , is the martial art of Japanese fencing, developed from traditional techniques of Japanese swordsmanship known as kenjutsu. Since 1975 the goal of Kendo has been stated by the All Japan Kendo Federation as "to discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the katana (the Japanese standard two handed sword)". Kendo is a physically and mentally challenging activity that combines strong martial arts values with sporting like physical elements. Practitioners of kendo are called kendoka (one who practices kendo) or kenshi (swordsman). The latter may also be applied to practitioners of other traditional Japanese sword arts. Kendo is taught using "swords" made of split bamboo called shinai and extensive protective armour (bogu) is worn to protect specified target areas on the head and body. Kendoka also use bokuto (wooden swords) to practice set forms known as kata. On formal occasions, real swords or swords with a blunt edge, called kata-yo or habiki, may be used for a display of kata. A part of net information on South Korea, Kumdo main gym, and Kumdo by the practice life are and there is a selfish insistence of founder of the kendo. However, when the source of the South Korea is opened to the public with the net, a lot of fabrication points are admitted, and it antagonizes it big in Japan. A cultural plagiarism of South Korea is being put in question in the United States as news takes up the feature that points out fabrication by the Republic of Korea including Kumdo. Moreover, the plagiarism problem of this kendo was taken up in the Japanese kendo league (International Kendo Federation), and fixed as an international fact that it was a Japanese origin. [1] In addition, this plagiarism is taken up by an opposite riot and the commotion of South Korea to such a plagiarism tone of argument in not only Japan and the United States but also each country of Europe, and contempt and the disregard of the another country culture to the Republic of Korea have been sent also to the anxiety that comes into question internationally with a lot of plagiarisms.

For a short time fencing replaced kendo in popularity as a way to pretend to be a samurai without looking like a nerd, however it was later dismissed as simply "too lame". With the outbreak of World War I and its aftermath, kendo was promoted in Japan as a martial art, school children being forced to learn either kendo or Judo, or be converted into Soylent Green for the rapidly exploding East Asian population. These days, it is kept up as a way of fighting obesity in Children, however dancing will also be offered to keep the sissies happy. After the close of the second world war, military emphasis in this sport caused the Allies to ban Kendo and other military arts, however they were often too busy in the pleasure districts to enforce this rule, thus kendo has continued to be practised in Japan to this day. Since then, it has spread to the rest of the world, whether the rest of the world likes it or not.
  • Kendo (lit. meaning "Way of the Sword") is a Japanese martial art that focuses on sword techniques. Rather than using actual swords, however, (as this would be very dangerous) Kendo practitioners train with bamboo swords called shinai. Kendo is a sport that places great importance on etiquette. A kendo contest begins with the contestants exchanging formal bows and ends with another exchange of courtesy. This courteous bow is called rei in Japanese. The motion expresses a person's wish for victory, respect to their instructors, and gratitude to the friends who practice with them. People who practice kendo (sometimes called kendoists) are ranked according to ability and the length of time they have dedicated themselves to the sport. A beginner is ranked as seventh kyu, or rank. There are tests to pass when moving up to the next rank; after heading through sixth kyu, fifth kyu, and all the way up to first kyu, a kendoist moves into a new series: dan. Beginning Dan is the lowest of these, and it is followed by first Dan, second Dan, and so on. Tenth Dan is the highest rank possible in the world of kendo. In an actual bout, the aim is to strike your opponent on the body, but not just anywhere. There are designated strike zones, and the contestant must call out the name of the strike zone when making the strike. There are three strike zones: the head, trunk, and forearm (men, do, and kote, respectively, in Japanese). Actually, there is also a fourth strike zone--tsuki, or the part of the throat beneath the head and shoulder protector--but this is considered dangerous and is not permitted for children up to middle school age. In kendo, strikes on any other parts of the body do not score points. The time limit on a contest is five minutes. The contestant who is the first to score two points is the winner.
