What Kendo Is?

Kendo is a traditional Japanese martial art, which descended from swordsmanship and uses bamboo swords and protective armour. Nowadays, it is widely practised not only in Japan but in various countries across the globe.

It is an activity that combines martial arts practices and values with strenuous sport-like physical activity. Isn’t it so impressive?
