Overview Of Kendo
• Kendo is a modern
Japanese martial art, which
descended from
swordsmanship (kenjutsu)
and uses bamboo swords
(shinai) and protective
armour (bogu). Today, it is
widely practiced within
Japan and many other
nations across the world.
• Kendo is an activity that
combines martial arts
practices and values with
strenuous sport-like
physical activity.

Origin Of Kendo
• 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

History Of Kendo
• Swordsmen in Japan established schools of kenjutsu (the ancestor of kendo), which continued for
centuries and which form the basis of kendo practice today.The formal kendo exercises known as kata
were developed several centuries ago as kenjutsu practice for warriors. They are still studied today, in
a modified form.
• The introduction of bamboo practice swords (shinai) and armour (bogu) to sword training is attributed
to Naganuma Shirozaemon Kunisato during the Shotoku Era (1711–1715). Naganuma developed the
use of bogu and established a training method using the shinai.
