All students of kendo - the formal art and practice of Japanese
swordsmanship - will welcome this manual by an advanced
practitioner with a deep understanding of the martial art. The work
begins with a history of kendo in Japan, followed by a study of
basic equipment and its proper care and use and a detailed
description of forms and rules - essential aspects of any martial
art. Beginners will find this section particularly helpful because
of the close attention paid to fundamental techniques of kendo,
including the rare two-sword form (nitoryu), largely unknown
outside of Japan. Each technique is accompanied by clear,
easy-to-follow illustrations. The Nihon Kendo Kata and Shiai and
Shinpan rules and regulations are useful references for those
learning the Kata and participating in matches. The author, who is
also a practicing physician, is attentive throughout to injury
prevention and safety - concerns often overlooked in martial arts
manuals. The elements of kendo philosophy, which can mystify even
experienced practitioners, are explained in simple terms to aid
understanding. The manual concludes with biographies of Japan's
most celebrated swordsmen, an extensive glossary of kendo terms,
and a history of kendo in Hawai'i, where it has been practiced for
more than a century and where some of the world's top practitioners
can be found.
