About Kendo Kendo is literally the "way of the sword". Kendo is a traditional martial art from Japan. It is a form of physical training as well as a rigorous mental discipline. It strives to develop the body, mind and spirit as one. For the samurai, this led to mastery of the sword, and ultimately to mastery of themselves. For the modern "kendoka", a practitioner of kendo, this development leads to better concentration and focus, and thus to a stronger foundation for work, study, and life. A good introduction to kendo can be found here, courtesy of Boston Kendo Kyokai. They also have an excellent Beginner's Guide to Kendo.
