Kendo can easily be described as "Building one's character through the way of the sword", it requires discipline and commitment over a long period of time as not only can it be considered as a form of Martial Arts, a large part of it that you will learn is about the Japanese Culture. Kendo is still being practised in the communities of Japan today in High Schools, Universities, the Police Force, and even in Companies. Kendo also promotes the health of the mind and body.
