Gendai Kendo

Gendai Kendo is a modern martial art derived from the traditional Japanese sword-fighting art called Kendo. It emphasizes disciplined practice, correct form, and mental focus through controlled sparring with bamboo swords called bokken or shinai. Practitioners wear protective gear and aim to develop not only physical skills but also character, respect, and self-control. Gendai Kendo balances physical technique with philosophical principles, making it a comprehensive discipline that promotes personal growth, safety, and cultural appreciation within a structured, competitive environment.
