Notation systems for Kendo techniques

Kendo notation systems are structured methods for recording and describing techniques, movements, and strategies used in the martial art of Kendo. They provide a standardized way to document precise blade positions, strikes, footwork, and timing, often using symbols, abbreviations, or written codes. This helps practitioners, instructors, and researchers analyze technique development, share training progress, and study martial art nuances systematically. Essentially, Kendo notation acts as a universal language, ensuring clear communication and consistent understanding of complex movements across different dojos and practitioners.
