Overview Of Kendo• Kendo is a modern

Japanese martial art, which descended from swordsmanship (kenjutsu) and uses bamboo swords (shinai) and protective armour (bogu). Today, it is widely practiced within Japan and many other nations across the world.

• Kendo is an activity that combines martial arts practices and values with strenuous sport-like physical activity.

Origin Of Kendo• It is difficult to

precisely say when and how Kendo originated. Kendo was not created nor developed by a single person or even a group of people. It was developed over a very long period of time from real combat and sword fighting situations

History Of Kendo• Swordsmen in Japan established schools of kenjutsu (the ancestor of kendo), which continued for

centuries and which form the basis of kendo practice today.The formal kendo exercises known as kata were developed several centuries ago as kenjutsu practice for warriors. They are still studied today, in a modified form.

• The introduction of bamboo practice swords (shinai) and armour (bogu) to sword training is attributed to Naganuma Shirozaemon Kunisato during the Shotoku Era (1711–1715). Naganuma developed the use of bogu and established a training method using the shinai.

Governing Bodies• International Kendo Federation (FIK):• The International Kendo Federation (FIK) was founded in

1970. It is an international federation of national and regional kendo associations.

• The FIK is a non-governmental organization and its aim is to promote and popularise kendo, iaido and jodo. Seventeen national or regional federations were the founding affiliates. The number of countries affiliated has increased over the years and in May 2015 the total had grown to 57

Game Rules• A scorable point in a kendo competition (tai-kai) is defined as an

accurate strike or thrust made onto a datotsu-bui of the opponent's kendo-gu with the shinai making contact at its datotsu-bu, the competitor displaying high spirits, correct posture and followed by zanshin.

• Datotsu-bui or point scoring targets in kendo are defined as:

• Men-bu, the top or sides of the head protector (sho-men and sayu-men).

• Kote-bu, a padded area of the right or left wrist protector (migi-kote and hidari-kote).

• Do-bu, an area of the right or left side of the armour that protects the torso (migi-do and hidari-do).

• Tsuki-bu, an area of the head protector in front of the throat (tsuki-dare).

• Datotsu-bu of the 'shinai' is the forward, or blade side (jin-bu) of the top third (monouchi) of the shinai.
