Making a Blog Post-Japanese Culture for Foreigners

My topic is kendo.
Kendo is one of the martial arts in Japan. It is like a Japanese form of fencing with bamboo swords. It is played many Japanese as well as many Korean. The origin of kendo is practice of sword for samurai.

We put on a face guard, fencing gloves and breast plate and strike these points each other. Who gain two points first is winning.

Two-sword style is recognized but there are few players because of two-sword style has denied long time.
Tow-sword fencer has normal and short bamboo swords both hands.

Christmas speech

I am going to talk about Christmas foods in U.K.
Xmas Pudding is the most famous Christmas food in the U.K.
This made with the dried fruit such as raisin or the orange.
These are an indispensable dessert in British Christmas dessert.
Beef and the pork were used by this dessert in old days
But they are not used now.
Because the meat is easy to go bad.
Xmas Pudding was a snack of the winter of old days in the U.K
But The Briton eats now only on Christmas.
Because many Briton think that the cooking to boil and steam is troublesome.
In most cases, the Briton warms the pudding,
and put brandy and eats with cream and custard.
The taste is very sweet.
Many Japanese think that it is a lump of dried fruit and syrup.
