kendo

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.
