Kendo, the art of Japanese sword fighting, stretches back hundreds of years. It is derived from two-handed samurai sword fighting techniques. Training swords are made of bamboo (bamboo is a lot safer than the legendarily sharp samurai blade).

Kendo is about more than fighting. It also ties into Buddhist and Shinto spirituality. To be great at kendo requires dedication, discipline and enormous concentration.
