THE CONCEPT OF KENDO
The
concept of Kendo is to discipline the human
character through the application of the
principles
of the Katana (sword).
The
purpose of practicing Kendo is:
To mold the mind and body,
To cultivate a vigorous spirit,
And through correct and rigid training,
To strive for improvement in the art of Kendo,
To hold in esteem human courtesy and honor,
And to forever pursue the cultivation of
oneself.
Thus
will one be able
To love his country and society,
To contribute to the development of culture,
And to promote peace and prosperity among all
peoples.
