		It is a martial arts tradition spawned by the traditional schools of swordsmanship (ryu) of ancient Japan, and was practiced by and large by the bushi, or samurai class of the era.
		Kendo did not start as a clearly defined art --it evolved over centuries of trial and error through combat known as "Kenjutsu" to the present form which on the surface may be called a sport.
		Kendo is one of the things that can be started at any age level, childhood or old age,and with a pure spirit of learning always improve ones-self.

		Originally a method of sword manipulation, Kendo came to be more fully understood through the observance of natural laws on the battlefield.
		While these divisions represent a useful basis for a theoretical understanding of the main elements of Kendo, in practice they are closely interlinked, with the distinction between them not always so clear.
		Nevertheless, it is essential that those learning Kendo first acquire a grasp of these basic components and realize that the practice of Kendo is more than a simple matter of overcoming an opponent.

		Kendo denotes the “nature (Riho) of the Ken” which was self-taught and acquired by the Japanese Samurai (warrior) through their experiences in many battles using their sword.
		Therefore, the learning of Kendo means learning the nature of the Ken. To state further, it is important to study the spirit of the Samurai which is within the nature of the Ken. And a means of learning this spirit is learning how to use the sword through harsh training.
		This is the reason why the objective of Kendo is usually referred to “the way of developing the person.”
