It is the first kendo book in English to describe and analyze this famous sport. Features include:Over 100 photographs and drawingsOrigin and History of KendoBasic Kendo Principles and TechniquesTraditions Governing Kendo Etiquette and TechniqueImportant StrikesOffensive and Defensive PositionsTraining ExercisesThe paramount point to be remembered in this book on an ancient art is that no one really stops learning more about the people who invented armor and developed combat techniques. It is our hope that the reader will continue his study beyond the scope of this kendo guide.
