On first impressions, Kendo appears to be very aggressive and physical, with the dynamics of a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] fast-striking actiong and high-pitched screams. Yet it is an art that places [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] great emphasis on the development of high level of skill in concentration, timing, awareness, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] physical agility, footwork, body movement and inherent respect. Kendo was derived from the ancient art of Japanese Samurai swordsmanship. Armour is worn for protection and sword, made of 4 sections of bamboo is bound together to make what is known as sinhai.
History:
Kenjutsu is an ancient martial art, dating back to before 1590, followed by Kendo, which had more intellectual and philosophical characteristics. Kenjutsu became modern Kendo, which has developed a sport-oriented nature that still embodies many of the traditional values.
While Kendo is very much a modern art that has been influenced [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] by Kenjutsu, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] its roots can be traced back as far as AD 789, through the history of the art of the sword which is linked inextricably to the history of ancient Japan. It was at this time that Komutachi, the sword exercise, was introduced as in instruction for the sons of the kuge (noblemen) in the city of Nara, then the capital of Japan.
Aim of Kendo:
The aim of Kendo is for kendoka to react intuitively, with fluency and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] elegance. Speed and body movement are of the utmost importance in the delivery of a skillful technique. Yet the aim is not to be the first one to score a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] point or to win in the Kendo practice, but to work together, striving towards good technique, giving and taking along the way. Only in competitions should this philosophical aim [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] be different.
On first learning Kendo, or any other martial, it is very important [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] tread slowly. It is [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] very essential to tread slowly because it is [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] easy when people wear armour so suddenly to feel they can dive in regardless, without appreciating the need for continual practice to develop the skills to a standard acceptable in the art. It is important not only to demonstrate proficiency in the art but to ensure safe practice, both for an individual and his/her partner.
Kendo places great emphasis on moral values, discipline and self control. Kendo should not be seen as a sport to be participated in for a few years, but as a lifetime's study. Mental and physical controls are of paramount importance, since the balance of the 2 leads to harmony, not only in the art itself, but in the general well-being. It is for this reason that there are 4 deep-rooted mental hurdles that a kendoka ought to overcome: fear, doubt, surprise and confusion. Collectively, these are known as "the 4 poisons of Kendo".
