The story
"the way of sword". Is the Martial art of use of the sword (ken), than formally came called Ken-jutsu, Ken-no-mici, or Gekken during the period Meiji (1868-1912) of the history of Japan. This martial discipline was developed in ancient age from the first japanese warriors (Bushi), and from 13th century from the Samurai. In the 1876 practical of the Ken-jutsu it came forbidden when to the Samurai was prohibited to carry the sword but it came transformed to work of Sakakibara Kenkichi (1830-1894) in a martial sport (Kendo) for the physical and mental preparation of the young people. The Kendo term was invented in the 1900 from Abe Tate in order to replace the Ken-jutsu word considered too much near of the sword use for military scopes. The first Academy for the study of the Kendo came founded to Tokyo in 1909 and from then the study of the Kendo it has prospered in Japan and other countries of the world where it comes indifferently practiced from men and women. The scope of training to the Kendo is to model the mind and the body to cultivate one constant and firm attitude to work with perseverance in order to progress in the Kendo with a rigorous training, to be kind and to maintain honour, to take care of the others with courtesy and sincerity and finally to try always to find the perfection inside us. For this philosophy and its origins that sink in the classic art of the sword the Kendo it is one of the most estimated and appreciated disciplines of the Japanese Budo (drawn from "A dictionary of the Martial Arts")
