Does anyone know about Japanese kendo?

The word "Kendo" originated from the ancient book "Wu Yue Chun Qiu" in the pre-Qin period of China. China's two-handed saber technique comes down in one continuous line, which was spread to Japan during the Han and Tang Dynasties through the official exchanges of Japanese envoys in Sui and Tang Dynasties and Chinese mainland, as well as the non-governmental exchanges between the Korean Peninsula and the coastal areas of the mainland and the Japanese archipelago. The knife method introduced to Japan has been evolving in the years of the Japanese War. In the increasingly stable edo period in Japan, the basic forms of kendo protective gear and bamboo sword were made by imitating the style of Japanese armor, which laid the embryonic form of sports kendo in the future. After the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government issued the "Abandoned Knife Order", which gradually developed to the present and established the existing form of the ancient double-handed fencing "sports kendo" in the modern sports field. Now in Japan and South Korea, kendo is also a compulsory training course for the police, and the police in France and Brazil also attach great importance to it. Kendo is the only two competitive sports in the world in which equipment directly confronts each other (the other is Olympic fencing). Kendo is popular in more than 40 countries and regions in the world. According to the statistics of the international kendo Federation in previous years, there are about 5 million people practicing kendo in the world. At present, the countries with the highest competitive level in kendo are Japan and South Korea, and Taiwan Province Province in China also has a very high competitive level.

Modern kendo is a real fencing sport, using bamboo knives and protective gear. Therefore, there are also special emphasis on equipment; The bamboo knife is composed of four bamboo boards, a knife tip skin and a knife handle skin. Protective equipment includes masks, chest protectors, drooping waist, gloves and cotton underwear. The venue is generally on the wooden elastic floor, playing barefoot. Therefore, the protective measures are perfect, so the injury rate is lower than other martial arts sports. Kendo training has a large amount of exercise, which has a direct effect on burning fat and improving body shape, but at the same time it has a unique practice method to keep the body soft, instead of making muscles stiff like many weight-bearing trainings. Kendo is not only suitable for young people to practice, many senior teachers are still competing in the kendo field in their seventies and eighties, and there are even old-timers who can perform after 90 years old.

Kendo belongs to martial arts, and the attitude of learning must be strict and serious in order to get substantive results. Appreciating and watching kendo can be viewed from both external technology and internal psychology. Technically, the movements are neat and graceful, full of momentum and spirit, showing a vigorous and powerful performance. Psychologically speaking, we can see the wisdom and cultivation of the swordsman by looking at whether the swordsman's emotional performance at the scene is calm or superficial, whether he can have a keen and correct judgment in the battle, and how to take appropriate countermeasures, such as the tactical application of "preemptive strike", "waiting for an opportunity" or "winning by counterattack". Practicing unarmed boxing is probably while you are young and strong, but kendo is definitely an art of controlling power. Kendo does not pursue absolute strength. The brute force of killing cattle with one punch can be said to be useless in kendo practice. The real kendo pursues the harmony of power, that is, the complete control of power. The real kendo is to achieve a "soft" state. Kendo has the essence of sports and martial arts. Long-term practice can not only promote physical health and enhance spiritual vitality, but also cultivate strong willpower, concentration and enterprising personality, as well as keen judgment and calm and confident attitude. There has always been a saying in the field of kendo that "kendo is a lifelong practice". These advantages are not only used in martial arts, but also helpful to everyone's way of doing things or enterprise management. Therefore, Zhizhi's life has never stopped and benefited.
