Nurturing the mind and body through kendo
(1) Introduction
Kendo is not just a martial art of learning techniques.
It is a martial art that fosters courtesy, respect, and a desire to improve oneself.
At Shikukai, through kendo practice,
We place importance on learning the "heart" and "attitude" that are important as a human being.
(ii) Respect for courtesy.
In kendo, we always bow at the beginning and end of practice.
Respect and appreciation for others is the basis of Budo.
In the dojo, greetings and courtesy are important,
Students will acquire a posture that can be applied in daily life.
(iii) Growth of mind and body
In kendo training, it is not only about physical strength and technique,
It also develops concentration and perseverance.
Through hard work, confidence is developed,
It can foster the ability to face difficulties.
4) Learning together with fellow students
In the dojo, beyond age and experience,
We have an environment where we can learn from each other.
By practicing with friends,
It also fosters compassion and a spirit of cooperation.
5) Human development through kendo
