Nurturing the mind and body through kendo<\/h1>\n

(1) Introduction<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

At Shikukai, through kendo practice,
We place importance on learning the \"heart\" and \"attitude\" that are important as a human being.<\/p>\n

\n

(ii) Respect for courtesy.<\/h2>\n

In kendo, we always bow at the beginning and end of practice.
Respect and appreciation for others is the basis of Budo.<\/p>\n

In the dojo, greetings and courtesy are important,
Students will acquire a posture that can be applied in daily life.<\/p>\n

In kendo training, it is not only about physical strength and technique,
It also develops concentration and perseverance.<\/p>\n

Through hard work, confidence is developed,

4) Learning together with fellow students<\/h2>\n

In the dojo, beyond age and experience,
We have an environment where we can learn from each other.<\/p>\n

By practicing with friends,
It also fosters compassion and a spirit of cooperation.<\/p>\n
