Overview

"Kenjutsu is a traditional Japanese martial art that emphasizes the use of the traditional Japanese weapon, the katana. The term ""kenjutsu"" is composed of the two components ""ken,"" denoting a weapon, and ""jutsu,"" signifying a technique or art form. Kenjutsu has a rich historical background in Japan and was an essential component of the training regimen of samurai combatants. Kenjutsu comprises an extensive array of swordwork techniques, encompassing both offensive and defensive maneuvers. These techniques comprise striking, parrying, blocking, and footwork. Additionally, fundamentals including cadence, distance, and correct posture are underscored. Over the course of time, distinct schools of kenjutsu emerged, each characterized by its own training methods, philosophies, and techniques. Although kenjutsu has historical origins, it continues to be practiced as a contemporary sport and a traditional martial art. Kenjutsu is studied by a great number of practitioners for its philosophical and cultural dimensions, which include concepts like self-discipline, respect, and personal growth, in addition to its physical advantages."
