In Lake County, you can take kendo classes at local martial arts studios or community centers that offer traditional Japanese martial arts. Some specific places to check include the Lake County Kendo Club or local YMCA branches. Additionally, you can explore classes at universities or colleges that have kendo programs. It’s best to check their schedules and availability online or contact them directly for more information.

The attendance at Kendo Championships can vary significantly depending on the event's scale and location. Major international competitions, like the World Kendo Championships, can attract thousands of participants and spectators from around the globe. National and regional championships typically have smaller attendance numbers, often in the hundreds. Overall, Kendo events generally see a dedicated but varying crowd each year.

Kyudo competitions vary widely, but they generally include events such as individual and team matches at local, national, and international levels. Key competitions include the All Japan Kyudo Championships and the World Kyudo Championship, which attract top practitioners. Additionally, regional tournaments are often held, emphasizing both traditional techniques and modern interpretations of the art. These events typically focus on accuracy, technique, and the spirit of the practice.

Ken do, or "kendo," is a modern Japanese martial art that focuses on the practice of swordsmanship using bamboo swords called "shinai." It emphasizes discipline, mental focus, and physical fitness while also promoting respect and etiquette among practitioners. Kendo training involves sparring, forms, and the development of techniques, with the ultimate goal of achieving a balance between physical skill and mental clarity. It is practiced both as a competitive sport and a means of personal development.

The prescribed rate for Kendo insecticide typically varies based on the target pest and crop type. It's essential to refer to the product label or consult local agricultural extension services for specific application rates and guidelines. Generally, application rates can range from 10 to 20 mL per 100 liters of water, but always adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations for optimal results.

You can purchase a sharp tessen, a traditional Japanese war fan, from various online retailers such as Amazon, eBay, or specialized martial arts supply stores. Additionally, local martial arts shops or cultural stores that focus on Japanese martial arts might carry them. For authentic options, consider visiting websites that specialize in Japanese weapons or crafts. Always ensure that you check local laws regarding ownership and purchase of such items.

Kendo uses mainly two swords; the most common is the shinai (竹刀; lit. bamboo sabre) that is made of four bamboo slats tied together by pieces of leather, the other is the bokuto (木刀; lit. wooden sabre) or bokken (木剣; lit. wooden sword) and is made of solid wood (usually oak).

The shinai is used for actual practise (duels and stuff), it's shape is designed solely for the purpose of safety and thus it doesn't really look like a real sword, but it's the best way to do some impact-practise in kendo without severely injuring someone.

The bokuto is basically a katana made of solid wood, it was created to be a cheaper substitute to the steel sword (back in samurai days you wouldn't want to waste your katana in a training session) and it tries to simulate a steel sword in almost every aspect. In modern kendo, the bokuto is used mainly in kata and other non-impact exercises. The use of the bokuto mantains the kendoka closer to the feeling of the real katana.

Experienced kendokas can also use real katana instead of bokuto, and it's called shinken (真剣) when it's sharp.

It is called a "shinai," I believe it means "bamboo sword."

A little bit. Kendo is believed to have somewhat influenced modern-day fencing. However, most of fencing simply came from sword fighting that evolved into a sport.

Kendo is a sporting event that is common in Japan and other nations throughout the world. In this event two opponents using bamboo swords challenge each other in a variety of martial arts practices. The best Kendo player is Shannon Mikuni, captain of the USA Kendo team.

Kendo is a Japanese martial art which means "way of the sword." Although several different martial arts utilized swordsmanship, this unique style of fencing made an appearance in the 20th century. It was recognized after the introduction of shina (bamboo swords) and bogu (body armor) created by Japanese master Naganuma Sirozaemon Kunisato. Kendo has adopted a concept of disciplining an individual�s character through the principles of Katana, which is a sword.

The history of Kendo is very much associated with samurai during the Kamakura period (1185-1233). This period also marked the strong influence of Zen Buddhism on the development of Kendo.

Those who practice Kendo are called kendoka or kenshi, which means swordsman. Kendoka practice the martial art with loud shouts, or kiai, which are said to express the spirit of fighting. In Kendo, strikes are only allowed to be made to seven target areas of the human body. All of these body parts are covered by armor, to protect the opponent from severe injuries. These target areas are the top of the head, left and right side of the head, both wrists (while they are held in different positions), the torso, and the throat. Because many attacks against these targets can result in fatality, certain body parts are off-limits to practitioners who are not senior experts.

In competitions, points are only awarded to Kendo practitioners who earn them. Attacks must be performed firmly and adequately and must hit a specified target with precise accuracy. During a tournament, a referee will hold up a flag to announce when points are awarded. The flag's color will correspond to the color ribbon worn by the practitioner awarded the point. The first competitor to achieve a total of two points is considered to be the winner.

Since the founding of the International Kendo Federation (IKF) in 1970, approximately 8 million people worldwide practice Kendo. Its popularity is widespread throughout North America, Europe, South America, Asia and Africa.

Kendo is generally considered to be safe due to the safety precautions taken.

It's safe if practised with the proper precautions and proper care.

Kendo originated in Japan. The word comes from "ken" meaning "sword" and "do" meaning "way of." The literal translation is "way of the sword."

Japanese Jiujitsu is Aikido's Ancestor. Other styles of Jiujitsu are different, however the Japanese style which is the original style is a root of Aikido. Aikido was created so that you would not destroy your attacker, however jiujitsu is used in combat. The Samurai used techniques that look like Aikido, however it is just a form of Jiujitsu. What Morihei Ueshiba (the founder of Aikido) did was take techniques that he learned from Daito Ryu Jiujitsu and shortened them creating "Aikido". Aikido often talks about protecting your attacker. Ultimately you have the option to protect or destroy once you know techniques, it is up to the Aikidoka.

Depending on your actual definition of Martial Arts, the first was actually boxing matches and training held in ancient Egypt as depicted on their hieroglyphics. In no way is Kendo any where near being the oldest art.

Kendo is not very popular in the USA and Europe. It can occasionally be seen elsewhere, but is often found in cities with sizable Japanese immigrant populations.

Women naturally relax more than males do while learning a new movement, so they pick up the skill and speed that Kendo demands more rapidly. Kendo gives them an advantage when learning art, especially in the earlier stages. Women tend to be more intelligent combatants. Instead of using strength, size, or even speed to win matches, they prefer to use strategy and elegance.

Its better to simply buy it; bamboo is not readily available here in the U.S. If you know someone who is a carpenter, or has experience working with wood, you can always make your own wooden sword. You need to be careful with the engineering though; although seemingly a wooden stick, the curvature of a bokken is designed to mimic that of a Katana, so the measurements need to be precise. Its the same for a suburito, if you do not give it the right curvature it just won't handle the same. Also, price does determine quality; generally the more expensive bokken and suburito handle better than the cheaper ones.

Another point of shock, is the price tag; people are often shocked to discover that some bokken may run up to $200. Well, all people except those who work with wood; individuals who do carpentry as a hobby know full well some types of wood aren't cheap. Hickory, because its extremely tough, is very hard to work with, hickory wood is so tough that in olden times they used it to make hammer handles. Hickory is quite possibly, the best kind of wood to use to make a wooden sword if you live in America. Almost guaranteed not to break, no matter how vigorous your sword play may be.

Again though when making a bokken or suburito you need to know what you're doing, and it stands to reason that, assuming you've got the money and the patience, that the best kind can only be bought from Japan. I have handled both American made, and Japanese made bokken, and yes there IS a difference, you can feel it.
