An Introduction to Kendo

In order to master Nihon Kenpo (Japanese Sword work), it is most important to learn the control and timing that comes from daily training in the basic forms.

This DVD takes you through those necessary basic forms that have been laid out by the Nihon Kenpo Renmei (Federation) in order to help you master the fundamentals of the Japanese Sword and help you in passing the Dan ranking test.

The first purpose of training in Kata is to create a proper foundation by getting rid of bad habits. With the correct form, your movement and techniques become sharp, and as you better understand the necessary timing, you create a defensive power that accompanies your body movement.

The second purpose is to improve and enrich the sprit, which is done by learning proper manners, which in turn cultivates your character.

Techniques Include:

Fundamental sword-work for beginners, Fundamental Katas for Dageki (striking), Kumiuchi (grappling) and sword-work in Katas with one, two and 4 people.
