TRIAL CLASS at our Institute. |
The Kendo class offers a unique experience connecting the student with the
traditional spirit of Budo (Martial Arts) developed by the samurai
in the ancient Japanese time. The Bushido Code of honor, in
a contemporary interpretation, becomes very familiar to our
students. The basic stances and Shinai (the bamboo sword) techniques
are performed between three and six months in solo patterns.
then the partner work begins, using the protective armor (the
BOGU). The pre-established sparing is
the first stage, called KIRI KAESHI, where on a support of routine,
the main goal is to improve the timing and distance (MA-AI).
After this practice becomes
familiar, the student will advance to the free sparing. In this
class the harmony between Mind and Body is very highly expressed
in fascinating speed and explosiveness, where the focusing and
timing are imperative. The Kendoka must judge the situation
incredibly quickly and act accordingly. The Mind, Body and Spiritual
improvement ultimately produces the "Zanshin," the spirit of
fight, which is an old samurai attribute. A self-discovery which
is rewarded.
Kendo develops:
- A high sense of respect, self discipline and modesty
- Patience in setting a strategy for
achieving a goal
- Improves reflexes, focusing and timing
- Physical and psychological endurance
