West Australian Kendo Renmei

Kendo is a form of fencing using two handed bamboo swords together with some basic armour. When practised properly it is an extremely fast athletic exercise between two opponents using full contact cutting against selected target areas. The requirements for a point scoring cut include the build up, accuracy, spirit, and follow through and a three minute contest will often finish without a result. However, despite the competitive nature of Kendo it is really a test of each individuals resolve and determination.
