About Our Club/Team/Organisation:

Kendo is a combination of two Japanese words - ken meaning sword and do meaning road or "way". The result is "the way of the sword". The earliest written reference to Japanese swordsmanship dates from the 7th century. Fencing techniques developed dramatically as the art of sword making developed and the shape of swords changed. Development of the techniques of swordsmanship was driven by the demands of civii war in a turbulent age. Even non-members of the samurai class were forced to improve their fencing skills as a means of protection. By the end of the Age of War in 1573 many different schools of swordsmanship had formed. based on tried and tested techniques developed over the centuries.
