KENDO - 剣 道 - KEN-JUTSU
Sword fencing stands in the center of this discipline. A direct confrontation on the battlefield is supposed. Wooden swords are used to practice the basic techniques and sword strategy.
Kendo competitions act as learning aid to gain experience in dangerous situations. Competitions take place with the so-called "Fukuro Shinai", a bamboo stick covered in textile. There is no protection gear (bogu), as we know in sports kendo these days. Thus the players are forced to greater alertness not to reveal their weaknesses.
On the battlefield it took only 3 to 4 contacts between two swords, as the blades were broken or deformed thereafter.

FUKURO-SHINAI
Following the old tradition of practice, Takeda-ryu Nakamura Ha kendo is also referred to as Sobukendo since it involves different forms of combat that go far beyond those of the modern kendo sport as locks and throws are also employed in the fighting.
