This is Kendo is a fully illustrated introduction to the traditional art of Japanese fencing-its essential nature and its basic techniques. It is the first kendo book in English to describe and analyze this famous sport. Features include:

  • Over 100 photographs and drawings
  • Origin and History of Kendo
