Samurai are gone. But their spirit remains and has shaped Japan for centuries. This spirit is called Bushido. Walk the path with Kendo Spirit. This experience offers more than a typical cultural activity. You begin the morning by calming the mind through guided breathing, as samurai did before training. In the quiet atmosphere of the dojo, you step away from distractions and prepare both body and mind. You then learn about Bushido, the values that shaped the lives of the samurai and still influence Japanese culture today. Understanding these ideas can change the way you see everyday life in Japan. The session also includes an introduction to kendo, the martial art that carries the spirit of Bushido into the modern world. Through basic movements and handling the sword, you experience this living tradition firsthand.
