Samurai Sword Question


Recommended Posts

Is the Samurai Sword the same as a Katana, or is it a different sword?

 

Thanks

.

The best victory is when the opponent surrenders

of its own accord before there are any actual

hostilities...It is best to win without fighting.

Since you're talking about katanas, i also got a question about it :)

 

Is Kendo (the art where you fight with those wooden sticks and wear some sort of armor if i'm not mistaken) the same art which eventually teaches you to fight with katanas?

I don't think so. I'm certain you'd want to study bushido, and not kendo.

Kenjutsu is the Art of the Sword (for use of the Katana).

All the best,

yeah kendo was spawned from kenjustu...the art of japanese dueling. also is bushido an actual style i thought it was a code...but yeah another practiced style is Iaido which is the art of drawing the sword which incorporates attacks suchas the battojutsu(yes it is a real attack not just something made up Rurouni Kenshin). kendo is a good practicing art its just like a different type of fencing...if its fun and convenient go for it.
