Vietnam Kendo practitioners keep sword skills sharpIntroduced in Vietnam more than 10 years ago, the Japanese martial art, Kendo (way of sword), is increasingly attracting young people to practice it. Japanese martial art, Kendo (way of sword) was first introduced to Vietnam in the 1990s. Nguyen Van Hien, President of the Kendo Hanoi Seikenkan Club, said Like in other sects of Japanese martial arts, practitioners practice and compete in bare feet. Following this martial art, practitioners (kendoka) not only learn how to use a sword but also the way of it, or put differently, the manner of sword users. Afterwards, the martial art was practiced more and more by Vietnamese.
