We practice the sport of Kendo, a Japanese martial art based on traditional swordsmanship.  Practitioners face each other using flexible bamboo swords while wearing protective gear and try to strike specific locations on their opponents bodies.  Iaido, a separate art consisting of forms responding to unexpected assailants, is also available to students with more than one term of experience.
