There are many 7 basic aspects that are known to be covered by the warriors of the old but the most generalised list would be as follow:


勇 Yuu -Courage                                                             仁 Jin - Benevolence


名 Mei - Honour                                                              誠 Sei -Sincerity


忠 Chuu - Loyalty                                                            義 Gi - Justice


礼 Rei - Respect


In my opinion, the 7 aspects listed above are too over blown to be only be adopted by the warriors. In fact, most of the aspects are what makes one a better human rather than just warriors.

For this post I'll discuss the contemporary definition of Kendo given by the Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei (ZNKR) a.k.a All Japan Kendo Federation (AJKF) as well as my personal view and understanding on it (didn't take long).

This post would be easily comprehended by those who have known how kanji behaves and some of their properties as well. Nonetheless, if you can follow through the article, there won't be much problem trying to understand it, its just a very straight forward concept.

Yokoso!!! readers from Brunei, most of you wouldn't know who I am and what the heck I look like. That ain't important, since the main purpose I set up this information blog is to help juniors back in Brunei better understand kendo with what I have learnt for the past 5 years in kendo.
