A great sport requiring much spirit, discipline, and all of that jazz. Unfortunately, a lot of samurai/ninja-wannabes tend to participate in this sport. Also, fencing is better than kendo. One would not be shocked to see one who participates in kendo as one who participates in band, and one who participates in LARPing. Kendo makes your feet smell too. Oh and kendo stemmed from kenjitsu in response to Ieyasu Tokugawa pwning Japan. Urban Dictionary

Sport/martial art orginating from Japan. Kendo translates to 'the way of the sword', and practicioners are called kendoka. Participants in this sport use bamboo swords called 'shinais' and wear armor called 'bogu'. This armor includes a face mask/helmet called 'men' a pair of thick gloves called 'kote' a chest protector called a 'do' and an apron-like peice called a 'tare'. Participants must also wear a pair of very loose pants called the hakama, and a thick jacket called the keikogi. When in a match, the participants are allowed to strike to the head, wrists, the sides of the chest, and in certain cases (this is often discouraged in torunaments since it can be dangerous if used improperly)to a small flap that hangs off the men that covers the throat. Urban Dictionary

Kendo which translates literally to 'The Way of the Sword', is a contemporary Japanese martial art that evolved from the traditions of the samurai, the warrior class of ancient Japan, based upon sword fencing techniques developed over centuries of combat. Like many Japanese martial arts, the philosophical foundations of Kendo revolve around the precepts of Zen Buddhism, and the guiding belief that enlightenment and heightened awareness, flow from the ability to focus and calm the mind. Following in the footsteps of the samurai, modern practitioners of Kendo, or 'Kendoka', as they are called, strive not only to master the physical techniques of the Japanese sword, but, also, the mental and spiritual aspects as well. Although Kendo’s roots lie with the ancient samurai, the art has evolved over the centuries, adapting as societal conditions changed, to its present form where competition between practitioners involves not life and death combat with razor sharp blades, but controlled matches governed by strict rules of conduct, and non-lethal instruments. This difference in focus, distinguishes Kendo from 'Kenjutsu', which is also a Japanese sword art deriving from traditional fencing. Unlike Kendo, whose techniques are updated for practice as a non-lethal aesthetic, Kenjutsu’s primary focus is combat and warfare, and as such, closely parallels the actual lethal techniques employed by the samurai on the field of battle.

The Japenese-American owner of the Kendo Gun Shop adjacent to the police station in the video game Resident Evil 2. When Leon Kennedy, a main protaganist throughout the Resident Evil series, enters the gun shop, Robert is attacked by zombies. Leon attempts to save Robert, but is unsuccessful and Robert is killed. In the original version of the game, Robert is shown holding a shotgun. The zombies break through a display window and jump on him before he is able to react. If Leon kills the zombies, he can take the shotgun off his dead body. In the on-rails shooter Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles, Robert is heard yelling "Die, Goddamnit!" while Leon and Claire (another protaganist) are outside the shop. When they rush inside, Robert is lying weaponless on the floor as a zombie takes bites out of his chest. He reaches weakly out at Leon before going limp. After killing the zombie, Leon asks Robert if he is ok before realising he is dead. There are no weapons in the shop, just some ammo, grenades, and a first aid spray. On his character profile for Darkside Chronicles, it is stated that Robert freely gave weapons away to defenders and therefore were no weapons left in the shop to defend himself with.
