On first impressions, Kendo appears to be very aggressive and physical, with the dynamics of a fast-striking actiong and high-pitched screams. Yet it is an art that places great emphasis on the development of high level of skill in concentration, timing, awareness, physical agility, footwork, body movement and inherent respect. Kendo was derived from the ancient art of Japanese Samurai swordsmanship.

History of Kendo:

Kenjutsu is an ancient martial art, dating back to before 1590, followed by Kendo, which had more intellectual and philosophical characteristics. Kenjutsu became modern Kendo, which has developed a sport-oriented nature that still embodies many of the traditional values.

While Kendo is very much a modern art that has been influenced by Kenjutsu, its roots can be traced back as far as AD 789, through the history of the art of the sword which is linked inextricably to the history of ancient Japan.

So you go to the gym 5 days a week.  You pump iron and do cardio.  Your body looks good but, not where you want it to be.  You see the body builders come in the gym and think; why can’t I look like that?  Well you can!  Bodybuilding Nutrition, yes I said Nutrition! Nutrition  is one of the  keys to having the lean, sculpted body you want.  You need to balance your diet like you balance your life and the gym. You can lift until you are blue in the face, but if you skip breakfast and have a candy bar for a snack and then fast food for lunch, you will never achieve your results.  A balanced diet program for body building is one of the main components to creating a well sculpted body. If you don’t have the nutrition you don’t have fuel for your body.
