In Kendo, strikes are deliberately limited to valid target areas only (datitsu-bui), with valid strikes focusing on a disciplined and focused approach in order to cultivate correct and committed techniques, spirit, posture, awareness, and correct follow through.

The Five Mental States (Goshin / Five Spirits of Budo)

1. Shoshin (初心): Beginner's mind; an open, eager attitude free of ego or preconceptions, vital even for masters.

2. Zanshin (残心): Remaining or lingering mind; total mental and physical alertness before, during, and after a strike.

3. Mushin (無心): No mind; a state of emptiness where actions flow without conscious thought or hesitation.

4. Fudoshin (不動心): Immovable mind; emotional stability and courage that remains unshaken under pressure or fear.

5. Senshin (先心 / 浄心): Enlightened or purified mind; a compassionate, clear spirit that harmonizes and reflects truth.
