Northern Virginia Kendo

Northern Virginia Kendo Kendo is the Japanese form of fencing. It arises from the sword arts of ancient Japan, and is the modern incarnation of a centuries-long evolution.

Kendo is more than just learning to fence with a sword. It is also about discipline and honing a right spirit. Kendo is practiced around the world under the International Kendo Federation (FIK), and in the United States under the All US Kendo Federation (AUSKF). The Northern Virginia Kendokai teaches the art of Kendo as prescribed by the FIK, and we are members of both the AUSKF as well as the Southeastern U.S. Kendo Federation (SEUSKF). As part of the Capital Area Budokai, the Northern Virginia Kendokai practices Kendo as a form of physical, philosophical and psychological training which both strengthens and ennobles its students.
