About The Cleveland Kendo Association
About Kendo
Kendo is the 'Way of the Sword', a traditional Japanese martial art.
All Japan Kendo Federation defines the concept of kendo as follows: "The concept of kendo is to discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the katana (sword)."
We practice a combination of drills, techniques, sparring, and kata with an emphasis on rei-ho(etiquette) and self-improvement.
Our History
The Cleveland Kendo Association is a martial arts school located in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. The school was established in 1986 as a non-profit organization and has maintained a philosophy of assisting students to obtain Kendo training with minimal financial impact.
