What do I learn as a beginner?
Answer: Thank you for your question! First of all, you need to know the concept of kendo issued by All Japan Kendo Federation. You learn the etiquette, mannersand the basic kendo movements. Of course, the dōjō policies. The dōjō policies differ from a dōjō to dōjō so I cannot say exactly what they are going to be.
Anyway, you need to learn all the rules of kendo.
Hope this helps.
