JAPANESE KENDO?! Learning Traditional Japanese Martial Art in Kyoto
One of the best nontouristy things to do in Kyoto is to try Kendo! Kendo is a traditional Japanese martial art, which descended from swordsmanship (kenjutsu) and uses bamboo swords (shinai) and protective armor (bōgu). However, unlike Jujutsu or Judo, Kendo is actually not well known outside of Japan.
Despite being well known, Kendo is actually widely practiced within Japan. As a visitor, it’s possible to learn the basics of Kendo in a short amount of time. We found this activity on Airbnb experiences and were so excited to try it in the oldest Dojo in Japan. (A Dojo is a typical Japanese hall where martial arts is usually practiced).
Over two hours, we learned the basics of Kendo, and even got to fight each other and our teacher. It was a unique thing to do in Kyoto! Here’s how we hit eachother with bamboo swords.

We are originally from the USA we left home in 2013 after graduating college. We then returned back to the US a year later to build a normal life. We quickly discovered that it wasn’t for us and left home for good in 2015. We were nomadic for over three years across six continents and 80 countries. It took us 500 blog posts, thousands of nights in different beds, a few horrible meals and a ton of amazing ones until we chose to base ourselves in the Canadian Rockies. Now we travel for half the year and explore the mountains for the other half. We are incredibly grateful for the life we live and hope we can help you meet your travel goals too!

Samurai Training in Kyoto, Japan
Kyoto is the most historic city in Japan, so I wanted to learn more about one very influential aspect of Japanese culture - the Samurai!
For this experience I connected with Kyoto Samurai Experience for my authentic Samurai training -
I learned about the samurai warriors sword, samurai role in Japanese history, and the importance of zen meditation in samurai or bushido culture.
After my mind was focused, I got to wield a real Japanese sword or Katana.
No doubt this wasn’t a true window into the Samurai world, but it is a fun peak at the idiology and practices of such an influential aspect of Japanese culture.

1897 Japanese Martial Art Demonstration Of Kendo - Kyoto Japan
Filmed in October 1897 by Lumiere camera operator Constant Girel
Location: Kyoto: Japan
This film shows a kendo demonstration in October 1897. Its participants seem to be involved in a kendo melee rather than a structured demonstration. There are additional weapons to the shinai being used. One combatant uses a sickle and ends up on the ground where his opponent continues to attack. Another combatant appears in the background wielding a large staff using the kendo shinai type grip. The seated Master/teacher seems to be giving some sought of directions to the ensuing chaos.
The upload of this film includes a copy of the film at the original speed as well as a copy in slow motion. Constant Girel also filmed this film in October 1897 “Japanese Sword - Ono Ha Itto Ryu Style”

NOTE: Not a lot of people know that real samurais NO longer exist in Japan — the whole lifestyle and system have long disappeared ever since the late 1800s because the emperor favored a more modern western-style army.
Nevertheless, what we can rather find solace in (apart from the existence of museums for appreciating the tradition) is that there are still some people in Japan who try to emulate the swordsmanship of the samurais — such as Joe Okada! Hence, the title Last Samurai is more of a bestowed title upon him due to his skills.
(TRIVIA: Joe trained people who made it on the Guinness World Records!)

The Most Beautiful Places In Japan : Kyoto Budo Center (Butokuden) Part 2
The Most Beautiful Places In Japan : Kyoto Budocenter
The Kyoto Budo Center
Martial Arts is part of Japanese culture called Budo. The Kyoto is the oldest Budo center of Japan (1899).
It is a must visit for any martial artist. The people were really friendly. Even more friendly then people in daily life. That embraces the spirit of Budo.
Although there is a beautiful pamphlet and a training list of what martial arts are trained in the evening. It depends on the day what other activities there are.
Organizations rent the training halls for their activities. So if you are lucky you will see a great championship that day.
Unfortunately, I don’t speak fluently Japanese. People at the counter were very helpful but there is a language barrier. They will give you a list if you ask them. Google translate is always helpful in these kind of situations.
