What is Kendo World?
Crossing Swords & Borders

  Also in this section

Kendo World is a combination of three types of media devoted to the art of Japanese sword fencing (kendo), and the dissemination of its vast practical, philosophical and historical aspects to the non-Japanese speaking kendo community.

Kendo World Magazine is a quarterly print publication packed full of articles on kendo and related budo arts (iaido, jodo, jukendo, naginata, and koryu arts). The magazine was founded in 2001 by the editors Alex Bennet and Hamish Robison. Kendo World Magazine is published in Japan (and printed in Auckland, New Zealand) by KW Publications LTD., which has also started publishing additional works on kendo and other budo arts.

Kendo World Forums are online forums where the international kendo community can interact with each other and the Kendo World Team, a very valuable experience.

Kendo World Online acts as a web-resource and helps to tie the magazine and the forums together. The website features articles from the magazine, event information, links to worldwide kendo federations and much more.

The articles for Kendo World are written by an international network of experienced martial artists spread across Japan and the world. Translations of articles and books published in Japanese, including our staunch supporter Kendo Jidai magazine, are included in many of our pages. We also accept submissions from qualified members of the martial arts community.

The Kendo World Team is constantly trying to improve not only the quality of the magazine, but the strength of the international kendo community. We would like to thank you for your interest in Kendo World, and look forward to seeing you in the forums.
