Kendo is a way to discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the Katana
From "Japanese-English Dictionary of Kendo"
Sometimes part of my brain wanders off and does its own thing. When this happens the rest of my brain denies all responsibility.
This maybe one of those moments.
From Martino's Keyboard one quite afternoon
Budo (n.)
Martial arts. Same as budjutsu or bugei. The way of the warrior. Learning to live as a human being through training in the martial arts. In 1919 (Taisho 8), the dai Nippon Butoku-kai, the supervising orginization for the martial arts at the time, changed the names of gekken, jujutsu, and kyujutsu, to kendo, judo and kyudo, respectively. The term budo was then used to refer collectively to these disiplines. The new names reflected the fact that martial arts training has an important spiritual side and does not consist only of training in techniques. Today budo encompasses even more disiplines, with the term being used widely to refer to martial arts such as kendo, judo, kyudo, sumo, naginata, aikido, karatedo, jukendo, and shorinji kenpo.

心は正しければその剣も正しい
心は正しかざれば、その剣まだ正しからず
剣を学ばんとする者はすべくからその心を学べ

The difference between stupidity and genius - the latter has limits
" Munen Muso " - The ability to act calmly and naturally even in the face of danger. It is the highest accord with existence, when a man's word and his actions are spontaneously the same.
