The Philosophy of Kendo
“Through the rigorous practice of Kendo, inner strength and character are developed.
Such is the true path of Kendo”.
Also through the practice of Kendo, mental readiness is established. “Kendo training is to be taken
very seriously and done properly. Mind and body are cultivated through vigorous training. This will
in turn bring vitality to the mind and spirit. The uniqueness of Kendo teaches us respect, discipline
and faith. In order to accomplish this, we must always give our all until our powers are exhausted.
In an even broader sense, one must learn through the practice of Kendo to love our country, but
also to promote peace and harmony on earth”.

Message of Greeting

Consulate General of Japan in Detroit
15TH MEMORIAL DETROIT OPEN KENDO TOURNAMENT
Welcome!
15th Memorial Detroit Open Kendo Tournament, President
All United States Kendo Federation, Vice President
Detroit Kendo Dojo, President
Dear Kenshi,
It is a true pleasure to welcome today’s participants, families and friends to the 15th Memorial Detroit
Open Kendo Tournament! It is certain to be an exciting and challenging competition. I would also like to
welcome two very accomplished kendoists from Osaka - Kendo Kyoshi 8-dan, Ishida Toshiya and Kendo
Kyoshi 7-dan, Ishida Yoko.
As this year marks the tournament’s 15th anniversary, I wish to congratulate and also express deep appreciation to everyone who has worked tirelessly to ensure the continued success of this tournament. Especially, I
would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Yoshiteru Tagawa, Kendo Kyoshi 8-dan,
for his tremendous efforts in promoting the practice of kendo in the metro Detroit area for so many years.
Kendo’s popularity has spread in the US and across the globe in spite of its very challenging physical and
mental demands. The strong spiritual and moral influences of Confucianism and Zen Buddhism has made
character building is as important in kendo as swordsmanship. Therefore, in addition to gaining physical
benefits and skills, kendoists also can gain willpower and the strength to overcome the life’s adversities
through their continual practice.
I am pleased to welcome you to the 2013, 15th Memorial Detroit Open Kendo Tournament. 300 participants
have traveled from all over the United States and Canada to compete in today’s competition.
This year, we are honored to receive two very special guests. I introduce to you Mr. Kuninori Matsuda,
Consul General of Japan in Detroit. I am also pleased to introduce Toshiya Ishida Sensei, Kendo Kyoshi 8 Dan,
from Osaka, Japan. Ishida Sensei is the 1992 and 1995 All Japan Kendo Champion as well as a 4 time World
Kendo Champion Team Champion. Ishida sensei is currently the Professor of National Police Academy.
This tournament is a time of fierce competition, but also a time of friendship and goodwill. Please keep in
mind that each match should represent the true kendo spirit and good sportsmanship.
I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to the tournament committee members and the
many people that make this event a success. A special thank you also goes to the parents of Detroit Kendo
Dojo and its volunteers without whom this tournament would not be possible.
I wish you all a successful and most enjoyable tournament.
So, I offer my congratulations to each participant for your personal accomplishments thus far. It is my hope
for you that the success of this tournament encourages your enthusiasm for kendo practice, generates
lasting relationships and furthers the bond of friendship between Japan and the United States.
Sincerely,
Yoshiteru Tagawa
Kendo Kyoshi 8th Dan

二、 精神を練磨せよ。剣道は精神と技術と微妙な関係をもっているから千変万化の変に応じて誤らない精神を練磨
しなければならない。
三、 一向専念稽古を励め。心と手足と一体になって働くには、なによりも実際の稽古を積むのが大事である。
四、 研究工夫せよ。ちょっとした頭の働きで豁然としてさとるところあり、とみに技術の進歩することもある。
五、 基本を正確にせよ。姿勢、構え、刀の持ち方、目付、足の踏み方、打ち込み方など、基本動作が正確でなけれ
六、 いつも真剣の気合を持て。身体は精神に引き回される。稽古にも試合にも、いつも真剣の気合で全力をつくせ。
七、 終始、熱心なれ。剣道の修行には苦痛も多い。たつ一生の修行である。心をゆるめると稽古を怠り、物になら
八、 慢心を起こすな。学問も技術も商売も慢心が堕落退歩の元になる。剣道でも慢心は恐るべき敵である。
九、 公明なる精神を持て。不正、ごまかし、我利私欲は稽古試合とも大禁物である。まじめな剣道修業は精神修養、

The Ten Virtues of Kendo
By Sasaburo Takano Sensei
1) A healthy body is a must. You must maintain good health and vitality in every part of your body.
2) Develop a strong spirit. Your skill and spirit must be in perfect harmony. This will enable you to adapt and to cope
with even the harshest of environments.
3) Training is critical. Your mind, spirit, hands and feet are to combine to work as one. Practice diligently to attain this.
4) Experiment and use your mind. Doing this will bring you closer to enlightenment as well as improve your skill and
techniques.
5) Fundamental Training. Practicing basic techniques must be done properly. Posture, stance, grip, line of sight, footwork,
attacking are critical. If you do not take these seriously, your skills will not evolve.
6) Always train with a focused spirit. Your spirit controls your body. Whether it is during practice or tournaments, always
maintain a focused spirit and put forth your best effort.
7) Train with passion from beginning to end. You will encounter many hardships and suffering.
8) Do not become conceited or overconfident. Whether it is in your Kendo, your education, or even in your career,
arrogance is the root of all failure. This kind of attitude is the greatest detriment to your training.
9) Maintain purity in your soul. Anger, deception, selfishness are enemies to your training. The path of Kendo is to train
seriously in order to build character.
10) Live the way you train. Do not separate what you learned in Kendo from your everyday life. It is unfortunate if this
happens. By keeping the path of Kendo and the path of life as one, you will benefit greatly.
