Enlightening
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Being a new kendo enthusiast I found this book very good in presenting all the basic information. Excellent history backgrounder too, how kendo developed and what it means in Japan. Precise information on all major aspects, such as equipment, etiquette, forms and practice.
Excelent

Outstanding book, both for advanced kendoists and begginers. Pay close attention to everything those two authors and masters kendoists have written and you'll not regret.
on my second copy.. .

nothing can replace dojo when it comes to learning kendo, however, this book provides good over view about kendo. i do have number of different kendo books in my collection at this point.. however, this was my first book in english on kendo, and i still find it endearing.
THERE'S NO SUBSTITUTE YET.

This book, along with Fundamental Kendo (of the Zen Nihon Kendo Remmei) are still the most important kendo books around. Now, as we all know, Fundamental Kendo is out of print, so you should at least own a copy of this one.
The best book on kendo in the United States.

This is an interesting volume that should be both helpful to the beginning kendo student and to anyone who simply wants to find out what kendo is about. It is written in such a way that it has enough technique for the technically-minded, and enough interesting facts to keep the reader from becoming bored. I found it a most useful and reliable reference source when I was writing my book THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE SWORD. I recommend THIS IS KENDO highly
