A kendoka is an athlete who practices kendo, a Japanese martial art that involves fighting with bamboo swords called shinai. Kendoka train to develop skills in striking, blocking, and footwork while also focusing on mental discipline and respect. The goal of kendo is to land clean, controlled strikes to specific target areas on the opponent’s body, such as the head, wrists, and torso. Kendoka also practice proper stances, breathing, and techniques, and they often participate in sparring, known as "keiko," to improve their abilities.
