How do you learn katana?

Answer 1

The art of wielding a katana, that is, a Japanese sword, is referred to in Japanese as kenjutsu-- swordplay. That word isn't commonly used anymore, though. What you can do is take Kendo classes. Kendo is the Japanese equivalent of European Fencing, more like fencing with a saber than with a foil or epee, in that in kendo, one can thrust as well as slash. There are lots of kendo dojos all over the U.S. and the world, so you can Google one (or use WikiAnswers to find one?)
