What is the name of a Japanese form of fencing?

Japanese technique of swordsmanship is called Kenjutsu, which literally means "fencing" ("ken" stands for sword and "jutsu" is technique or art). Modernly "Japanese Fencing" is a term used to describe Kendo, a modern form of fencing focused on philosophical and sportive aspects of swordsmanship.Kendo utilizes armor and blunt swords, counting points for attacks properly made in the allowed targets in similar fashion to European modern fencing. The basic difference between Kendo and Fencing, besides the different origins, is that the kendoka(as is called one who practises Kendo) is supposed to practice Kendo more as a philosophical martial art than as a sport.

How do you learn katana?

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?)
