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.
