How do you place a men in kendo?

In Kendo "men" is the name of the helmet part of the armour. Do you mean how do you score a Men in Kendo, or how do you wear a Men in Kendo? To score a Men (with out using any Japanese words) you must hit you opponents helmet on the top between the two straps. Hitting lower or hitting the metal face guard will not be allowed. You can strike whilst moving in any direction but you lead foot must hit the ground at the same time as your bamboo sword hits you opponent. To show "spirit" you must shout the name of the target as well. Only if you manage to hit the target with the correct part of you bamboo sword at the same time as landing your foot and at the same time as making the call, will the point be allowed. Its much harder than it sounds as you also have to do all this before the other gut does it to you! Wearing a men is just a case of practicing how to tie the straps behind your head and getting it as tight as possible.

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.
