Kendo roots lie in mediaeval Japanese Fencing (called kenjutsu). As the sword was considered the symbol of the samurai class, kenjutsu tradition was a major cultural aspect of Japan. When the Meiji Revolution took place, teaching arts of war became illegal and Martial Arts had to turn to a more philosophical approach. This transformation changed the martial arts from "jutsu" (è¡“; technique, art) to "do" (é“; way) and became official in 1895. Kendo, as known today, is a standardized form of kenjutsu with focus in the phylosophical aspect of swordmanship instead of focusing on defeating enemies.
