Kendo, like all budo, is a life long path. As you progress in kendo, you develop and improve the basics learned in the beginning until the body knows them.
Intermediate: Begin wearing bogu, learn all basic waza and sharpen basic footwork and endurance.
Advanced: You will begin sharpening yourself and your fellow kenshi through rigorous training. Together, you will raise the level of one another’s ability through mutual practice, while preparing for tournaments, testing and seminar that will be available through the many years of kendo.
