Kendo is a modern Japanese martial art descended from Kenjutsu in which bamboo swords called "Shinai" and armor (bogu) including various protections are used:
- a metal grid protecting the kendoka from the head to the shoulders - and under which is placed a tenugui - called "MEN"
- gloves going up to the forearms called "KOTE"
- the breastplate covering the trunk, called "DO"
- protection for the lower abdomen and the upper part of the thighs called "TARE"
These guards were created in order to avoid injury while performing combat sequences at real speed.
