Trivia: What sword-fighting style comes directly from samurai?
Kendo
Fencing
Kung-fu
Bojutsu
The correct answer is Kendo
So why is this answer correct? : Kendo, which literally means “the way of the sword,” can trace its lineage back to samurai. During Japan’s Warring States period (roughly 475 BCE to 221 BCE), many schools taught various sword-fighting styles known as “kenjutsu.” The rise of protective equipment and the introduction of bamboo swords eventually led to the transformation of “kenjutsu” to “kendo” in the 20th century.
