Chanbara
Chanbara or Combat Kenjutsu is a full-contact activity, applying traditional and sword and weaponry techniques and drills with modern padded equipment to allow participants to enjoy the rigors of sparring at full speed without fear of pain or injury.
This relatively new art based on traditional Japanese weapons training, was established in 1969 by Tanabe Tetsundo, and is officially known as "Goshindo" meaning "The way of self-preservation".
Today Chanbara has a large following worldwide and has been adopted by the Japanese education system as a sports and physical development activity.
