Kendo Concepts  

This section will present selected quotes from "Japanese-English Dictionary of Kendo", All Japan Kendo Federation 2000. Many terms and concepts in kendo are somewhat obscure so, a new word or phrase will be posted here regularly extracted from this excellent book. Use the forum to discuss any of the concepts presented in this section.

heijyo-shin (n.)

A disciplined state of mind which can respond to changes in a situation in a calm, normal manner, without becoming agitated.


ho-shin (n.)

In general, to be absentminded because of being preoccupied with other matters. In kendo, it is the state of mind where one is liberated from tenacious thoughts and can thus respond to everything without being distracted by anything.
