How strong should I be to do kendo?

I am 17 years old and very interested in Kendo, and I want to start training in Kendo, but I am very weak at strength. I cannot lift very much weight, so will this affect my performance heavily?

Answer: Thank you for your question! If you can list a 500g stick with both hands, you can do kendo. And it is exactly that is why you train. You said it yourself. You are weak at strength. That is why you train :) Don’t worry, just do it!
