The Kendo Environment.

I'm a 14 year old  American girl, looking into kendo. I was just wondering what the environment is really like in kendp. Would it be different for me, as a girl, or even as an American? I was just wondering.

It seems like such a beautiful art form, and something I'll definitely benefit from. :P Just asking before I get any plans. Thanks for your time ^^

Kendo-Guide.Com:  Thank you for being interested in kendō. Anyone can start kendō. It is Japanese martial arts and carries a lot of Japanese traditional aspects. If you are willing to accept the Japanese cultural aspects, I am sure you will enjoy.

Kendō does not choose people. Those who do kendō choose their members. So you should find people who are willing to share their knowledge with you.
