The concept and purpose of practicing kendo, according the All Japan Kendo Federation:

Concept
Kendo is a way to discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the katana.
Purpose
To mold the mind and body.
To cultivate a vigorous spirit
And through correct and rigid training,
To strive for improvement in the art of Kendo.
To hold in esteem human courtesy and honor.
To associate with others with sincerity.
And to forever pursue the cultivation of oneself.

To love one's country and society;
To contribute to the development of culture;
And to promote peace and prosperity among all peoples.
