Way of the Sword

Ambrose and James are taking a Kendo class and put on a display last weekend on the deck. It somehow devolved into a chorus-line routine but whatever.

The purpose of Kendo is:
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. This will make one be able: To love his/her country and society. To contribute to the development of culture And to promote peace and prosperity among all peoples.

That what it looks like to me.

Ironically that is also Union Carbide's Mission Statement.
