Reprinting Vitaly Savilov's book "Cando. Japanese art of wielding a sword," we did not change a single letter, and the text remained the same as it was signed by the author in print in 1990. Therefore, do not be surprised when you meet in the book the realities of that time and the state, which no longer exists. In this edition, we took the liberty of illustrating some chapters with contemporary photographs of gear, training exercises, and free kendo combat.
