kenshi247.net has put up an interesting article about early non-Japanese practitioners of kendo.
How cool is that? I never knew that Mark Twain had the privilege to watch kendo in action! Although he admired the fencer, it seems that the audience thought there was something funny going on.
Each quote has a link that will take you to a full reprint of the article from which it came. Check it out!
