What is the martial art that has men dress up in long dark fighting suits (not a ninja) and swordfight?

Its a formal fighting style. If you could provide links to it it would be great. Thanks

Ninjutsu (the martial art ninjas use) is a formal martial art.


I beleive the style you are thinking of is %26quot;kendo%26quot;. It originates in Japan, and supposedly over 8 million people are now training in it. The dark robes I think you are talking of were worn by samurai, and consisted of pants with slits at the side called a hakama, and a top robe which was tucked into the pants called a gi. Samurai also carried two swords; the katana and the wakizashi. (usually) the wakizashi was used as a back up sword.





Hope this helps!

Kendo is a very popular sport all over the world, mostly in Japan, Korea, and the US.


It%26#039;s a modified version of Kenjutsu.
