Starting age: 15 is good. My son started at age of 5 years old... He is 7 and still practicing. Hopefully, he can jump trees when he become 15 years old...

Eyesight: Good Eye sight will definitely help.. It is matter of what kind of practice you are pursuing.. One of our student is blind. Yes, he is blind. He has been practicing Kendo for 5 months. He only does Kirikeishi and some Uchikomi drills. But he has such a beautiful forms.. I am sure he will having a hard time to do jigeiko but other than that, he is doing awesome.

Kendo need good physical endurance but what will really help is to have strong mind and will to practice.

good luck...
