I have always believed that Kendo is compulsory in High School in Japan. Never thought much about it but now that I am in a training role, can anyone tell me exactly how it works.

Is it compulsory? At what age does it start? Is it training or are there theory classes? I suppose I am after a description of the whole system in Japan.

And finally, is it a good thing? (I would say yes but we could all be biased).
