Are Kendo and Samurai styles are the same? Kimonos only for women?
Now we all know Japan has produced some great martial arts out there. Ninjitsu, Jiu Jitsu, Kendo and Karate. Now althrough Samurai elements have been lost throughout history, is Kendo a complete replacement of the Samurai traditions and fighting styles?

Also, I notice Kimonos are worn by Japanese women a lot. Can men wear this as well?
Who usually wears Kimonos and are they worn only on specific times?
