Kendo Seiza Kneeling Pose 1. Made For My Kendo Dojo. Seiza is the traditional Japanese seated position. It is often difficult for non-Japanese to be able to sit in this manner right away. Seiza developed in Japanese culture in the context of the Japanese house wihich doesn't have chairs or couches. People sat on the floor, or more accurately on tatami mats that covered the floor. Kendo maintains this tradition. At the beginning and end of all kendo practice all dojo members wil sit in seiza to put on their bogu, bow in, and take off their bogu. Please Try It Before You Buy!
