Same here. I would watch kendo, now that's cool! Technicially it's a martial arts. Ken -> sword; Do -> Way. Kendo -> Way of the sword (literally). However, I've also seen it being called a sport.
Webster's Dictionary:
Kendo: Stylized swordplay in which bamboo swords are used: a Japanese sport.
Of course, if you want more info, you'll have to dig deeper past the wikipedia articles. Heh, heh, I was lucky enough to get my hands a few years ago on a katana from an Asian mall. It's great for drawing as you can place it in any angle for reference. Unlike in a drawing where you only have one angle to see it in. You guys should have seen how many people there were when they were selling them! The price ranges were strange too. From as cheap as ten dollars to more than a thousand. Mine was about fifty dollars, I can't quite remember the actual price. That mall is an awesome place for anime and the like. You can get some pretty good deals if you know how to bargain. Too bad it's rather far from where I live. I haven't gone there in years though since I'm pretty much broke these days.
As for darts, I remember that a person named Jenkins was a champion.
