Unlike almost every other martial art, Kendo has one global federation, and every country has only one national organization. This derives from a strong orientation towards cooperation and mutual respect in every aspect of Kendo - the blind competitive drive that has splintered other martial art federations is non-existent. If you train Kendo, or plan to start, it doesn't matter were you live because your local dojo (club) is a part of the same organization as every other in the world. Although there are subtle differences in how a particular dojo or national federation approaches Kendo, the bases are essentially the same. |
