14 World Kendo Championships logo

Today we are publishing two reports on events that took place at the recent Kendo World Championships:

• John Howell sensei reports briefly on the competition and more seriously on the meetings of the European Kendo Federation (EKF) and International Kendo Federation (FIK) that took place in Brazil at the same time as the championships.  Mr Howell’s report includes important news on the impact of the recent constitutional changes which abolished the role of President – UK representation on international bodies has been affected as has the ability of BKA members to grade overseas.*

• Sean Starr (GB Kendo Manager) and Alan Thompson (Vice Captain of GB team) give a comprehensive overview of the competition with some lovely pics of the GB squad.
