The \u014csh\u016b Kendo Renmei documents kendo\u2019s beginnings and establishment in the UK, its spread into Europe, and the formation of the \u014csh\u016b Kendo Renmei, forerunner to the European Kendo Federation. It explores the link with the UK\u2019s judo clubs, namely the Budokwai and the Anglo Japanese Jujutsu and Martial Arts Association (later known as the Anglo Japanese Judo Club), that were instrumental in kendo\u2019s introduction in the UK.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With extensive commentary by Roald Knutsen, one of the UK\u2019s kendo pioneers, it also profiles the efforts of others such as Horie Etsuko, R.A. Lidstone, \u014csaki Shintar\u014d and Okimitsu Fujii.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of the UK, The \u014csh\u016b Kendo Renmei examines the contributions of such people as Hungarian Count Robert von Sandor, Jacques Dupont, Alain Floquet and Shiga Tadakatsu as they sought to establish kendo in Europe and aim for the foundation of a European governing body.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The efforts of the All Japan Kendo Federation and prominent Japanese instructors in promoting kendo in the UK and Europe are also documented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
