Dispatch of Instructors to a Kendo Camp in Hungary (2023)

We served as instructors at a kendo seminar hosted by the Hungarian Kendo Federation and acted as judges at a dan-grade examination.
【Project Background】
The federation holds kendo seminars primarily to promote kendo across Europe.
【Project Objective】
Promote the sport and develop/educate coaches and instructors.
【Project Area】
Education through Sport
【Methods】
Dispatching and hosting coaches and instructors
【Outcomes】
The program has continued since 2019, and participants have increased not only from within Hungary but also from neighboring countries.
【Voices from Participants and Partners】
“With an instructor holding 8-dan joining as a judge, the prestige of the dan examination increased.” (Hungarian Kendo Federation)
【Challenges and Lessons Learned】
As dispatched instructors age, securing and developing new human resources will become necessary.
