Our plans for the immediate future are clear : to promote and develop kendo in Edinburgh and Scotland. This will take the form of shinsa success, participation in shiai and seminars, consolidation of the current membership, expansion of the membership base, enouraging visits (from the National Squad and abroad), and building up an “Edinburgh Univerities” team. Not least, we would like to keep the strong tradition of Scottish kendoka in the National Squad – the 12th World Kendo Championships were held in Scotland July 2003, and were the second World Championships where an Edinburgh dojo member competed as part of the National Team. We would like to continue to provide kendoka at this level.
