About the BKA Program

This is a unique opportunity for British Kendo Association Members who have a desire to practice in Japan and also for Japanese Kendo players wanting to visit and train in the UK.

This allows members to experience kendo from Top level Universities to local city – Machi – dojo in various locations around Japan.
The exchange means Japanese players will be coming to the UK, helping the BKA and clubs gain valuable experience, knowledge and friendships directly.

Locations are updated regularly. There is a strict criteria for Candidates who are over 18 years old.
This includes an assessment period that all applicants will need to undertake.

Please note: Some venues have different age restrictions, so please check the details or contact us.
