Flourishing at the Elephant & Castle since its inception in 1966, the Nenriki Dojo is the oldest continuous member of the British Kendo Association, which is affiliated to the English Sports Council. Nenriki Dojo has provided a cadre of Kendo instructors who have founded other Dojos. It is natural that the first president of the British Kendo Association, Charles Lidstone should have been a member and that the late Sir Frank Bowden, our former president, was also the elect president of the British Kendo Association.
