The International Kendo Federation (FIK) was founded in 1970. It is an international federation of national and regional kendo associations.

Contents

The FIK is a non-governmental organisation and its aim is to promote and popularise kendo, iaido and jōdō. [2] Seventeen national or regional federations were the founding affiliates. The number of affiliated countries has increased over the years and as of October 2021, 62 countries/regions are FIK affiliates. [3]

The FIK was accepted as a member of the Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) in April 2006 and thus recognised as the peak world federation for kendo. As a consequence, the previous acronym of IKF was altered to FIK. [4] [5]

The head office of FIK is located in the All Japan Kendo Federation building in Minato-ku, Tokyo. [2]
