That's another possibility. Changing the junior nationals to include a college division. It would be easier than trying to start an entirely new business, but would it have the affect that I'm going for?

What I'm trying to do is come up with a way to expand Kendo across the U.S. To make Kendo a household name. I can't think of a better way than getting college people involved on a personal level. I would love to start with elementary schools or highschools, but I don't think it's as feasible a concept as college because of money. Colleges in general have more money than other types of schools. I know there are already some high schools in the U.S. that have Kendo clubs, but I want it to be more widespread.

I'd like to see a modern movie involving Kendo as a main theme, or perhaps some commercials for the practice of Kendo on cable tv.

I think a College Kendo League would be just the thing to help get word about Kendo out to the masses. If college people get into Kendo and love it, they will stick with it. They will take it home to their families and tell them about it. They'll look for a dojo nearby where they could train after college. It would lead to more dojos, and fresh recruits.

It could work just like the college football industry. Except Kendo teams will have cooler team names.

Thoughts?
