Thanks ender84567 for your response because what your saying is 100% right. Jhawz I see you started kendo in September 2009 so you have alot of enthusiasm but I think the CKL is not needed and too ambitious a project. Then when you started mentioning movies and other creative marketing you totally lost me. Not even the Korean Kumdo Association is going to the links to promote kumdo to the mainstream and your ideas are big most of them have been done already. I think part of the draw for kendo is not everyone practice kendo. Yes I would love to see kendo grow but I won't want it to suffer like when Judo was put in the Olympics. But that is entirely different discussion and you can search the threads. Again if there was some organization for College Kendo it should work with the AUSKF to provide opportunities for college kendoka test for ranks, maybe an annual seminar on basics with a guest Sensei, frienship practices with Japanese college clubs visiting the U.S. and maybe help providing experienced shimpan for big college tournaments. In the long run I think this will help hopefully encourage most college kendoka to still practice after they graduate.
