Wow, great think to hear. Congrats on the Morrocan Kendo Revival (has a nice sound to it, don't you think ).
I agree Thank you, i just learned last weekend that Morocco was reprensented in 1976 WKC, all the guys were kyu grade under a french coach, actually one of those guys who's 65 years old now lent an official publication to Chan sensei which contains pictures of all the 76 WKC team members. I'll ask Chan sensei if he can scan and upload some pages. I did know that the first sighting of kendo as well as iaido out here was thanks to Georges Stobbaerts Sensei who's a native of Morocco (one of the founders of the IKF/FIK) , sadly kendo and iaido didn't thrive, i guess it must've been either because of a lack of interest or that it was more financially demanding than say aikido.

Hopefully kendo is there to stay for good this time.
Yeah we'll do our best to make it so thank you.
