Team USA has maintained its place in the Top 3 of the World Kendo Championships since 2003, and remains the only team in the world to have ever defeated Japan in the World Kendo Championships. The Team USA coaching staff consists of individuals who have also dedicated their time as former players of the US National Kendo Team.
What has contributed to Team USA’s success over the past 20 years is the strong relationship between the coaching staff and players, as the coaches pass along the culture of Team USA as well as share their knowledge and past experiences.
