The International Kendo Federation (FIK) was founded in 1970. It is an international federation of national and regional kendo associations.
The FIK is a non-governmental organisation and its aim is to promote and popularise kendo, iaido and jÅdÅ. Seventeen national or regional federations were the founding affiliates. The number of countries affiliated has increased over the years and in May 2015 the total had grown to 57.
The FIK was accepted as a member of the General 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.
The head office of FIK is located in the All Japan Kendo Federation building in Minato-ku, Tokyo.
