This is an article of Guatemala Kendo Association. I was there in year 2000 as the second kendo volunteer of Japan International Cooperation Agency.

It has been over 10 years since I was a part of Guatemala kendo. Now Guatemalan kendo has grown big. I think they are one of the kendo clubs in the world doing really well.
