Currently kendo is not limited only to Japan. It's popularity internationally is increasing, and international kendoists are quite enthusiastic. This study is an investigation of the extent of foreign kendoists' knowledge of kendo. In 1977 foreign kendoists in Japan for a kendo workshop were surveyed adout their knowledge of kendo. The result of that survey, "A Study of the Knowlege of Foreign Kendoists, " were used as a data base to compare with a similar survey conducted this year to measure the progress of the internationalization of Kendo. The gentleness, modesty, courtesy, and general good attitude of the foreign kendoists is remarkable. In the future kendo will increasingly internationalize. The enthusiasm off oreign kendoists, if it continues to rise, will overtake that of Japanese kendoists. It is the opinion of this researcher in light of the growing internationalization of kendo that kendoists in Japan must reexamin the state of the art of kendo and deal with the problems encountered, before attempting to further the internationalization of kendo.
