These federations set standards for training, competitions, and safety, ensuring consistent practices across clubs and regions within a country. They typically organize national tournaments, support instructor certification, and foster cultural exchange through Kendo.

Their goal is to develop skill, discipline, and sportsmanship among practitioners while preserving the tradition and spirit of Kendo worldwide.
