🥋Mark “Spen” Spencer is the new Head of Kudo England.🥋
I have a wealth of experience building a national martial arts federation (English Mixed Martial Arts Association) and has had international success leading English and UK teams.
Spen also assisted Mal @gkadojo as the UK Kudo vice president with his fantastic work to grow Kudo across England, Scotland and Ireland.
I will be reaching out to the English Kudo community over the next couple of weeks, I have the full support of Jukucho Osada @kenichi.osada.7 and @daidojukuhq, this is a great time to England Kudo as I will be looking towards building a national squad to compete international next year.
Our 2 year plan is to field a competitive English Team in Japan at the 2027 World Championship (ages 12 to 65 years old).
We will also be looking at inclusive programs to show not only the physical benefits but also the mental benefits for everyone.
We will be actively looking to partner English governing bodies and programs to find ways of helping all of the communities of England.

The SBG camp at @sbgmanchester is always a highlight of the year for our team.
Loads of high level coaches and rolling with the UK SBG guys. This year was the 25th year anniversary of SBG UK making it a little more special.
SBG Bradford/Team Fulinkazan was presented a lovely gift of recognition. We can’t wait to get this up in the gym.
This weekend was the annual SBG Camp held at SBG Manchester. During this weekend we had a number of sessions with experienced SBG coaches with 2 afternoon sessions with the head of SBG worldwide Matt Thornton. These weekends are open to all our students at SBG Bradford/Fulinkazan and its always packed full of knowledge. It was also the 25th Anniversary for SBG which made it even more special.
