Coach Spen appointed Head of Kudo England
25 Jul

🥋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.
