The purpose of this study is to clarify the kendo spread activities(dojo and schools) of Nakwon Kang(NK)in Korea under Japanese rule(1921-1942). The method was based on historical analyzing documents(mainly organization’s documents and newspapers realated to NK). The results are as follows:
1)At the Korean Budokan(1921-1942), NK implemented the kendo spread activities(holding kendo competitions, conducting mid-winter training, dan/kyu examinations, organizing the kendo expedition team, etc.) in order to promote the unification of the Korean Budo community and the training of the mind and body of the Koreans.
2)At Yeonhee College(1929-1941), NK taught Kendo to foster students with the harmonious combination of knowledge, moral, and body. The final position of NK in Yeonhee was the head of Budo department and associate professor.
3)At Ewha Womans College(1935-1941), NK conducted mid-winter training and kyu examination as a master of the kendo department for the purpose of training the female students’ mind and body. Through the examination, NK gave birth to the first female student “kyu” holder in Korea. In conclusion, given the results above, the NK’s kendo spread activities promoted the organization of kendo in Korea(management of competition, dan/kyu examination)for the mind and body training of Koreans through the dojo and schools. and they characterized both the cultivation of “dan/ kyu” holders and expanding the kendo population throughout Korean society.
