We have put associations or federations regardless of whether they yet fully recognised by the ENF/INF or just starting out. We have decided against listing individual dojos – once you click to the country pages, clubs are invariably listed.
Webmasters, if there are any changes to main index pages, please lets us know and we’ll change our hyperlink. Equally, webmasters, please ensure that GREAT BRITAIN (not “United Kingdom”) only has the hyperlink to: www.naginata.org.uk
