I think you have little or no chance of becoming a member of the EKF/FIK but I wish you luck. Kendo na hEirean wanted to register their name as the Irish Kendo Federation (or something similar) but the BKA made sure that didnt happen... and thats something as small/unimportant as a name. The BKAs issue there of-course, was that N.Ireland is part of the UK.
I can think of a number of reasons why you may hesitate wanting to affiliate yourself with the BKA, but im guessing people will wonder what your reasons are.... after all, you are ignoring an established organisation and potentially denying your students access to seminars/grading opportunities, and the ability to take part in the European and World kendo championships.
Im sure you can get round the 1st load of problems by being a member dojo of a different organisation, but it seems a shame that your younger members might not be able, one day, to take part in the European and World Championship.
