Kendo in Barbados?

Just spent three days for work in Barbados, and had found a Japanese/Canadian man teaching Aikido who happens to be a 3-dan in Kendo. After spending two evenings with him, he made it clear that he didn't have the patience and energy to start Kendo in the island. I totally understand, considering the population is 5 times less than Trinidad and Bajans don't seem to be the most committed people (for something like Kendo anyway). His Aiki students showed limited interest in Kendo. I'll visit Bdos more regularly in the coming year so I plan on bringing my bogu next time.
