Practical instruction was provided from 1902 onwards by Kawase Genkuro and Iguchi Akuri, who had studied in the United States. From the publication of Japan's first "School Gymnastics Instruction Guidelines" in 1913 until Japan's defeat in 1945, gymnastics classes were based on the principles of Swedish gymnastics, and it had a huge impact on school physical education in Japan.
