INTRO TO KYUDO COURSE

The Intro to Kyudo Course is designed to provide new students with a guide during their first steps into Kyudo.  In this 10 week course you will learn dojo safety, etiquette, a brief history of Kyudo, and hands-on practice of shooting technique, basic movements and postures. Most of the course will be taught using a gomuyumi (rubber practice bow) and will concentrate on the fundamentals. 

Attendance is mandatory for all 10 weeks in order to successfully pass the course and allow participation in regular practice. This is both for to prepare you for regular practice and to ensure your safety and the safety of your fellow members.

Next Course Dates: To be determined.  Please see the calendar for exact dates.
