Extractions: The pictures from the NCKF 2003 New Year's Tournament are in! The last set of pictures of a single target need a bit of explaining. There are four holes in this target (the 4th is hard to see because it is in the bottom of the middle thin black target band). Those four holes are impressive. Performing well in a tournament is always hard but performing well in a shootoff is especially difficult. There were two ties in the final standing: 3rd place in overall hits between Kevin Lo and Jon McAllister and 3rd place in the "B" group between Ted Triant and Alex Connell. In both shootoffs both contestents hit the target which was a closest to the center competition. In both shootoffs the second shooter was closer to the center than the first which made for the most exciting shootoff we've ever had at an NCKF event. Congratulations to the winners and especially the shootoff contestents for remaining cool under the pressure of competition! The pictures from the Shiseikan 2002 Shukushakai are in! Since only Belinda passed a promotion test during the year all the dojo members performed a celebration shooting, shukusha, for her and then, Belinda performed a toreisha (return thank you shooting) which also served as a nosha, closing ceremonial shooting, for the session and the year. A bonnenkai was then held at a local Japanese resturant.

Extractions: With a corselet slung across his body, he ran up to the gate tower, carrying a closely wound rattan bow and a twenty four arrow war quiver, drew forth an arrow from the middle of the quiver, fitted it along the string and opened the boards of a window to make a peaked hole, and shouting down he spoke a word to the enemy. Speaking, he pulled back the bowstring, full and slow, until with a singing sound the arrow few away that measured twelve hands and the breadth of three fingers. Its arrowhead hit square in the middle of the foremost rider's helmet and drove through clearly to the first neck plate, so that he fell headlong from the horse"

Extractions: Welcome to the Homepage of the TEXAS KYUDO RENMEI Dallas, Texas The Texas Kyudo Renmei is dedicated to the study and practice of KYUDO Traditional Japanese Archery Kyudo is one of Japan's oldest and purest martial arts. It is an elegant, ceremonial, non-combative method of shooting the traditional Japanese bow and arrow. Kyudo requires, and therefore develops, a balanced body that works in concert with a peaceful mind. Kyudo, literally "the Way (or Path) of the Bow", is a path that takes a lifetime to travel. Early progress in the basic forms of Kyudo soon give way to deeper insights into specific details. Each successive insight leads the student to a greater appreciation of the depth, subtlety and sincerity of the Kyudo experience. Originating in Japan, Kyudo is now practiced by men and women throughout the world. The TKR is recognized by the All Japan Kyudo Federation (ANKF), and adheres to ANKF shooting standards. Our style emphasizes reishakei or ceremonial shooting, but students of all styles are welcome to practice with us. The Texas Kyudo Renmei is a Charter Member of the American Kyudo Renmei (AKR) TKR PRACTICE SESSIONS: TKR practice sessions are held in the Dallas, Texas area, usually on the weekend, either Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoon, depending on the time of the year, personal committments and the availability of the gym. Our training schedule may change, so if you wish to visit a training session, please contact

Extractions: Scheduled Events Kyudo is traditional Japanese archery the "Zen Art of Archery." At Miyako Kyudojo in the Washington, DC area, Kyudo is not a sport, but a form of meditation. Starting with the precision of the movements, peaking with the power of the arrow's release, and continuing with everyday life, a process unfolds in which the practitioner has the opportunity to see his or her mind, pure and spacious. To practice Kyudo in this way, one must have a good teacher a master. Kanjuro Shibata, Sensei is such a teacher. Since the early 16th century the Shibata family has maintained an unbroken lineage of master archers and bow makers for the shoguns and warrior families of Japan. In 1877 the 18th Kanjuro Shibata received appointment to the post of official Bow Maker and Archer to the Emperor. Since then, the 19th and 20th Shibata lineage holders have continued to make bows for dignitaries, official functions and for the practice of Kyudo. In 1994, Sensei's son, Nobuhiro Shibata, was recognized as the 21st in the lineage. The 20th Kanjuro Shibata continues as a "Living Treasure of Kyoto," and the head of the Bishu Chikurin-ha branch of the Heki-ryu school of Kyudo. In 1980 Kanjuro Shibata (XX) established his first dojo in the west, in Boulder, Colorado (USA). Since then he has expanded to over 30 locations in North America and Europe. For a full list, see the
