KAC Vancouver:
100 arrow Taikai in Vancouver
Last Saturday we held a 100 arrow taikai in the Vancouver dojo. Thanks to everyone who participated. We are proud to say that five students made it all the way to the 100th arrow. The taikai went just under six hours in length, with 20 arrows shot two at a time in full taihai, and the other 80 shot in rounds of four in standing form.
We will be offering the Beginner’s Introduction to Kyudo in Vancouver this Fall starting on September 10th. For more information, click here or contact us at vancouver@kyudo.ca

KAC News:
Congratulations to Tabitha Nakajima on achieving nidan, and to Alanna Kho and Mirjanah Valdes on earning ikkyu. Mike and I were unsuccessful in our exams but our efforts will yield success when we are ready. Until then, slowly but surely.
Thank you to all the Vancouver attendees for your effort and dedication this past winter and spring as we prepared for the seminar. And a special thank you to those members at the Vancouver club who did not attend but provided support and encouragement through our months of preparation. We look forward to more of you attending the seminar in California next year.
The seminar this year was unique in that kyudoka from Vancouver and Toronto represented
Canada. At last, we did not feel so lonely in our travels in America. It was great
for the Vancouver members to finally meet Takahashi-san and many of her club members.
We discovered that we had a lot of common interests outside of kyudo. Hopefully we
will have opportunities to meet before the next seminar. A heartfelt thank you to
Minoru Tanaka for his thoughtful gifts to our members. The waterproof bow covers
will certainly be appreciated this coming winter.
Most importantly the sensei were generous with their technical knowledge and philosophical insights into kyudo. Let's improve ourselves inside and outside of the dojo. I hope we can use what we have gained from this seminar to help one another improve our kyudo.
See you at practice.
