HONOUR ROLL

As Kyudojin most of out practice is spent in quiet introspection. We focus on training and the truth, goodness and beauty of our chosen art. However, there are brief moments of celebration where the achievements of others are recognized and the sake flows freely. These are the times we may remember when we are struggling or facing adversity in our progress, we remember, Ganbarimashita, I did my best.

President’s Report for New Zealand Shinsa 2017 and Future Events

 

The New Zealand Kyudo Federation did an outstanding job in setting up the seminar. The venue and the organisation was impressive.

 

The Australian contingent performed extremely well. Everyone going for shodan and nidan passed their gradings.

In keeping with what was happening in general, those testing for sandan and the person testing for yondan were not quite as successful. However, Australia does now have another three sandans.
