We regularly meet at the Bellevue Highland Community Center Gym. Parking is free.
Classes include formal movement and shooting form. A typical class includes 1 hour group instruction and individual coaching on movement, standing, walking, sitting, bowing while handling the bow and arrows and 1 hour of group shooting practice with individual coaching. The 3rd hour is free practice with instructors assisting individuals’ particular needs.
We provide beginners bows. We assist members in selecting and purchasing, shipping, their own arrows, shooting glove, uniform and the various accessories need for Kyudo from Japan.
