This month, Yamate-san has returned from Japan with so many arrows.
All of them are in a very good condition and donated from Mr. Matsumoto, member of Hidaka Kyudokai, member of Ogawa Kyudokai and Kyudoka from Saitama.
It is really a great support for us as there is no Kyudo shop in Thailand.
Everyone is very happy. These arrows will help our new members to have great start in learning Kyudo.
Again, we would like to express our gratitude for a continuously kind support to everyone mentioned above. Thank you very much krub.
After a long wait from seminar, finally, a certificate from IKYF arrived.
A congratulation again to Mr. Waris Maneesathianrattana for an advance to Shodan.
It is the most important step in Kyudo. We hope you can progress further in the road of Kyudo as far as you wish.
Since last April 2018, in 4th International Kyudo Seminar and Shinsa, 3 of our members have successfully passed Ni-dan. In October, the dan certificates were sent to us from Japan .
It is a another happy day for us in Siam Kyudo Kai when we can see our member move another step. As a representative, I would like to say congratulation again to Khun Gaysinee, Patchara and Setthanan.
Let move together into the road of Kyudo.
This year the International Kyudo Seminar and Shinsa (rank test) was held in Tokyo, Japan at Chuo and Shinsenkan dojo at Meiji shrine.
The seminar covered the first 3 days and the shinsa the last day.
Four of our Siam Kyudo Kai attended this time to improve and challenge our self.
As we reach the door of the dojo, we met with our Kyudo friends from all over the world.
This made us very happy. It felt like meeting a family. Hoff sensei, Chris from Malaysia, Jeremy from Singapore and many other.
We also met my team mate from Taiwan during Nidan shinsa, Jason, Maria and Ming-jie. Lok and Ming and many more were also there.
(Thank you for all the souvenirs. They are all very tasety!)
Yamaguchi sensei, my first sensei, and Yoshi-san also come to support and cheer for us.
It made me very happy to meet both of them.
So many people participate this time! The seminar was a bit crowded but still intense.
All the sensei provided a great support and advice. We learn, improved and also made a lot of new friend during seminar.
We have tried our best in training and give it all we can in Shinsa. As the result were made publish. We are proud to know that we have 3 new Nidan: Gaysinee, Patchara and Setthanan!
We are very happy to see our member successfully move into another step in Kyudo.
As for myself, I will keep improving and challenge my practice to test Sandan again in future.
It is a great result.
After shinsa, we also had a chance to shoot together with Yamaguchi sensei again in Sumida dojo.
It is very fulfilling and that is the end of our Kyudo journey this time.
