Hi!

I read that you wanted to do Kyudo, so I found you a Kyudo dojo.

Please look on this site for Heki Ryu Bisshu Chikurin-ha Kyudo:

http://www.zenko.org/contact.html

There is a Kyudo dojo right in Rochester. For more information, just read the rest of the site. This is legit. Have it on good authority... Sosnowski-sensei.

There are several Kyudo federations, and Zenko is one of them. They are all good.

The others listed no dojos for New York.

If you would like more detailed information on Kyudo, I know of two very well informed Kyudo people. Earl Hartman-sensei, on e-budo.com who has practiced Kyudo for years, and then R.A. Sosnowski-sensei, who has practiced Kyudo for at least 7 1/2 years(Last year in around Sept., he'd said it was 6 1/2, so I just added a year.), of this forum and on e-budo. Please ask them if you have further questions.

Here are the other federations if you are curious about them:

Well, I hope this is of use to you!

P.S. I didn't PM this to you, because I figured others might want this information too.

Well, this sure is cool. =)

Maybe after all my koryu experinces, I'll take a drive up to NY when the time comes, and learn some Kyudo. I'll be a wandering MA N00b! Hehe.

Peace, in the Spirit of Mizu.
