Please visit these other websites for more information about our state and national organizations.

There is also ANKF kyudo in Arizona, Nevada, New York/New Jersey, Washington state, and Wisconsin! Please let us know if you'd like help contacting any of these other groups for kyudo in your areas.

The Minnesota Kyudo Renmei is a member of the American Kyudo Renmei (AKR), the national organization that governs kyudo in the United States under the rules and regulations set forth by the All Nippon Kyudo Federation (ANKF). Through the AKR, we are also members of the International Kyudo Federation (IKYF).

The ANKF has a brief page in English, but also has extensive information on their Japanese page.

We regularly work with Sambu Kyuguten for our equipment purchases. They are a full-service kyudo equipment shop and are willing ship anything internationally!

Sambu's English site is available at http://www.sambu-kyugu.com for information on purchasing Sambu kyudo equipment in English! If you are able to communicate in Japanese, you can visit their Japanese site at http://www.sambu.jp.

Kyudo Information, History and Theory

Here are some links to sites that contain information about kyudo, it's history and theory. We hope to add more to this list as time goes on.

Seishinkan Kyudojo, by Mr. Earl Hartman
Seishinkan is a member dojo of the NCKF. This site contains information about his dojo, a web version of his book on kyudo and a link to a very nice translation of work written by Saito Chobo. All of which, is highly recommended reading for the kyudo enthusiast.

The Kyudo Project Incorporated, by Mr. EClay Buchanan
This is a blog-like site with a wealth of information about kyudo and news of recent events concerning kyudo around the world! Definitely worth keeping an eye on!

デービル田中の弓道のすすめ, Devil Tanaka's Kyudo site
This site is in Japanese, but there is some useful references here for those who can traverse the site.  We recommend the Flash videos of group timing, as well as the kyudo dictionary.
