We are the Minnesota Kyudo Renmei. We practice "kyudo," a Japanese martial art rooted in traditional cultural archery that promotes the harmonious development of mind, body, and spirit. Through kyudo, we foster deep connections to Japanese traditions while serving as a bridge for cultural exchange between the United States and Japan.
This educational event offers participants of all ages a chance to deepen their mastery of kyudo, connect with a global community of practitioners, and the potential to earn official rankings, advancing both their skills and recognition in the art.
Contributions will help preserve and promote this rich cultural exchange of teachings from Japan, ensuring it thrives and inspires a growing interest throughout the United States. By supporting this event, you can play a vital role in enriching local connections while gaining recognition as a contributor to cultural traditions on an international scale
