  • Centre de la Falaise VerteMr. Jyoji Frey, a long time kyudo archer and an ordained monk in the Rinzai Zen school, has posted this web page in French detailing the Chado, Zen and Kyudo classes at his center in France. Be sure to visit all the class pages to see various views of the large and beautiful wooden building which serves as zendo and kyudo dojo. This building certainly has to rank as one of the most elegant kyudo structures outside of Japan.
  • The Asian Traditional Archery Research Network web page is live! Mr. Stephen Selby lives in Hong Kong and is actively researching the history of Chinese Archery for his upcomming book. Be sure to check out his reprints of articles from Instinctive Archer magazine!
  • The London Kyudo Society web page. This is a private dojo on school grounds in London. Although not mentioned by name, Liam O'Brien, Kyoshi, 7th dan, is the instructor and the mailto: tag on the page will send email to his internet account. This is a good way to reach O'Brien sensei who is the current president of the European Kyudo Federation. I believe that O'Brien sensei is also the chief instructor at the Brookes school dojo which also has a web page. The Brookes web page has some nice pictures of their gym dojo and equipment like a makiwara and its stand. Those interested in setting up a makiwara dojo or gym dojo should get some nice ideas from their pictures.
  • http://www.kyudo.de/index.html is the official home page of the German Kyudo Federation and their links page:
    http://home.t-online.de/home/stefan.sb.bertram/k-links.htm
    should be the first place for someone to look for up to date web page links for the official web pages of the countries making up the European Kyudo Federation.
  • http://www.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/~jibel/note.html Johannes Ibel has written this very nice English web page as an introduction to the many German language web pages, dojo addresses and so on. If you need information about the German Kyudo Federation in English this is the perfect place to start.
  • The Chozen-ji Betsuin/International Zen Dojo of Wisconsin homepage is live! Anyone interested in the Chozen-ji style of Zen Archery as taught under the supervision of noted Kyudo author and teacher Dr. Kenneth Kushner,is highly encouraged to check out this web page.
  • The Meishin Kyudojo. Home page of Dan DeProspero, the man who literally wrote the book (in English) on kyudo. This is the host home page and there are links to Dan's Meishin Kyudojo, the American Kyudo Renmei web page (of which Mr. DeProspero is the current president), and also to the Asahi Kyudo Equipment Company webpage.
  • The Omuta Kyudojo. For those of you who remember Saita sensei, the chief instructor at the 1996 American Kyudo Seminar in San Jose, California, here are pictures of his dojo in Fukuoka Prefecture. This is a rare treat, a Japanese kyudo web page with an English version. Email Kura sensei, the web master, and tell him how much you appreciate it. I did!
  • Kyudo Animation! Side by side animated comparison between the Insai-ha, a traditional Heki school, and an archer performing the modern shomen style of uchiokoshi developed from the Honda ryu. The page may take a while to download but is a great way to see the difference between the shamen and shomen uchiokoshi styles. This page must have taken a lot of work to make and my hat is off to the crew that put it together.
