NOTE Regarding COVID-19 and Fall 2020 Programming: Alternate training options will be evaluated at the time of classes to observe the safest public health requirements we are facing at the current moment. -- The Shuuko Kyudojo, located at Hampshire College, is a charter dojo of our governing association, Zenko International. "Shuuko" is the name our elemental symbolic tiger designation suggesting "circle" but on a deeper level meaning, "longevity". Names and element designations were assigned to kyudojo locations all over the United States by the late founder of Zenko International, "Sendai" Shibata XX. ('Sendai' is a posthumous title.) His son, Mr. Kanjuro Shibata XXI, is now the active leader of Zenko and represents the 21st generation in an unbroken line of official bow-makers to the Japanese emperor. Members and participants of the Hampshire Shuuko Kyudojo will experience advanced topics and extensions of their previous training in Kyudo. If you are a new member, a complete tutorial in beginner's instruction will be provided. No purchasing of kyudo equipment will be necessary - we have a full inventory of class equipment for beginning students to use in class. Use of personal equipment is encouraged. For more information about us, please visit: shuuko.org Practice will meet in the South Lounge, 2nd floor of the Robert Crown Center.

This course is in-person and cannot accommodate fully remote students. Please contact instructor for membership enrollment.
