Five members from the West of Scotland Kyudo Society presented for a special International Kyudo Federation video shinsa (grading examination) for 1 dan at our dojo in Prestwick on 19th September 2021.
We are happy to announce that all five members who presented for 1 dan passed their shinsa grading exam! Congratulations to all five of our new 1 dan WSKS members. While the shinsa situation was very different this year compared to previous years, the Society is thankful to all involved in the organisation and administration of this year’s shinsa.
We are happy to have resumed practices at Prestwick Academy on 25 July 2021.
Beginners are welcome to observe through prior arrangement and contact us for information on the next beginners intake where places are limited. We hope to run a beginners course starting on 10 October 2021.
We look forward to having people back in the dojo! Email us your questions at info@westofscotlandkyudo.org
