MKK members Jing Yu and Viet Hoang made the cover of the All Nippon Kyudo Federation’s monthly magazine! As featured, Australian kyudo members around the country had a chance to receive instruction from five kyudo sensei visiting from the ANKF and the Nihon Budokan during the Kyudo seminar held in NSW.

Each year, the Nippon Budokan Foundation dispatches a “Budo Delegation” (of Japanese martial ways) to a different country to perform demonstrations, hold workshops, and facilitate greater international understanding of the traditional Japanese martial arts. This government-sponsored event was sanctioned by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Sports Agency of MEXT, and in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the signing of the “Basic Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation” (1976) between Australia and Japan, the 2016 International Budo Delegation consisted of 78 different martial arts masters.
