Teaching styles

SINCE 1991

Traditional "Heki-ryu Bishu Chikurin-ha" family style from the Kanjuro Shibata family.

SINCE 2020

Renmei style of the Japanese Kyudo Federation (All Nippon Kyudo Federation).

The Heki-ryu Bishu Chikurin-ha and Renmei styles are taught and practised at the Montréal Dôjô.

Kyudo beginners are introduced to the discipline first by learning the Renmei style.

Those interested in learning the Heki-ryu Bishu Chikurin-ha style will be introduced at a later date, at a time deemed appropriate by Kyudo Québec instructors, in order to minimize confusion between the two styles.
