The 2015 Joint Seminar with the Virginia Kyudo Renmei was the first expanded into 2-day seminar. It was held on Saturday, October 10th and Sunday October 11th at the Jersey City Education & Recreation Center (CERC). Many members had come to the joint practice from both Virginia dojo as well as our local New York/New Jersey dojo.
