The New York-New Jersey Kyudo Renmei was originally founded in 2006 as a kyudo club in New Jersey. We grew to have locations in both New York and New Jersey in 2008, eventually attaining federation status in 2026. We are a part of the American Kyudo Renmei through which we are affiliated with the International Kyudo Federation.
We primarily teach the Bushakei style of kyudo, but students of all styles are welcome to practice with us.
