Calendar of Events

Individuals who have completed the First Shot program at any dojo are welcome to practice with Toko and to participate in any Toko program. Kyudoka practicing other styles are welcome to visit, however will be required to take a First Shot program and to adopt the Zenko form if they wish to continue their practice with Toko Kyudojo.

Weekly Practice
Practice sessions are held every Monday evening between 6:30 and 9:00. in the main area of the Shambhala Center, 118 W 22nd St. 6th Floor (go in to the second door downstairs and ring to be buzzed in). Visitors are always welcome. Please note that shoes are not permitted in the dojo (practice room). Shoes may be stored in two closets located in the main area of the Shambhala Center.

We open each class with a brief (10 minutes) period of sitting meditation. During this time, visitors may join in the meditation or sit on a chair in the back and observe.

Beginner Programs
The First Shot (beginner) program is offered in New York City about three times each year -- as a two-day weekend workshop, or in a series of three consecutive Monday evenings. See calendar below for the next scheduled program.

Class equipment is provided for all First Shot programs at no additional charge. This equipment consists of traditional bows (yumi), gloves (ugake), and arrows (ya). Uniforms are not required; loose fitting comfortable clothing is suggested.

A limited number of scholarships, in the form of reduced fees, are available for most of our programs for those in financial need. Please inquire if you are in need of scholarship assistance.
