On 15 and 16 February 2025, 44 Belgian and Luxembourg practitioners, from shodan to godan, gathered at the Taitokan Kyudojo in Liège, in a renovated and bright hall.

They were divided by rank into two shajo of five mato. Under the guidance of Alain Dubois, Renshi Godan, and Constant Piqueray, Godan, assisted by the leaders of the other dojos, they worked on shinsa no mai in the morning and shooting technique in the afternoon. As a break, the highest-ranked practitioners experienced the joys of mochi mato sharei on Saturday and the role of kaizoe in yawatashi on Sunday.

The working atmosphere was studious and peaceful. We all enjoyed this wonderful step on the path of archery.
