Rick Beal kyudo

We lost a dear friend and Kyudo Dokokai Instructor, Bodhihanna Kistner. Bodhihanna was almost 89 years old when she passed away in Maui Hawaii.

This pic is from August 2013. For 6 years Bodhihanna and Budo Rick have been leading kyudo workshops in Maui Hawaii. They held most of the workshops at the Lahaina Jodo Mission.

New Zealand 2017

The 2017 Asia Oceania Seminar and Shinsa was held in New Zealand. It was the first time that this event was held outside of Japan. Because I had visited the Australian and New Zealand groups the previous couple of years in a row, I decided to support this event; and they decided to help support my attendance as well. It was a great experience all the way round.

For the Seminar I was #123 out of 131 participants.

For the Shinsa I was #128 out of 128. The last man standing, as it were.
