		Kyudo Introductory Activity Oct 2021 The HKKA held two experience days on 16 and 24 October. We were glad to share the joy of kyudo with the participants. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the volunteer members of the approved dojos for their assistance in making the experience day a success. ‘Ichi-go ichi-e’, a once-in-a-lifetime encounter, is what our value is, treasuring every opportunity. With this in mind, we hope to continue to promote kyudo in the territory.

Even though all the kyudojos were closed during the pandemic, all participants still tried their best to practice at home to keep the excitement of the competition intact. Owing to the restrictions under the current public order, the number of participants was reduced. Nonetheless, the annual competition ended successfully with the enthusiastic participation of many staff and members.

Thanks to the hard work of our helpers and the cooperation of the members, the inaugural event was completed with laughter.
