About Us

The Milwaukee Kyudo Kai is a kyudo club affiliated with the Southern California Kyudo Renmei, a member of the American Kyudo Renmei and the International Kyudo Federation.

Our instructor is Michael Wert. He has been training in budo since 1990 but began kyudo in 1997 in Japan. He has lived in Japan on and off for six years and often returns for training in kyudo and other budo, and professional work (he holds a PhD in East Asian/Japanese history and is a professor at a local university.) For more on his professional work see michaelwert.com. He currently holds the rank of godan (passed in May, 2005 in Maebashi, Japan).
