Yeah there are a few schools, and ofcourse I won't go to Japan without any knowledge of any martial art in the first place. ^^

Knowing that I'm 19 and haven't done any other martial art, my chances are low of even being able to join a Kyudojo there, should I decide to live in Japan.

I've already tried to contact a few Kyudojos over the past month but I haven't had a single reply / answered call. When I drop by they're also closed or "Occupied". So I couldn't ask for any info


But I want to have at least a few years of experience (I was thinking around 8) until I would try to join a Kyudojo in Japan. So I figured: the sooner I start, the better.

Thanks for the reply, I'll keep the Aikido thing in my mind for when I don't get any replies for the Kyudo.
