Onaga Yoshikatsu, sensei's
son, this was taken either in 1989 or 1990. Yoshikatsu is now a
Police Officer, and continues to train as his schedule permits.
You can see Michiko sensei as a teenager in the background
training with her father. |

1995 prior to the Pre-world tournament.

Iha Koe and me in the Dojo. Iha-san returned to
active training and teaching when Onaga sensei opened the
Shinjinbukan, he was the assistant instructor for the first few
years I was at the Onaga dojo. Iha-san was Yuchoku sensei's
brother-in-law and student. When Higa sensei passed away in 1994
Iha-san returned to the Kyudokan to try to keep things running.
He is now the most senior member of the Kyudokan. I spent many
hours with Iha-san learning Jion and Kukan-tsuki. |

Cleaning the dojo after every class is paramount.
We scrub, wipe and polish nearly every inch of the dojo after
each class.
