The Neandertal Kyudo Club was founded in 2002 by Reinhard Kollotzek and Thomas Eberle. Today, about 30 adults from the greater Düsseldorf area practice this traditional form of archery twice a week. We also have Japanese members. In addition to teaching the technique, the club aims to convey the traditional values of Kyudo and provide insights into Japanese culture. Furthermore, the national and international organization offers many opportunities to forge friendly connections with Kyudoka around the world. Since its founding, the club has achieved numerous competitive successes. Many members have already successfully passed the exams to earn dan ranks. Training is led by Reinhard Kollotzek (5th dan) and Uta Scholten (4th dan). They hold the appropriate licenses from the DKyuB. Current training times can be found under “Schedule,” and directions to the training locations are available under “Directions.” Special events and performances by the club can be found under “Events.”

The Kyudoverein Neandertal e.V. is a member of the North Rhine-Westphalia Kyudo Association, the German Kyudo Federation, and the LSB NRW (1201025).
