Jonathan “Jon” Beltz
The brains and brawn behind the masterpiece that is Straying Abroad. Jon is a semi-well-known photographer in a sizeable portion of the significant West Texas city of Lubbock. He enjoys writing but does not attest to its quality and ability to entertain. In most cases you can find him fanatasizing about all things international while using words that don’t exist to describe how swanky certain culture points are. And yes, he does enjoy walks on the beach, but only alone!

Jonathan,
Are you in Raleigh now?
Finding time to attend practice is the real secret to Kyudo. The rest is just practicing till one runs out of mistakes.
I attended practice today at Meishin (Apex NC). There were three students which is a nice class size (short kiza). Two Sho Dan and me a San Dan practicing. It was a beautiful fall day to be shooting. Dan Sensei was there and a topic of the class was yugaeri. Mine sucks.
If you want to just visit and just watch practice feel welcome. This way you can gauge how much you’d like to come back.
Rick Beal from California once told me that all it takes is two arrows a day. I didn’t realize how much effort that takes.
Hope to see you sometime.
Dave
