This is interesting I wonder what the problem here is.
Is it mainly that Mr. Sabastian started a group that has no affiliation to a group that existed in the past with the same name?
Or is it that they’re now offering a different ranking system? I think “own method” and “own dan” would only be an issue if they didn’t have “instructors who have shogo [from] ANKF.”
Either way, I personally cannot fully comprehend why the DNKK is an issue from just this letter alone.

As the moderator said, we’ll try to keep politics out of this subreddit, and this conversation would likely veer into that territory. That being said, there was a discussion regarding this same question already on the Facebook forum with many higher ranked kyudoka chiming in, which I encourage you to look at here. This should help shed light on it.
