Kyudo is an elegant, ceremonial, non-combative method of shooting the traditional Japanese bow (yumi) and arrow (ya).

​

Kyudo requires, and therefore develops, a balanced body that works in concert with a peaceful mind.  Often referred to as "The Way of the Bow", the path of Kyudo takes a lifetime to travel.

​

Early progress in the basic form of Kyudo eventually gives way to deeper insights into specific details.  Each successive insight leads the student to a greater appreciation of the depth, subtlety and sincerity of the Kyudo experience.

​

Kyudo is one of Japans's oldest martial arts.  Today, Kyudo continues to be practiced by men and women throughout the world.
