About Kyudo

Kyudo, which literally means The Way of the Bow, is considered by many to be the purest of all the martial ways. The Japanese bow was used for hunting, war, court ceremonies, games, and contests of skill. The original word for Japanese archery was kyujutsu (bow technique) which encompassed the skills and techniques of the warrior archer. Some of the ancient schools, known as ryu, survive today, along with the ancient ceremonies and games, but the days where the Japanese bow was used as a weapon are long past. Today kyudo is practiced primarily as a method of physical, moral, and spiritual development
