Kyudo is a traditional Japanese practice that uses the act of shooting the Japanese bow for the cultivation of the person and the development of physical and mental well-being. It is now a worldwide practice that has both cultural and sporting aspects. Kyudo places greater emphasis on the beauty of form, with accuracy being seen as an expression of correct shooting rather than “hitting for hitting sake.” Learn about the history of Kyudo and observe a demonstration of the Shaho Hassetsu, known as the Eight Stages of Shooting, explained by instructor Jade Fraundorfer.
