Kyudo, often referred to as Japanese archery, is a traditional martial art and discipline that centers around the art of the bow and arrow. Rooted in Japanese culture and Zen Buddhism, Kyudo is renowned for its focus on precision, mindfulness, and aesthetics. In Kyudo, practitioners, known as kyudoka, learn the intricate techniques of drawing, nocking, aiming, and releasing the arrow. The art emphasizes proper form, inner calm, and harmonizing the mind, body, and spirit.
