Kyudo

Kyudo, "the way of the bow," can be described as a form of standing meditation. Under the direction of Shibata Kanjuro Sensei and senior instructors, students learn an ancient form of Japanese archery using traditional bows.

Kyudo is a form of meditation practice, not a sport and hitting the target is not considered important. The purpose of kyudo is to purify one’s heart and mind—to awaken the natural dignity of being human, beyond the obstacles of ambition, aggression or confusion.
