What is kyudo, or the way of the bow?
Kyudo is a discipline that originated in Japanese culture. It is both an art and a means of self-realisation, through the ritualised practice of archery.
It is a means of self-transformation towards greater well-being and a search for personal truth.
As a martial art, it has its roots in the history of the samurai, who used it on the battlefield.
It was later influenced and nurtured by Zen.
