Learn the ancient art of Japanese archery or Kyudo with this illustrated guide. The Japanese Art of Archery, is deeply rooted in tradition. It not only continues to enjoy widespread popularity in Japan, but is also attracting the interest of more and more foreigners, in much the same manner as Japan's other distinctive sports, such as judo, sumo, kendo, and karate. Kyudo: The Japanese Art of Archery offers a concise description of kyudo by an ardent American enthusiast, describing the aims, the techniques, and the philosophic basis of its ceremonial aspect, which is strongly influenced by Zen philosophy. Carefully illustrated, this is a practical text, giving all of the necessary fundamentals. The author clearly describes the basic difference between American and Japanese archery. He points out the superior neatness and schematic beauty of the Oriental full draw, in which the chest is fully extended and the shoulders are thrust as far apart as possible, inasmuch as the string is drawn to a point well back, as was done in the old English archery of Roger Ascham’s time.

Kyudo, Japanese archery, is one of Japan's oldest traditions. It is one of the most aesthetically pleasing of all Japanese martial ways, and it is one of the most spiritual. Kyudo has no real practical uses in self-defense, but its principles presented in The Way of the Bow can be applied to every day life. Topics covered include training, techniques, customs, uniforms, equipment, and history. Also includes a glossary of terms.

Kyudo: The Way of the Bow is the authoritative guide to the technique and philosophy of the ancient art of Japanese archery. Originally a samurai discipline, kyudo integrates technical skill with the development of a completely focused and disciplined mind. Influenced by Shintoism and Zen, kyudo is a path of self-development and meditation that requires the archer to cultivate precision, a clear mind, and freedom from fear. This detailed, clearly written guide is an indispensable reference for kyudo students and an excellent sourcebook for anyone interested in the history of archery or warfare. The author, Feliks Hoff, a kyudo practitioner for over thirty years, gives a historical and philosophical view of the art and offers practical exercises for cultivating the proper mindset for each shot; detailed instruction on proper form and technique; an overview of the etiquette, dress, and ceremonial aspects of kyudo; and a survey of the various types of equipment used. Hoff presents the basic techniques of the Heki school of kyudo in step-by-step photographs. He also provides exercises for aiming and target shooting and lists common mistakes in form, technique, and concentration along with pointers on how to correct them. For more advanced students, Hoff includes a list of examination requirements and offers advice on teaching beginners.

The comic books that came out in the 1920s to get Americans to read more comprised of many action- and super heroes, such as Batman Superman, and Wonder Woman. Since 1968 Bruce Lee playing Kato and the Green Hornet, in 1973 the movie, Enter the Dragon will introduce Asian martial arts to the USA and the world. This book will show the superhuman feats of the Japanese archers psychologically and physically, and the records they achieved, in my opinion. These unsung people would be heroes today if more readers knew of these records that the Japanese have in their history. The impact of the mental and physical is so extreme that this information hopefully will garner THE WOW FACTOR!

One Arrow, One Life is a classic treatise on kyudo, the art of traditional Japanese archery, and its relation to the ideals and practice of Zen Buddhism. With a solid introduction to the form and practice of Zen meditation, as well as a thorough description of the Eight Stages of Kyudo, One Arrow, One Life captures the subtleties of the complementary nature of thought and action, movement and stillness. Demonstrating the importance of bringing movement, posture and breathing into harmony, One Arrow, One Life interweaves Zen philosophy with daily experience and techniques, teachers, and the dojo, to give a name and face to kyudo. Beginning with its discussion of the breathing, posture, and concentration that is fundamental to both disciplines, then quickly moving on to the subtleties of advanced practice, author, Ken Kushner ties everything together into a personal testimony of the pervasiveness of Zen in everyday life. Illustrator, Jackson Morisawa's line drawings bring the art of kyudo to life. For those interested in Zen and moving meditation, kyudo practitioners of all levels, as well as students of the Way of martial arts, this volume is an indispensable guidebook.

Target presents a unique approach to business and life, taking inspiration from the wisdom of the ancient Japanese martial art of archery -- Kyudo. Kyudo has a particular teaching: "Right shooting always results in a hit." This means that you shouldn't worry about simply hitting the target; instead, you should calmly focus your energy and willpower on proper mindset and form. In doing so, this "right-minded shooting" will naturally result in a hit. In the business world, we are all under the pressure of hitting sales targets, improving profit margins, increasing efficiency and maintaining relationships. The philosophy of Kyudo gives new perspectives and solutions to the struggles and opportunities that anyone may encounter in their business and career. Target stands as a relevant guide to our modern times. The Kyudo aphorisms have been passed from Japanese masters directly to the author, and have been put into practice for professional and personal situations.

Traditional Japanese martial art Kyudo is primarily concerned with the skill of archery. This route is frequently denoted as "The Way of the Bow." In contrast to contemporary competitive archery, which prioritizes speed and accuracy, Kyudo places considerable emphasis on the contemplative and spiritual dimensions of bowmanship. Practitioners of Kyudo strive not only to strike the target, but also to attain a state of physical and mental harmony. The exercise regimen entails rigorous observance of form and technique, showcasing movements that are distinguished by their fluidity, grace, and mindfulness. Dedicated individuals commonly endure strenuous regimens of instruction in posture, respiration, and concentration, with the dual objective of honing their bowmanship prowess and fostering introspection, discipline, and tranquility. Kyudo was historically employed by samurai as a method of character development and the cultivation of mental and spiritual fortitude. Presently, it continues to be executed as a martial art and is regarded as an embodiment of traditional Japanese culture. It is frequently performed in a formal setting, with participants donning customary garments and adhering to rituals and decorum that have been transmitted across generations.
