Japanese archery, called kyudo in Japanese, is a traditional martial art, like judo, karate, and many other well-known martial arts. However, kyudo is different in that there is no direct opponent. In fact, the opponent can be said to be your own ability to perform the art correctly with dignity and honour.

This video created by students at Nara University of Education in Japan gives us an insight into how kyudo should be performed. There are a number of steps to be undertaken, which the video explains, to perform kyudo well. If you have the chance, please try experience kyudo either as a participant or a fan.
