Archery Lesson
“Kyudo, or Japanese art of archery, is a martial art to shoot a target with a traditional Japanese-style bow and arrow.
A bow and arrow was originally created to hunt animals. Their use, however, changed over a long period of time and they were used for a long time as a weapon in the war-torn era but became outdated after arrival of guns. That’s when Japanese archery began to develop as a form of martial arts. As the samurai class was abandoned approximately 150 years ago, Japanese archery gained popularity among citizens.
