Kyudo is traditional Japanese archery the "Zen Art of Archery." At Miyako Kyudojo in the Washington, DC area, Kyudo is not a sport, but a form of meditation. Starting with the precision of the movements, peaking with the power of the arrow's release, and continuing with everyday life, a process unfolds in which the practitioner has the opportunity to see his or her mind, pure and spacious. To practice Kyudo in this way, one must have a good teacher a master. Who is our teacher? Kanjuro Shibata, Sensei is such a teacher. Since the early 16th century the Shibata family has maintained an unbroken lineage of master archers and bow makers for the shoguns and warrior families of Japan. In 1877 the 18th Kanjuro Shibata received appointment to the post of official Bow Maker and Archer to the Emperor. Since then, the 19th and 20th Shibata lineage holders have continued to make bows for dignitaries, official functions and for the practice of Kyudo. In 1994, Sensei's son, Nobuhiro Shibata, was recognized as the 21st in the lineage. The 20th Kanjuro Shibata continues as a "Living Treasure of Kyoto," and the head of the Bishu Chikurin-ha branch of the Heki-ryu school of Kyudo. In 1980 Kanjuro Shibata (XX) established his first dojo in the west, in Boulder, Colorado (USA). Since then he has expanded to over 30 locations in North America and Europe. For a full list, see the

Welcome to the Homepage of the TEXAS KYUDO KAI Dallas, Texas The Texas Kyudo Kai is dedicated to the study and practice of KYUDO Traditional Japanese Archery Kyudo is one of Japan's oldest and purest martial arts. It is an elegant, ceremonial, non-combative method of shooting the traditional Japanese bow and arrow. Kyudo requires, and therefore develops, a balanced body that works in concert with a peaceful mind. Kyudo, literally "the Way (or Path) of the Bow", is a path that takes a lifetime to travel. Early progress in the basic forms of Kyudo soon give way to deeper insights into specific details. Each successive insight leads the student to a greater appreciation of the depth, subtlety and sincerity of the Kyudo experience. Originating in Japan, Kyudo is now practiced by men and women throughout the world. The TKK is recognized by the All Japan Kyudo Federation (ANKF), and adheres to ANKF shooting standards. Our style emphasizes reishakei or ceremonial shooting, but students of all styles are welcome to practice with us. The Texas Kyudo Kai is an Associate Member of the American Kyudo Renmei (AKR) TKK PRACTICE SESSIONS: TKK practice sessions are held in the Dallas, Texas area, usually on the weekend, either Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoon, depending on the time of the year and personal committments. Our training schedule may change, so if you wish to visit a training session, please contact

20. White Rose Kyudojo - Kyudo Despite its ostensible esoteric content, kyudo is not a shortcut to a certain development of mind achieved in other Budo by many years of regular http://www.japanese-archery.org.uk/kyudo.html

Kyudo Purpose The Shooting The Outer Target The Form The movements in formal kyudo are very beautiful and are as complex as the shooting itself-the standard shooting form for a single archer takes twenty minutes during which only two arrows are shot. The use of the hips and the slow positioning of the body, the waiting postures and methods of walking produce considerable strength and flexibility. The mastery of the breathing patterns gives the movements a magical and dynamic pace that is not found in everyday life. This combination of the warrior, the dancer and the monk can teach the archer patience, concentration, relaxed focus, improved decision making, harmonisation with others, and a realistic view of their potential for self- development. The Inner Target One of the differences between sport and Budo lies in the pursuit, for its own sake, of a certain beauty of movement and moment that goes beyond everyday logic. All the Japanese Budo put the ethic of correct posture and skeletal/muscular balance infused by sincere effort, before effectiveness for its own sake. When that beauty, and the reality of the arrow in flight come together, then something truly magical happens producing a unique experience for the observer and the archer.
