France Kyudo
Kyûdô is traditional Japanese archery. Inherited from the samurai, kyûdô is a martial art. This warlike practice of the bow has since become an art of peace and personal development. Come and see demonstrations of traditional Japanese archery over a distance of 28 meters, and take advantage of introductory sessions to experience the Japanese art with the Ligue Île-de-France of kyûdô.
Kyûdô, literally the way of the bow, or in other words traditional Japanese archery, is a martial art that embodies all the values of traditional Japanese culture. Developing your personality, strength of character, concentration, respect for others, self-knowledge and toning up your body and posture are just some of the benefits offered by this authentic discipline.
Practitioners from the Ile-de-France region welcome you to a large 30m x 9m stand, with impressive demonstrations over a 28-meter shooting distance, the regulation distance in Japan. They'll also be on hand to answer any questions you may have about kyûdô practice or the equipment used.
