Kyudo which means the "Japanese way of the bow", is an archery martial art. It is considered to be the purest of all martial arts. It of course involves bows and arrows where one use to train his concentration and composure. The bow is called a "yumi" and is traditionally made out of bamboo, wood and leather, using techniques that have not changed for a long time. On the other hand, the length of the arrow,or "ya", is determined by the draw length of the archer. The archer is also known as the "yatsuka". Of course,Modern kyudo is practiced primarily as a method of physical, moral, and spiritual development.
