Description
The bow and arrow are among humanity's oldest tools, long used for hunting and as weapons of war. The samurai tradition of archery known as Kyudo integrates the study of technical skills with the development of a focused mind. KYUDO is a clearly written guide to this martial art that is practised by many people in Japan but is little known in the West.
Author Bio
Feliks F. Hoff has been a leading figure in kyudo for several decades in Germany, where he teaches the art at the University of Hamburg and the Freie Hochschule Hamburg.
