The 5 Surprising Differences Between Kyudo and Archery

Out of many Japanese traditional martial arts, there is something called “kyūdō,” which is one that uses the Japanese bow to train. Oftentimes when kyūdō is introduced to foreign countries, it is explained as “the Japanese archery.”

However, technically speaking, kyūdō and archery are very different.The only thing they have in common is that you use a bow and arrow.

So today, as a man who has trained in kyūdō for a year in the past, I will first briefly explain the history of kyūdō, and then the 5 differences between kyūdō and archery. However, I don’t have much experience in kyūdō, so I have received advice from my former instructor who has been training for more than 20 years.
