3 comments about Kyudo the Japanese Art of Archery.
  1. After reading this book in one short sitting, I am unsure as to why the author wrote it. The book basically describes a step-by-step process of Kyudo with several anecdotes sprinkled here and there. The reader is provided with many technical details, but is left confused from the lack of a fluid overview of the subject matter. The few illustrations that do exist provided very little descriptive aid to the text. Noticeable aspects of the book are its tone and language. The writing style is both cumbersome and reminiscent of a 1940's technical manual. The author also assumes that the reader knows very little of the Japanese culture and beliefs. While this is not a fault, it is an ineffective assumption for such a short book. I assumed that the book was meant to be an introduction to Kyudo. In this regard, the book failed to accomplish its goal, leaving anyone interested in Kyudo to search for a more substantial and clear text.


  2. Kyudo: The Japanese Art of Archery
    By William R.B. Acker,Joseph Acker.
    A little book so if you fancy it order it with another to keep the postage down. Interested in Archery whilst based in Japan the author decides to take the Japanese route to Archery, and as with most sports in Japan there is a discipline of archery called Kyudo. There are some good interesting comments on physical stance and concentration that will make the difference to improving your skills.


  3. I haven't actually finished the little book yet. I was disappointed it was so thin; but after I started reading, I realized that there was a lot of information packed in there.

    I also haven't finished it yet, but the book has really peaked my interest. I've started looking for local tournaments, so that I might start as a spectator.

  1. This book is very technical in its dealing with the ancient art of Japanese archery. It goes over the equipment, techniques, and etiquite for kyudo. I recommend this for those who are going to start studying archery or those who are already studying it. However, I don't recommend this for casual reading. If you are interested in reading about martial arts for pleasure, I recommend that you pass on this book. If you need a reference to help you with your kyudo technique, this is great.


  2. This is a good book if you want to learn how to accurately shoot a Japanese Yumi, but dare not call it Kyudo. In Kyudo you practice technique so you don't have to use it. If all you are interested in is how to put an arrow on a piece of paper from 90ft away, this book is for you. If you are new to Kyudo, in this case, this book would be of some help, but it is only one piece of the puzzle, 1/3 to be exact. If you consider this book to only be the first third of Kyudo, then this is one of the better books detailing that particular part. It will surly get you started.

  1. In Kyudo: The Essence and Practice of Japanese Archery (Bushido--The Way of the Warrior)yuo'll find the lost way in our every day life. Life as arrows, may flight to the tag or may be broken.
    With a lots of pictures and explanations about Zen Archery, this book is a great deal.


  2. Fun book if you want to not only learn the art of Japaneese long bow, but the history as well.


  3. This book was great because it gives the reader, the history of the Japanese bow, and how the culture of Bushido arose.


  4. I have no understanding or training in Kyudo (I am ranked in Kenjutsu - Japanese swordsmanship), and have purchased this book in order to practice with my new bow, and add a new level to my Budo training.

    The wonderful sketches, explanation and pictures are no replacement for a real teacher, but this book is as close as possible to it. Detailed forms of the draw and shot, explanation of common mistakes, graphs of missed shots and what mistake in the correct form they reflect.

    I recommend this book the kyudo practitioners, and want-to-be practitioners - A great way to connect yourself to the Japanese way of the bow.

    Just remember - the first step is to stop fearing the bow...


  5. This a great book not only to further understand the spirit of kyudo but to improve one's technique. The foreword is very interesting and will immediately take you to the essence of what kyudo really is. In the afterword, the levels of practice are explained in detailed which will help you understand how the path of kyudo can help you become a more peaceful person.
