Kyudo

4 points

With the rise of firearms on the Japanese battlefield in
the 1570s, the bow fell into decline as a military weapon.
Japanese society admired skilled archers, though, and
desired to preserve Kyujutsu. Thus, it became one of the
first -jutsu arts to develop a -do form.
Kyudo breaks down each shot into eight stages and
expects the archer to move smoothly between them, per-
forming each with equal deliberation. Training proceeds
slowly and treats target shooting as a distraction until one
has mastered posture, breathing, and the draw. The art is
equally formal in competition.
Kyudo is practiced from both kneeling and standing
postures.
