Beginners will receive instruction in the basic form of kyudo, the "Seven Coordinations.” In Kyudo, the target becomes a mirror that reflects back to the practitioner the quality of one's mind at the moment of the arrow's release. We will first teach the archery form without a bow and arrow. We will then progress to the bow and arrow to practice at a short-range target, or makiwara (approx. 2 m away). At the end, we'll practice on the long-range target, or mato. Organized by the MIT-Japan program, Byakko-kyudojo.
