Kyudo Japanese Archery DVD Jordan Juliana Galende

In this instructional DVD; Shihan Jordan presents Kyudo or Japanese archery (Kyu-Jitsu); a Martial Art virtually unknown in the West which blends tradition with this deadly long-range bow. Includes the 8 stages forming a continuous cycle: ASHIBUMI (take a position); DOZUKURI (find balance); YUGAMAE (preparing the arc); UCHIOKOSHI (raising the arc ); TSUMEAI (completing the design; NOBIAI (the maximum opening); HANARE (releasing the arrow); ZANSHIN (continuity). Japanese Kyudo is a combination of a person's spirit and body mechanics; and Shihan Jordan captures the essence of this.
