Information

Kyudo is the art of Japanese archery practiced with traditional equipment and ceremony for the purposes of training the mind, body, and spirit. The bow is drawn according to a standardized form called the Shaho - Hassetsu which is designed to make drawing the bow easy while facilitating a full draw. In addition to individual practice, we shoot in a group of 3 - 5 people according to a standardized form of movement called taihai designed to exhibit harmony and coordination.

Our practice follows the principles established by the founding committee of the All Japan Kyudo Federation (ANKF) and we practice under the Kyudo Association of Canada (KAC) who is a member renmei of the International Kyduo Federation (IKYF).

We practice weekly on Wednesdays from 7 - 9 p.m. at Capital Region Archery Club and are happy to teach anyone interested in learning Kyudo during that class.

There is no need for any prior experience or equipment, we provide all the required equipment such as bows, arrows, and gloves to start learning Kyudo. We only ask that you try and wear a white top and black bottom along with socks you don't mind getting dirty.

Capital Region Archery Club is located at 5618, 76 Ave NW with parking available in front of the building. The door is protected by a keycard lock, so please let us know if you are coming beforehand so that we can unlock the door and keep an eye out for you.
