１．The difference between kyudo and archery

　

 The difference between kyudo and archery is explained. First, if it says from the definition of language, archery will become a general term of what shoots an arrow using a bow. That is, archery and wakyu are contained in the word "archery." Kyudo becomes the game which shoots an arrow using the bow of wakyu. Archery becomes the game which shoots an arrow using a bow. With archery, it is OK also in the bow of wakyu, or the bow of archery. Therefore, even if it participates in the game of archery (archery) with the bow of wakyu, it is OK, but it cannot participate in the game of wakyu (kyudo) with archery (archery). Since kyudo and archery are the tools which shoot an arrow using a bow, it is essentially the same. Wakyu of a different place are only a bow and a bowstring, and there are neither a stabilizer, nor a site, furthermore a clicker, etc. Furthermore, wakyu mainly has only a bow for the rights and there is almost no bow for the lefts. While not hesitating archery to improvement of the tool aiming at hit, in kyudo, it respected the form of the bow from ancient times used as sacred treasures, and set the base of the tool there. The archery can carry out the mark of the place where the arrow was stuck, and meets. In kyudo, it does not come out so much and rubs the beauty of a model, etc. In kyudo, if a target is removed, it will be zero point, but in a thing like a sudden death, there is also a thing which was close to the target.

When a classification called martial art is considered as a sport, archery (archery) is a sport and I rather think that wakyu (kyudo) becomes martial art. ", as for fighting for a match, in martial art, the process in which is just a means to the last and it never reaches not to the purpose but to there is just the essence of martial art" will be said. Therefore, in kyudo, it seldom cares about hit nature. It is the purpose to push as wakyu and to train the heart, work, and the body. It aims at training the heart, work, and the body in any sports. It becomes entire another question a target and to practice it. Kyudo is only merely targeting strongly to push as wakyu and to train the heart, work, and the body.
