Here is the story of our school explained
Kyudo Praxis
The 7 coordinations
In our school, the shooting sequence is completed in seven steps (7 coordinations). The instructions go back to the founder of the school in the late 16th century. In the introduction you will get to know these steps and try to implement them as accurately as possible. The corrections attempt to reconcile subjective and objective perception. This begins a personal process called the kyudo way of the bow that can change our lives. Chapter XVII lists the seven emotions. They have a special meaning in this way.
