For my CIP, I went to the Kyoto City Budo Center once or twice every week for two hours each practice and tried Kyudo under \u53e4\u5c4b\u5148\u751f! Kyudo is not quite like the competitive sports I have tried in the States. It is kind of like archery, but more focused on the presentation and the process of drawing the bow rather than aiming and hitting the target. I picked this CIP in the first place because I wanted to do some sort of exercises, and I also wanted to build more upper body strength. This CIP works perfectly for my personal goals!<\/p>\n
Connecting with the local community at the Budo Center can be a bit challenging. Communicating with \u53e4\u5c4b\u5148\u751f gets challenging at times, but he is really sweet and very funny (i hope my Japanese is good enough to understand all of his jokes). As clumsy as I am, I still really enjoyed Kyudo! I think the repetition of the same movements and focusing entirely on my body is a new and meditative experience for me. It was also very rewarding (especially when I actually hit the target) and relaxing.<\/p>\n
I recommend this CIP to anyone looking for a new experience and wanting to move their bodies a bit! To put it simply, Kyudo is just really cool-looking. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
