Last night for the first time I visited the Kyudo Dojo in Pasadena, CA. It was very cool, and I think I may already be hooked.
Kyudo is Japanese-style archery. It's considered a martial art, though it's not exactly geared towards "fighting", per se. It is very beautiful and meditative--highly ritualized and formal. It was fascinating to watch the whole procedure from start to finish, the precision the moves were carried out with, and the elegance of the shooting.
They meet every Saturday night, and Pasadena's about 45 miles from here, but I think I'm gonna try it out for a while. Go here for more information:
