Kyudo or Kyūdō (弓道?), literally meaning "way of the bow", is the Japanese art of archery. It is a modern Japanese martial art (gendai budō) and practitioners are known as kyudoka (弓道家?).
It is estimated that there are approximately half a million practitioners of kyudo today.[citation needed] In 2005 the International Kyudo Federation had 132,760 graded members,[1] but in addition to this kyudo is taught at Japanese schools and some traditions refrain from federation membership.

I've never done this sport, however I find it really interesting.
Anyone who has done it? Or is interested?

I have never done it either but I've always wanted to! Looks so interesting! My friend's brother is taking archery for college...-_- lucky him. I really hope to get a chance to learn sometime.
