This practice area in the Kyoto Budo Center’s kyudo training facility allows students to practice and review their form before unleashing arrows on the archery range located at the other end of the dojo. (Photo #12).

There is a large mirror in this room to the right of the student that allows him to look over and check his form while practicing with a makiwara straw target and moving through the 8 steps involved in each arrow’s release.
