Tokyo Trip Overview
I have been practicing Kyudo since I was a high school student, and I obtained the title of master after years of training.
In the past, I faced many problems while practicing Kyudo, and in order to address them physically and mentally, I took up ZEN-meditation, Yoga, chiropractic and sports medicine.
Now, not only do I coach skilled Japanese Archery players who have much more long years experience in KYUDO than me, but I also work as a sports trainer for various types of athletes such as marathon runners, baseball players, and martial artists.
