What does archery have to do with Kung fu? Everything. Anything. This book is a collection of notes from a well known (in archery circles, anyway) Japanese archery instructor. The notes are, unsurprisingly, about how to be a better archer.

Equally as unsurprising is that most of the notes are directly applicable to Kung fu. There’s tons of references to breathing from your belly, relaxing, moving from your center… things we talk about constantly in class.

It’s nice to know that there are many principles that apply across all styles of martial arts. It’s also nice to hear these principles voiced from an entirely different perspective. Great short and easy read.
