Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Archery That many young men, noble as well as others, willingly spend time shooting with the bow, I am not astonished. We learn from the first book of the Bible that the bow has been in use since the beginning of the world, for in it we are told that Lamech slew beasts with it. Further on, David took a sign from it from Jonathan, as appears in the first book of Kings. Again, as appears from his history, Hercules, the most mighty archer of his time, killed with it, while he was crossing the river, the giant who had robbed him of his wife. Also it was used by the archers who lived in the time of the Trojans. Similarly the book called The Art of War, says that the ancients taught their children to shoot with the bow, hold it in the left hand, and draw it with the right, of which more hereafter.

Download or read book The Archery Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Archery There are Grradgrinds of both sexes who may say that "my boys get enough exercise in doing the chores all the year, and as soon as spring opens they can get it behind the plow and harrow, or, later, in the hay and harvest fields; they are tired enough with the exercise of their work." As to the girls, it maybe said: "The daily routine of the house the sweeping and dusting, the table setting, and the dish-washing, give a plenty of exercise;but if they need any more they can help on washing days, and find a use for all their strength." - We would not say that the ideas implied in these answers are the rule, but that it is far too generally the case that mere work is looked upon as exercise, and that it will at all answer for or accomplish the purpose of exercise as recreation. For exercise to be beneficial it must not only be of a kind unlike the usual daily occupation, but it must have the cooperation of the mind. Mere muscular movement, that is not work, but made solely for exercise, without engaging the mind also, is of very little use. Many years ago the writer lived in the city, and in that portion of it where there were numerous (and very high-priced) schools for young ladies. In these schools a part of the regular programme was the morning and afternoon walk. These girls went out in pairs, the youngest in front and marphalled by two or more teachers.

Kenzo uses the metaphor of the bow and arrow to challenge the practitioner to look deeply into his or her own true nature.
