Intuitive Archery |
Taught by Master David Ruff
Olympic-level bowman Traditional Longbow Archery As its name implies, the martial arts school of Intuitive Archery teaches the use of the bow. It is an “internal” school, meaning that it concentrates on harnessing the flow of one’s life force to achieve complete control over oneself — and since the bow is an extension of the self, this control enables masters of the school to perform remarkable feats of archery. But such feats are secondary to the purpose of the school, which is introspective in nature: its deepest teachings emphasize that perfecting one’s skill is simply a metaphor for the journey towards enlightenment - Three Arrows for the King: The Archers Guide, Jason Parent & Neal Levin Intuitive Archery is often taught as a meditative martial art for the release of tension and stress. |
