Since 1978, when Kyudo's first group was created in France, the number of French kyudo members has been increasing. The current group held by CNKyudo (National Committee of Kyudo) was born in 2017 after the union of the two main groups of Kyudo. We now have 5 territorial colleges for 60 clubs. Every year, more than 50 events take place at national and territorial level. An average of 700 members divided into 45% women and 55% men from 12 to 81 years.
