Dynamic Archery is a martial discipline that develops the ability to deliver accurate arrows rapidly under time pressure, integrating speed, movement, rhythm, awareness, and composure into a unified practice. Whether pursued for personal development, traditional archery, horseback archery, or competition, it provides a clear and measurable pathway for growth.

​

Dynamic Archery Martial Arts International (DAMAI) exists to advance and administer Dynamic Archery worldwide. At the heart of the system are the Dynamic Archery Speed Trials (DASTs), a standardized framework used for training, grading, competition, and ranking. Through the DASTs, archers can measure their progress, pursue internationally recognized grades, and compare results within a growing global community.

​

DAMAI proudly acknowledges Master Kassai Lajos, the father of modern Equestrian Archery, whose work directly inspired the foundations of DAMAI. The 9-round structure of the DASTs, the 90 cm three-zone target, and the DAMAI Grading System all trace their origins to the traditions established by Master Kassai and now known as the Original Kassai System. By building upon these proven foundations, DAMAI provides a dedicated international home for the continued evolution of Dynamic Archery as its own martial art, sport, and pathway of personal development.
