    弓道部のだった頃の先生曰く、
    1 足踏み(あしぶみ)Ashibumi
    .2 胴造り(どうづくり)Dodtukuri
    3 弓構え(ゆがまえ)Yugamae
    4 打起し(うちおこし)Utiokoshi
    5 引分け(ひきわけ)Hikiwake

    ↑射法八節の六・七にあたる「会」「離れ」は生者必滅会者定離からきていて、時に人は放たれた矢の如く離れ離れてしまうのが運命だそうです。

    I know in many areas of Japanese culture presence and precision is key through the principle of kaizen. It is with that preface that I both humbly and genuinely ask: why are they so inaccurate? 😅
    I expected a lot more dead center bullseyes.
    Knowing what I know about Japan, its culture and its people, this must be faaaaar harder than it looks.
    I would very much appreciate if someone took the time to explain the inaccuracy portrayed here to me within the greater context of the discipline of kyudo.
    Thank you very much.

  • @emptymindfilms
    @emptymindfilms  11 лет назад +4

    Iakshwadeep is correct - it takes a few months of lessons before you usually handle a bow and many months after before you may need to buy one... a bamboo bow requires tender care so you will start with fiberglass or carbon fiber. I suggest kyudo.com, website of Sensei Dan de Prospero - click on Asahi, which is the main Japanese supplier.

    • @rodparsons521
      @rodparsons521 6 лет назад

      Shooting by a person manipulating a simple mechanical device has the possibility of containing a meditative or contemplative element. This is perhaps most immediately apparent in instinctive shooting with unsophisticated equipment where the mental process can more obviously be seen to have a prominent role in aiming and co-ordination than is often the case where technical fixes are often seen to be the only solution.
      It is not necessary to subscribe to the regimentation of the Kyudo dojo system to realise this through archery unless that course of action appeals to you.
      Bows are drawn, loosed or shot. Guns are fired or shot (a term borrowed from archery).

    I enjoy many things about Japanese life, art and craftsmanship. What I don't enjoy is the hoopla. L.L. Bean said it well many decades ago: "We sell steak not sizzle." I don't care about what happens before or after the arrow release, or how one looks or dresses while shooting. Or the hype about the entire experience. All I care about is the shot and what the arrow does. If people really wanted to write about something, that is the critical thing. IMHO, of course.

    • @emptymindfilms
      @emptymindfilms  5 лет назад +1

      The arrow hitting the target has not been the "the critical thing" in over 200 years. Same as the sword's cutting power aginst a person is not critical anymore. Kenjutsu and Kyujutsu became Kendo and Kyudo... archery stopped being a means to kill and became a way to develop character. All Japanese martial arts developed this way after 1870. This put the emphasis on the journey or path rather than victory. If you want victory then you are talking about competition archery which is different. In traditional Kyudo there is no "Hoopla" or "Hype' as you put it, but an art that has been paired down to its essence. I know Kyudo masters who never miss the target but insist they have not attained a high level such as in this clip from the same movie - ruclips.net/video/Rh-ohspuCmE/видео.html

  • @lakshwadeep
    @lakshwadeep 11 лет назад +1

    This is kyudo. Since you're from the US, you should look for any dojos in your state. Unfortunately, it is still not nearly as widespread as other martial arts. I should say that you shouldn't try to buy anything right now since you really need a teacher when starting out. The bow (yumi) and glove (yugake) alone will cost many hundreds of dollars, and beginners always start out by first learning the proper movements and then gradually advance to a real bow.

      @punkrockviking 5 лет назад

      When you shoot off the right side of the bow and use thumb release, the arrow is essentially pinned to the bow, it's not going to fall off your hand. That's why it's such a useful release for mounted archery. You can jump around or turn the bow sideways and the arrow wont move at all!

      It is about ranking. Senior archers above 5th dan onwards wear the black kimono top and hakama. Those testing from 1st to 5th dan, archers wear white gi top and black / navy blue hakama. But usually in daily practice which doesn't require formal etiquette observance, it doesn't matter which dan the archer is ranked - they wear white gi top + hakama.

      @ninjafruitchilled 7 лет назад

      You mean is it difficult, in terms of muscle strength? Well sure, to some degree, but at the full draw position the weight of the bow should be largely taken up by the bone alignment. You don't hold it with your muscles. But then the real work does begin, because to release a good arrow you need to expand your joints outward from this position, taking up the weight in the muscles, until a clean release occurs. This part takes a good amount of strength, though perhaps not in the muscles that you would expect. And a lot of core strength is needed to hold the body in good alignment.

    • @JuandiegoFA
      @JuandiegoFA 9 лет назад +3

      Andrew Wilson The thumb release is common in traditional asian styles. There is evidence that in ancient times Japanese also used pinch release and then adapted the Mongolian style together with horseback archery in times of the Mongolian Empire. It is particular that instead of using a thumb ring they devised the thumb cap attached to a glove. This variation was born from the Toshiya competition where it was required to draw very strong bows and shoot thousands of arrows consecutively (record was 13,053 arrows in 24 hours, across a 120 meter long but low ceiling hall), rather than combat or horse back archery. You wouldn't be able to ride a horse or wield other weapons with this hard-thumbed gloves. But of course you already know everything and I and I am just wasting my time sharing with you.

    • @andrewwilson803

      It's not about the equipment. It isn't even really about sending arrows to targets, though that's often a side effect. However, I would not recommend this as a path for Westerners - try a meditation class at your local gym instead. If you persist, you will have some insight into what Kyudo is about.

    下鴨神社歩射ですね
    鏑矢ではなくて蟇目矢です
    鏑矢は戦場で使う戦いの合図用
    蟇目矢は邪を払う神事用
    外国の方の方が夢中になる日本古来の儀式は続けて欲しいですね
    その為には我々はお金を払って維持してもらわないと

    Six years passed and the issue still remains. Kyudo is NOT archery. This its way to meditate.

      This is archery. The act of an arrow being flung through the air by means of a bow is archery, no matter how you cut it.
      I can appreciate a tradition or a method as such, but you can't dismiss that this is archery.

      Twenty After 4 Sorry kid. You got it wrong. Arrow should be fired with the intention to hit the target. That's the purpose and philosophy of archery, no matter how you cut it.

      Burboss Are we arguing the same thing here? Yes, that is archery, as displayed in this video. What is your confusion here?
      Fyi, I am in my 30's, try not to assume, it makes an ass of you and me. Mostly you.

      Twenty After 4 Well, when I was your age, I hunted with a recurve bow. The idea was to bring some venison back home.See my point? But if you just wanna play mental games and have lots of time on your hands - fine. Just don't call it "archery". Lots of folks like me just won't get it ;)

      Burboss You are seemingly generalizing "archery" as a form of hunting, when in fact it goes much deeper than that. It can display skill, concentration and experience. It can be a game, a pastime or a competitive sport. It is also a weapon that was once used on humans in war. So, not so much just a way to bring venison home.
      Your original statement was about Kyudo, and how it was a form of meditation and not archery. It is in fact archery, simply put, it is a form of Japanese archery. Weather or not you personally see it as a type of meditation doesn't detour it from the fact that it IS a form of archery.
