- Traditional Mongolian Cavalry performing Horseback Archery, in slow motion.
Video Footage Permission obtained by Altan Nergui, owner of Namnaa Archery Club and champion of Mongolian mounted archery of 2019.
The shield used had extra layers and the bow used was light for safety.
Archery is so ancient and integral to Mongolian culture that there is debate amongst historians over which technological advance came first in the region, the bow and arrow or the wheel.
The Mongols lived a nomadic tribal lifestyle and relied on their considerable skill at archery not only for hunting, but also as their main weapon when fighting neighboring tribes or when raiding the rich lands of China, and when faced with the retaliatory expeditions that followed.

There is a LOT OF TRUST between those guys.
And talent.
@@hermitcard4494 practice and hard work... Talent was not the thing that made them like this, it was the effort
That horse doesnt ever flinch while arrows are being shot towards his way. He instead ferociously keeps drivin forward. Pretty cool.
And some wood 😂
@@---qb1bf 😂😂👍🏻
Holy shit they train using themselves! No wonder ghenkis khan almost took over the world. Look how stable they are on the horse, and the confidence that goes into those shots
Dont know if this is historical or not. They are hsing light weight bows that wont be able to kill eachother.
Back then they use 80-120lb bows that can kill people if they missed or go through the shield
@@Jake-dh9qk it's still excellent training though! Allows them to practise on real people. They wouldn't be able to go to such a high poundage lest they hurt the target holder.
@@Jake-dh9qk They may well have used bigger bows back then, but those could be recurve composite bows (typically sinew-wood-horn) and thus are more powerful than their size alone would suggest.
Sorry but they practice siege warfare. Gather a huge army around a city or community and let them surrender.
@@Jake-dh9qk not historical, I would not because I’m the student of the guy shooting 🤣
Japanese archery: we have to be elegant, spiritual, traditional, formal, methodical, thoughtful, philosophical.
Mongolian archery: So we rained arrows from the horses on the enemy and watched them die from afar hahahahahah!!
Wait, isn't kyudutsu diffrrent from kyudo?
@@jonajo9757 Yeah Kyudo essentially was a martial art that originated in the time of peace where the samurai didn't have to go to war. Kyujutsu is the original, more practical martial art that the actual samurai who actually fought in battles, practiced.
Arent samurais also horse archers tho?
@@maiorian4668 Not as numerous or skilled as our steppe guys
@@maiorian4668 Yeah but in comparison to Mongol horse archers and their tactics, the Mongols had an advantage.
Mongolian culture is one of my hyperfixations and this video is a godsend! Lots of love from Spain
There are people posting vacation videos in Greece or being at massive concerts and bragging about what they are doing, and then there is this. A man who has achieved mastery in a skill that few will ever attempt. Reaching this level of skill is more awe inspiring. Incredible.
thank you
It is said that the mongols were trained to only loose their arrows at the precise moment when all four of their horse’s feet were off the ground.
Yes, because that's when the horse is most stable, otherwise the gallops will ruin your shot.
He's doing this nearly perfectly in the video. Incredible
Otherwise the momentum of hooves striking the earth will throw the shot off. Lajos Kassai is another AMAZING archer. ruclips.net/video/NOpOqgotJZc/видео.html ...watch this and you'll understand why Huns and Mongols struck such fear into the hearts of their enemies
@@evanater13 I noticed that too.
Hey! The shooting man loosing the arrows when 2 feets of the horse are in air. Look again
Dude. This guy is non stop squatting in rhythm with the horse's movement. You can see his knee bending constantly, but his upper body is nearly motionless the entire time. Incredible
The Mongols of Chinggiz Khaan's era were trained to ride a horse from near birth. They are literally one with their mounts as horse archery depends on very, very good timing and knowledge of the movements of horses. An arrow was never released unless all four of the horse's hooves were in the air. Otherwise downward momentum would always ruin the shot.
ah no wonder wrestling's such a big sport in Mongolia -- leg & core strength are super important
I'm blown away by how stable they are, I'm glad you put it in slow mo so we can all appreciate just how insanely clean they move. Also kudos for the traditional technique of multiple arrows in hand while shooting, so impressive
I have Mongolian blood from my mum's side, 4 generations back.
I live on the opposite side of the globe and have never been to Mongolia as my ancestors migrated here a century ago. Whenever I watch mongolian ppl there is a stirring in my heart that I cant explain. I hope one day I have a chance to touch the soil of Mongolia❤❤
It takes a lot off bravery to let someone shoot at you while holding a shield
Respect to the Shield Man
i was once an adventureer...until
@@marcellusbrutus3346 I took and arrow in the knee
It also takes a lot of recklessness.
That's why my ancestors built a really really amazing long wall
It didn't work D:
Its insane how this video didn't go viral already
he only has 10k subscribers so
i mean i shared it to help him out
WE NEED TO SHARE IT
I think the channel is trying to minimize deaths from shock and fear
Make a dank meme with this, son.
This is so awesome. I have never seen horseback archery done with actual moving, living targets. It really gives you a feel of how this type of combat was. Though tbh if you couldn't kill the guy you might wanna shoot his horse.
shooting at the horse can slow it down at the very least to stop the person chasing u
You can imagine horses were very valuable at the time! I'm sure warriors would try to kill the rider without killing the horse so they could claim the horse as part of their booty! Many Mongols warriors would own multiple horses and swap between multiple horses when the horses got tired during long battles! As a last resort, obviously killing the horse would be a viable option!
@@tallest4eva was just about to say this
@@tallest4eva if the cavalry that was chasing them was very heavy armored, i don't think they would hesitate to shoot the horse. Other than that, true point.
Shooting at a target that moves with the same speed and direction as you might actually be easier than trying to hit a one being static relative to the ground. Not saying that a I tried it, though. 😀
"a horseless Mongolian is like an eagle without wings" Mongolian saying
i just wanna get out of my quaretine and do horseback archery
horseback archery beginners luck, instead of hitting the target, hit headshot of horse and the rider.
@@MrLanceHeartnet ah yes because it’s that easy
Might want to learn how to spell while you're quarantined.
I’m Mongolian. I can’t wait to go back to my motherland and ride horses 🐎 always wanted to learn archery 🏹
yep，Mongolian horse endurance
l am a kazak
I'm a half Mongolian, half German. But before I didn't know about my ancestors, I was born in Socialism, everybody were Soviets there. Socialism always suppresses national identities of people to control the population better, so sad... But sometimes I was riding horses, and I was so enjoying it, several times I shoot a bow, and I couldn't understand why do I do it easier and with much better and faster results than others? The answer was in my genes, in my blood, from my great parents. Follow your blood. Go ride and shoot arrows, you should love it. You can do it when you want and how you want, be yourself, be free. And teach your children to do it too, and to remember and honor your ancestors, and to stand against Socialism and be free no matter what.
I love you. I want you to be my Mongolian princess.
I am turk and I know archery and horse riding, but horse archery is very hard
As someone who uses a horsebow not on horseback I find this deeply satisfying to look at and also extremely badass and dangerous and I love all of it
You mean like a recurve-type bow? I ONLY collect recurve bows. Light, elegant and powerful. The ones historically used by Mongolian warriors had an average draw weight of 177 lbs or about 80 kilos draw weight
I make tutorials on Mongolian Archery if your interested ruclips.net/video/V3Y6wU2jU7U/видео.html
man ur gonna go viral bro good luck
whos dan carlin
@@dsasd778 He does a podcast called Hardcore History, he had a five part series on the Mongol Empire so a lot of his fans are very interested in the Mongols.
What about the special slow motion effect?
Good music
Mongol or stepp horse archers!!! They were such beasts!
no downvotes thats legendary
lol ur just motivating people to downvote
@@sergeib8840 lol do it
OMG its gonna be 100 likes no dislike
u jinxed it bro
Well, it's 19 dislikes now. But I guess those are coming from 19 horses that are related to the horses in the video...
the horses dont even flinch!! this is so impressive
FAKE! No horse could carry anyone with such massive balls as the shield bearer's! 😉
I'd give more credits to that horse !! the human was sort protected, imagine that archer missed and shot an arrow on the horse's ass....lmao
Caucasians won't understand
@@heybudi id rather not understand something then be a racist like you are
@@heybudi but you do know that there are horsearcher clubs in nearly every "caucasian" country?
The chat comment section are ruined by single racist comment... seriously guys...
Wow those horsemen are amazing, balance, massive skill with the bow, being one with the horse so that the ride is on point, absolutely awesome thank you for sharing the vid from Aotearoa [NZ]
I have dreams about this since I was a small small child. Seriously. Archery is the ultimate full body meditation next to dance.
I have one favorite throwing spear amongst the four spears that I own, and learning to hurl a spear with grace and accuracy is just the same, but there's something more poetic about archery. Have you heard of Kyu-Do? It literally is archery and meditation combined. Reminds me of my old Aikido Sensei's catchphrase; Mushin (no mind).
Mongols Got Talent. Simply brilliant and breathtakingly beautiful.
I hate to be late for practice... Punishment is you are the target all day
If you look closely, the rider waits for all 4 legs of the horse to be in the air at the same time and then releases the arrow.
what is the advantage of doing so?
@@HistoricalWeapons ive read that the "best" arches would wait until all 4 legs of the horse to be in the air to release the shot, so they can aim accurately. I dont see how its possible personally, but i can kind of get it. imagine those archery competitions in olympics, people put their arrows in a penny/quarter sized red dots almost every shot, and i dont see how someones "livelihood and profession and fulltime" job was to be elite archer in an elite military unit in the best known empire at the time, wouldnt be good shot with the bow and knew a thing or two about shit, like my monologue? :D
Not really 🤣 maybe it would help like 1% but it has no use when your horse is galloping 10m/s and you have to shoot your bow 1 arrow per second
Rus : hahahaha what a pathetic look at their horse
Subutai : i am gonna do what's called a pro gamer move
gak kebayang ya ... kuda imut begitu menjelajah ujung asia bahkan ke ujung eropa mungkin kalau ogedei engga almarhum ..
@@subrotoxing8214 taktik mongol di awal awal kemunculan mereka taktik yang tidak dikenal dan out of the box bagi musuh musuh mereka saat itu
Di awal awal pertempuran mereka mengirim detasemen kavaleri ringan untuk maju ke depan,ketika sudah clash dengan detasemen musuh,kavaleri ringan ini segera mundur ke area yang sudah ditentukan oleh komandan mereka. Begitu detasemen musuh masuk area perangkap mereka disergap oleh unit kavaleri berat mongol dengan tombak. Unit musuh yang tersisa dihabisi oleh kavaleri pemanah satu persatu
Mongolians, mongolian horses, mongolian bow, perfect
Greetings from Turkiye to my Mongolian cousins. 🇹🇷🇲🇳
And thus the myth of centaurs was born
Now imagine this but like 20,000 more.. yeah f that!
This was how Mongolians Defeated Russians, Chinese, Koreans, Afghan, Italian, Indian and the list keep going.
Amazing. We were just taken back in time.
thanks man
This is Modu Chanyu Trust Education. Huns, Mongols and Turkics. They are the king of archery at all times..
The archery is great but the horsemanship is phenomenal watch his head it doesn’t move at all
First of all, awesome video. Secondly, crazy guys there, the trust and skills required is immense.Thirdly, one slip, and horse bbq feast in the evening incoming. Btw, am I the only one expecting to hear the weeknd singing often in the beginning of this video? No? "I usually love shooting all alone, this time around bring your horse with you..."
Why women live longer:
The way they carry the arrow in same hand is just too op
Imagine the trust and talent these guy have I would never try this and honestly this my first time seeing horseback archers and before this I never understood it could be done
they used very light bows for the safety of the horses
And less damage to the shield
recurve bows are short but very powerfull, more than a longbow
www.archery360.com/2017/12/20/longbow-vs-recurve-whats-difference/
Adam Formela they are slightly more powerful if same draw weight /length
@@krwawiusz2686 that is total nonsense. A bows draw weight is what determines its power not it's type. And also medieval longbows had some of the heaviest draw weights of all bows.
@@aaronrushton1 Mongolian bows were smaller but had more power than the mighty longbow
This is one of the coolest training exercises I've ever seen. I wanna be the guy with the shield!
Bloody amazing !
'horses were harmed in the making of this video'.
Very skillful, keep up the good work!
This is so badass. No words needed.
this needs to go viral share it
Wow, this is incredible!
This is cool, absolutely insane, but cool.
wow thanks for amazing clear motion of archer... really useful thing u made for animation.
wow this new bannerlord cinematic mode is truly amazing. Beautiful work btw great use of bow and technigues.
the nation of horse and archery! the nation of warriors!
imagine thousands of these dudes coming at you.
This is such an awesome channel. Amazing content.
Just magnificent...thank you
Horse is on autopilot
beautiful video!
so sure are the shooting skills of the mongolians
A beautiful glimpse into a disappearing way of life. I would hate to think that one day out on those planes there will be nothing but buildings and McDonald's. Superb video.
That’s basically jet fighters of Middle Ages
Awesome and crazy trainig.
This video explains why the Mongol empire was so big. What do you even do against that? Ultimate speed and range? Also play video at 2x speed looks awesome with how smooth it is etc.
Mangudais OP.
Haha not OP indeed
You should have put hu totem background score.
인간의 본능을 일깨우는 아름다운 영상~
This is so amazing!!!!!!!
Hermosa práctica e igual de peligrosa claro deben ser muy buenos arqueros,así como tener esos buenos caballos,prácticamente van solos,excelente trabajo,un saludo grande por aquel lado del mundo.
This is how armies were destroyed by this skill while doing the The feign retreat
And that my friends is how (among other things of course) the Mongolian army destroyed just about any army in their path and conquered just about anything they set their sights on. No-one outside of the Mongol Steppe region (and other nearby areas) had ever seen anything like it and were pretty much defenseless against it. Fast, skilled, nimble and very, very deadly.
Don't forget the siege engines. Horse back archery is age old and world wide. The true weapon of the samurai was not the katana but the horse and bow. Native Americans, Celts and many others shot backwards from a moving horse at moving targets. The Turks turned Templar rear guards into pin cushions. Pin cushions that stubbornly continued the march. I imagine many elements were involved in the Mongol destruction of armies.
@@brianpeck4035 yes of course you're right. It was a spectrum of abilities that defined their success in the battlefield for sure.
Nobody was as good at is as the Mongols though. They were more durable, tougher, and more practiced in general based on their culture. Mongolia is sub-zero (down to -30 F) in winter and hot in summer. It's essentially a cold desert that historically included what we now call Siberia--except in summer when it could go up to 80 F. Crazy temp swings--few people have ever had to survive or deal with a cold-to-hot swing of that magnitude. They learned to ride in the saddle as toddlers (true story, some of them still do it today in Mongolia that way), and archery came not long after--also on horseback. Historically, they were all hunters in the steppe b/c they had no other choice but to hunt. No houses, no farms, etc. Only way to get your food on the steppe. But even the women were decent at both riding and archery as they knew they might have to defend their yurts from raiders while the men were gone. And I'm pretty sure the composite bow they invented with sinew slapped on for more draw strength was specific to the Mongols first, or at least the Mongo-Turkic ethnic groups of the time, but definitely not the Japanese, the Celts, or any of the others.@@brianpeck4035
Fantastic video
The winner is always the cameraman
Would be cool to view a normal speed version too
will include in future vid
just click double speed on the tools
Double speed is still to slow! Amazing!
Great videos bro! I'm thinking about getting into horse archery myself (at least the archery side of it) but not sure where to really start. Maybe you could give me some advice?
check out your local horse archery clubs, if not I recommend archery on foot first
anything below 100 million views is injustice for this video
Shield commercial 🛡
Wow!Good horse archery video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Trying to imagine on a shield wall with a thousand of them guys streaming past arrow coming every 15 seconds
That guy holding the target has some serious trust!
liked and subbed!
Pause at 0:54 for the khergit khanate banner
Excellent
Turco-Mongol horse archers where OP asf
mongols are the best
Amazing. I'm a little concerned about the horses, but I trust these guys are professionals, and have respect for these animals.
How steady they are while riding is astounding. Just goes to show how jumping in one spot while shooting doesn't replicate doing it while riding a horse.
they have been doing it their entire lives plus its light bows
this people wouldn't hurt their horses, they're hella valuable in many ways
That’s not how it’s supposed to work, the horse must stop when the rider attacks!
What new tech did they research for this? Is it a new civ bonus for Mandugai?
This is one, amongst many, way Mongolians conquered, ruled, and dominated about HALF of the globe. From all of China, Iall the way to Iran, to Moscow, all the way to mid-Europe (hence: HUNgary). Badasses of history
Impressive
When I first saw this video before started archery I thought this is so cool I want to try it one day. Now that I have started archery, probably not gonna do it.
The most information ever conveyed through social media as of my watching this, the 10th of February 2021. (Correction). The Criterion of all you tube archery videos I have ever seen.
This is random but i love how even though i changed it to 2x speed the music is the exact same as normal speed
Skillful!
Unbelievable!!
Some people has just too much swag.
Fuck YEAH!!!
You'll notice every time the Archer fires al 4 horse hoofs are in the air so as to not affect his shot. Very impressive!
Thats badass
Did you film a wonderful video of Mongolian horse-riding archery?
I want to download it and introduce it on RUclips.
Is it possible?
Amazing :D
legendary
Its like they're floating on the horse
Live fire exercise. Amazing.
Now I know who invented the "Drive By". These guys don't F around boys!
I like the mongols culture.
if you want to see something crazy, go frame by frame and watch how stable their upper body is in the last split seconds of firing.
This is why Turks and Mongols were so strong until 17th century. Rifles became a dominant factor then.
