Everything is in slow motion, when the arrow is released, the video is in slow motion.
I cannot express how beautiful this is.
Elegant…nice seikitai….thank you for sharing
My favorite archery tutorial. beautiful performance and so well captured. thank you!
So beautiful and graceful. I love how the archer becomes part of the bow. The execution is flawless
beautiful
Une tres belle video d un bel art martial!
I truly believe that only the Japanese could make archery so elegant and meaningful
Nicely done
Very soothing.
Just in case anyone doesn’t really care, this comment was intended for the archery nerds. If you’re not bothered about technicalities then don’t worry about this!
This is one of the better kyudo forms I’ve seen demonstrated. Usually they hold the arrow for about 5 seconds, but this was something that’s been relinquished by many other forms of traditional archery due to the negative effect of doing so - when one holds for so long, the muscles stiffen rather than being loose, and this causes the arms to shake, they then fatigue, and this fatigue creates a collapsing or plucked release as well as lots of shake. Your mind is also affected by the strain of the tensed muscles.
Proper release time has been demonstrated here where she doesn’t actually stop drawing her arrow, in the last moments she is still drawing so so slightly that a general viewer wouldn’t notice, but this has allowed her to have an excellent expanding release, which is straight, and allows the arrow to fly straight. I’ve seen a LOT of 3rd, 4th, 5th+ dan kyudokai who are ingrained with the bad habit of holding for 5 or so seconds at the end of the draw, and they begin to shake a lot for no good reason apart from the fact that that’s what they’ve learnt over decades or more. This may simply be due to tradition, but the effect is generally a placebo feeling of calmness - the stiffening of the muscles affects a lot of the true intuition that should occur during archery; if a slow process is required for its calming effect, then simply drawing the arrow over a longer period of time establishes both this and the expanding, non-stop release.
When I properly get into kyudo style archery (awaiting my Japanese bow atm) I will hopefully practise the same techniques, but with a non-stop, slow, expanding release.
Thanks for the great info. Made watching her more interesting.
Off to a bad start, I guess, giving a lengthy criticism over something you've never actually done. Ah, the internet.
I think the idea is to develop one's spirit before releasing and firing the shot (called hanare), after which the releasing arm is extended to it's maximum and the position held even after the arrow hits, to continue one's remaining spirit toward the target. I'm pretty new to Kyudo myself--I've only been training for a few months, but that's part of the 8 steps (shaho hassetsu) and it's the first thing they taught us. You can spend months practicing those steps before even touching an actual bow in a formal dojo. Some steps even have a certain number of breaths one must take in between movements. Holding for several seconds is normal. I've noticed shaking occurs when one uses a bow weight that is too high for their current level of strength, which gradually increases as one practices and develops their shoulder muscles. I first fired a 12kg bow and had shaking. I moved to a 6kg bow we found in the dojo and I do not shake anymore. There's a lot more to Kyudo than meets the eye and it's not for everyone as hitting the target isn't the goal, but instead the result of correct form. It's not for everyone, so I'd recommend trying a class out before investing in a yumi (bow)

The flawless form school is to flight an invisible arrow with a conceptual bow.
Her: what are you training for
Me: It’s complicated

the main thing is the pose

How about the target? Or is the accuracy immaterial?
The target ultimately is inside yourself.
As for the physical arrow catcher down range, if you've done your form properly, you will hit. It's interesting to see, but you can pretty repeatedly hit the same area of the Mato (Target) so long as you're consistent.

Buena suerte intentando usar uno montando a caballo
กว่าจะยิงได้ โดนฝ่ายตรงข้ามยิงตายไป3 รอบละมั้ง😆
robots lol, become a robot with a drill in order to shoot and bow and arrow lol.
Clueless.
Looks like NPC
Music is not important for Kyudo. I want to hear Tsurune sound.
Ok, in all these movies you never see the target, I think it's all theatrical scene.
its not about hitting the target
It is about hitting the target, but this technique will allow you to hit the target. One who is well versed in archery will understand that her technique provides greater accuracy and better arrow flight. 15+ years traditional archer, I can tell she’s fired an excellent shot without looking at the target. Now it all just depends on where she’s pointing. She will hit what she’s pointing at.
@@BibtheChib Kyudo is not like sport archery. Its more about meditation. Being mindfull about your form. Being mindfull about your emotions when you hit or miss. So ya it less about hitting a target even tho on the surface it seems like the main objective
@@owenthomas9863 it might be less about hitting a target, but it is still about hitting a target among other factors
all of that just to fling an arrow... pointless.
its a martial art not just archery its normal to do all of that. That the part of japanese culture.
Not living in the moment is pointless, make the move about the move.
@@shaundouglas2057 Incomprehensible Japanese obsessions with minutiae. Have they ever heard of the Law of Diminishing Returns? Defeats the purpose for the bow, the arrow and the shooter LOL
@@WhiteDragon689 Your missing the point with this form of archery, how many times have you been to an archery field and seen people on the line shooting but are not 100% focused on the task at hand, their mind is some place else instead of focusing on what they are currently doing. As a traditional archer myself i practice on the line for hunting and obviously shooting as demontrated here for that purpose would not be practicle. Kyudo is a form of meditation your not thinking ahead, not anticipating outcomes, or even something you may have gotten wrong as your preparing to loose the arrow your not even thinking about hitting the target until the last instance of release. 100% focused upon what you are doing at that particular moment and to master this would or should translate to anything else you would do in life. When i shoot i am or try to have this frame of mind, when i exercise, train my students at my hema school, at work, when i eat, go for a walk, even taking a shit, i am not or trying not to be some place else but at the only place that really matters, where all my power is, the present.
Kyudo is one way to help one learn or should i say relearn for what is for most of us a very difficult path, and when one does master this you'll be amazed at how well you can do things.
@@shaundouglas2057 LOL no I have NOT!. The purpose for a bow and arrow is to fling the arrow at a target and hopefully hit it. Hopefully to kill an animal to eat or for sport. The most efficient way to do this successfully is the best and correct point of the activity. Any thing else is pointless and a waste of time. The Japanese with their obsessions with trivialities have taken this to a new level of ridiculousness. Its goal seems to not hit the target efficiently or even consistently. It is interesting to watch one time but after that is just mindless repetitiveness with no room for change or real objective other than to do it in the hardest way possible. But I suppose all must decide how to waste their valuable time at a mindless pursuit LOL.
It's beautiful but not practical in real battle. It's similar to traditional martial arts loosing a battle to MMA. Too long bows to control easily and actual distance and power is so short and weak to be effective.
Kyudo or kyudo bows are not for battle, it's purpose is more of a spiritual thing, if you want war archery you should check out kyujutsu and actual Japanese war bows.
Here's an article on that actually.
"Wakyuu (和弓) - The Japanese Bow" on Gunbai.
You can also look up kyujutsu on RUclips.

Yes. The thing I see different is how things are twist without true meaning? or purpose?. I once see how they decide best carpenter by who can use one tool, I mean one tool! I can't recall the name of that tool but it looked silly. I just don't see m-16 is an art. Again, I don't think bow was invented for beauty.
