Taichi and the affect on my Archery
HTML-код

- That was a question of many:
How does Taichi affect archery, or does it at all?
In this video I explain my basic personal view and experience, for now just a few major points. There is so much more, but I might cover that in another video.

Great, thank you! Actually this ist how i Draw my 75# Pound bow right now. I learned the Basis of Combat Tai Chi from master Ding in London. It is all about keeping a stabil structure in the Body, Bones, Joints and limbs aligned in correct Angles to resist any force and pressure without Bildung up unnecessary muscle tension. Rooting also means "screwing" or spiraling yourself into the ground to achieve a stabil stance. The Draw of a heavy bow can consist of spiraling movements and If my Bones And Joints do Not Hurt Afterwards, i know i did it correctly, hahaha
Ah, I like that. Hear but you don’t listen, see but you don’t look. Seeing but not looking can be a mantra for instinctive shooting!
Totally in phase with your form : you transformed my way of shooting thanks to your courses, becoming more natural than the robot I was.
Eternal thanks Armin! 😍😻😎
Applying my meditation has truly been invaluable. It is teaching me that learning is much harder without single-minded focus. And, ironically, applying what one has learned is most successful using no mind at all.
Well that explains why Armin's shot is so fluid! Thank you!!!
One of the best explanational videos ever. Having studied some martial arts over the years one thing that I was taught that has always stuck with me is that any weapon/tool that you use should become a living extension of you own body, so I've always tried to keep that in mind when doing archery. I've always wanted to study taichi to have better breathing control as I agree it helps alot in all sorts of applications in life. Totally agree on the monkey mind also, I know personally that when I try to focus on steps in the shot process I don't shoot as well to when my mind is empty and the internal feeling of the shots is completely different to one another.
This definitely applies to hunters as well. I can't say that everyone uses it, but if you watch people like Gill over at HuntPrimitive you can see it. I know that I myself need to be grounded, and move my entire body in concert in order to shoot well, too.
Wonderful video Armin. It's good to experiment.
I really enjoyed the video and you manage to explain everything. Armin, I think it is great when you talk about your personal perceptions on archery and other martial arts! Thanks a lot for the very inspiring video!
Amazing.
This is taking me back to all my practise of flow and motion from pencak silat.
Very excellent explanation of energy flows.
Amazing video sir. While I have no training in any martial art or taichi (unless owning a crap load of kung fu and samurai films counts haha), I found very quickly when I took archery, how focused I became without even noticing it. My breathing slows, tension eases. Archery for me clears my mind better then anything.
Great instruction. I have learned much in these few minutes now than in a week's worth of archery camp years ago. Thank you, Jedi Master Armin. This is worth a lot for my own archery practice.
Ok, what's it say that I've been writing a book about a Chinese girl who's a kyudoka (turned elite warrior archer with a Manchu bow), practices Tai Chi, aaaaaaaaanndd this video just happens to pop up? Dude, when it comes to archery know-how, stuff I gotta look into and practice for the sake of describing stuff properly and how it fits, it's like "ok is this guy psychic? He reading my mind from across the sea or something?" lol This is awesome, sir. 'Shoulder, elbow, hand.' Gotta remember that, and that thing about how the whole body moves when one limb moves. Genius.
I love the sound like that taichi and archery is magnificent 🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹
Armin 🙏Wow! Thank you so much .
What sense Armin talks, top bloke!
Thanks Armin. I also practice both. I hadn’t tried connecting the two.
What a great video, thank you!
I have always found elements of my tai chi coming into my archery - from the warm-up to the breathing, rooting and wuji stance.
This video has given me yet more insights!
Armin shooting in style.
i love when you make vids like this! .... i really liked the one you did a while back about focus and avoiding emotion/distraction
I took similar lessons from Wing Tsun; centering, stance, plus how to separate bodily parts (the "chu kiu" waist) while still having a full body awareness :)
Firstly, thanks for your great vids Armin, loving them! And as a taichi guy, I'm looking forward to exploring this new archery world. I think I'll be ordering the AF taar takedown bow your recently reviewed ... it looks amazing. Cheers!
I love videos like these. Awesome 😁
insightful, thanks armin.
Its a very interesting point of view.
Especially as a beginner in archery (like me), the whole process is a lot of mind work.
Think about the single steps, concentrate to do them correctly, and to top it all off, exposed to all the external influences.
I think your way have a lot of potential to get it away from the mind, into the body, to form a kind of routine, and have more resources to focus the mind, for the physical body in a highly efficient way.
Excellent! I don't always appreciate your vid's HOWEVER THIS ONE IS SOO HELPFUL AND I AGREE. THANK YOU FOR MAKING AND SHARING THE VID, It is one of your best.
Thank you for this. Makes a lot of sense.
Huh.. I'm a karate-ka and traditional archer. I've seen quite a few of your videos and had no idea you did taichi, but the second you mentioned taichi in this video I just thought aber natürlich 🤷♂️ Looking at your archery now it's just so obvious 😊
Anyone else here trying to learn traditional archery during the pandemic? Gotta say... hasn't been easy. These videos definitely help. Still... I'd kill for tutoring hahaha
I've noticed that a lot of the principles from Wing Chun can be applied to archery as well.
Of course
So I am taking Wing Chun, how do you see that?
Basically any martial art taught properly will support everything in your daily life. That's the meaning of the "DŌ" in Japanese Martial Arts. It takes many years of practice though and depending on your sensei you may never acquire such knowledge and abilities as presented in this video for example. I know at least on dōjō, where they only teach the surface instead of what lies beneath it :/
@Armin - would have liked if you don't only talk about Taichi but mention Martial Arts as a whole. Nice insight though. I also improved my drawing and holding technique through Karate - and many more movements I do are influenced by what I learned through my 13+ years of Karate.
Aikido, Tai Chi, Archery. So true. Root, center, relax move the whole body as one and breath. Flow. Befriend the "Monkey Mind".
thank you for your erudition, master
Just know you learn taichi, very nice point!
Nice, archery naturally empty mind , almost like riding a bicycle or changing gear on a stick shift car or a golf swing after many years of practice and just loving the arrow fly towards the target with a natural flow of the bow in khatra. Simply beautiful motion.
The natural balance of the opposite forces of nature; such as pushing the bow while pulling the draw string. The pierced target reveals the inter connectivity of self and nature.
I look foreword on learning tai chi
Thanks! Very valuable tips.
"Bone work" cool. I immediately felt the difference when I thought "move my skeleton," thanks.
nice bow sir.
Got my mighty Kheshig today, 40#. I'm quite happy with it :)
Excellent, thanks!
thank you for this! What beautiful bow is that you are using?
That was the snake recurve
Yes.
Very cool. Thank you!
Have you ever done a review on a Falco bow from Estonia?
Not yet
3 people don't like flow. May they some day find peace.
Very cool concept, archery is very meditative. What bow are you using in this video?

@@ArminHirmer I knew it! Great video.
Fa Jing, the reason why more seasoned martial arts practitioners do not look muscular. They don’t go “muscle building”. Instead, they focus & train how to trigger the tendon energy.
Not to say they’re skinny. They just don’t go building more muscle than what they already naturally have.
Hey, interesting video. I think i will try it. I have a question, do you know or have you tried mind trigger in archery? It's like when you draw a bow you can only shoot after a feather touch your mouth or like in chinese archery you can't shoot until arrowhead touches your hand. I'm asking because i have serious target panic and at small range this way works and i wonder what's your opinion about this.
What do you mean by target panic? I understand what that term generally means, but what are you feeling?
Never tried it, as my approach is different. But yes I can see that this might help, depending on your style
@@MiaogisTeas It's hard to explain for a person that doesn't have it. It's also different for everyone, for some people it's just anchoring too short but in my case it's couple things like: i have hard time to even get close to my anchor and if get there my bow hand unconsciously goes up and realese is horrible. I know it sounds like something made up but it's real
@@ArminHirmer I tried a lot of things, your videos about target panic helped me in shooting i think that i get better groupings but i must find trick to overcome this fully
@@sebastianmaliszewski9036 not a trick ;) it's a mind set
Actually Yuri Fedin-s SKANF knifethrowing technic is similar to the snake thing. Just it is rather fast but still the movement of the hand comes from the body.
I know, that's why it's my fav style.... still need to practice
Hi Armin, good day,
Which type of Taichi do you practice for archery?
Yang

My Elder Brother was Flexing, He told me he doesn't need to learn a single thing about Archery because he has a Gun, i told him a Fact; the Bulletproof Vest he wears during Work... a Sharp Arrow can Easily Penetrate it, a 40 Pound AliBow can easily do it :|
Yess...
