Good start. Equal balance on balls of feet. Shoulders down flat. Elbows out after loading the arrow like hugging a tree. Which sets you up lift the bow and arrow straight up from the knee in a scooping motion. Now the tricky part of many tricky parts. Shoulders down Tenouchi established raise the bow and arrow. No need to pull with the right draw hand. the right wrist is at your forehead above your right eyebrow. The push push push the bow away loads the bow weight. [using the back naturally]. Breath goes down. Right elbow pointing back back back. A bit of arrow twist as the arrow comes down to the side of the mouth. Pushing with the bow hand out the index finger all the while. Some where in there the shot will fall. It is important to understand the long riser of the yumi is the reason for its extraordinary smoothness. I hope this helps:) I
Was that one of the bamboo ones from Sarmat Archery? I've not shot one of those before, but I think you could do with more torque, the bow should flip around after the shot.
this was product of Japp who makes traditional Yumi bow here i U.S. i know about the torque. but with lack of experience, it's not easy as it looks. ^_^;;
1- Your stance: watch your feet 2- The upper body should be straight and leaning to the front of your chest a little bit 3- The tip of the arrow shoul be straight facing the target 4- Your Khatra has to be twisting the wrist to the left. Avoid rocking the bow 5- Forget all chinese war technics when shooting a Yumi
thanks. this Yumi is not mine. it's my friend, William's bow. maker is Jaap Koppedrayer. this web has his contact e-mail. they say you need to contact him directly. www.cinnabarbow.com/marinerbows/jaap.html
@@iyoo1 I'm not an expert either but I know a few things Ash is a great wood for bows even in its own, can resist tension and compression Sarmat makes laminated bows,they have bows with fiberglass laminate but these are expensive, their other type are Bamboo laminated which are cheaper .As I said they sandwich ash between bamboo, the ash propably gives lot of strength to the bow since it is a great bow wood, elastic and strong
Way to many rituals surrounding this. It is a Bow like the english longbow, similar hard to learn to shoot. What i do find fascinating were those silk sheets for arrow protection of the samurais back. Used while riding a horse.
thanks for sharing. i have seen those silk cape on tv before. bery interesting, but i wonder if they would get the same protection benefits if the arrow used was heavy enough.

Sarmat makes Japanese bows but up to 70~ inches and not in the traditional way ( they sandwich ash between bamboo)
@@georgepats1168 thank you for great info.

You cannot have proper technique without a kyudo glove.

@@iyoo1 probably, since it is acting like a parachute that didnt open. Either way better to have it an not need it. it is silk after all:)
