Did either Kyudoka pass?

My sensei is the 2nd in the UK group, Mike Cundy Sensei, Renshi 5 dan. Has been teaching me since 2008

why do they take such a long time to shoot? Is there a version of Japanese archery that focuses more on shooting and less on the slow movements and such?

見事な体配と礼射ですね!三人の呼吸とリズムが乱れず、的中で場を生かしている。観ている人達は、幸せそうだと思います!

Finally I can find this videos, That sport is so beautiful. I´m stay in calm.

Bu okçuluk yarışması degil bu sabır yarışmasıdır))

Magnifique

会が高い

I know... you came from *TSURUNE* ;)

Aswome to see satake sensei

素晴らしい、

The discipline and precision is staggering! Thankyou for this :-)

промазали.

you can see the different timing of the group: taikai - not shinsa

Sakiyama Sensei , introduced me with 10 intensive private lessons, while I was in Naha...my first month of practice , and almost 1000 arrows fired, my life has irrevocably changed forever....my karate and kobudo improved . The way of the Bow....wow!

I dont think people are supposed to cheer and clap during a kyudo session.....it destroys the mushin spirit.

Until I read the comments I thought the one with blue pants was a little old man lol

It is because life has no goal, it is a process. And so is Kyudo.

綺麗

Thanks.

When shooting with the Japanese kimono (Wafuku), in order not to ruin it and it does not interfere with the shot, men take off the sleeve of his left arm. The women instead use a ribbon to tie the sleeves.

Why did the archer in back tie a white sash around their shoulders? It didn't look like their robe interfered all that much.

It was just on hit/miss. In some other competition there are also a score based on sharei performance.

Hi, How do the team get the score? is ti based just on hit/miss? or is the sharei performance scored too?, thanks

I started watching this video at morning, and the first arrow was throwed at evening.

Quem veio aqui ver 3 japas atirar flechas e acabou vendo o ritual do chá, dá joinha!

It's not about hitting the target, it's about practicing the mind, the target is not important.

After such a ritual I would expect their aim is perfect.. but they don't show the targets T_T!

Second Sensei He is the BEST, So clam and empty mine.

Cause this isn't archery; it's meditation.

Serene and beautiful.thank you for the video.

porra... que puta de seca! Estes eram bons para entrarem num filme de arqueiros medievais realizado pelo Manuel de Oliveira...

Maybe cause shooting an arrow ain't primary objective of kyudo. :)

so was your birth

Are you referring to your post?

who's in a hurry? people dont complain about how long it takes a golfer to set up and wack a golfball to the green.

i am surprised photography is allowed

I'm not sure, but there is a specific balance to the limbs. It's possible for one limb to be strong and the other to be weak (relatively), or the grip area itself could be weak (this leads to a more semi-circular shape). I should mention that they aren't actually separate limbs. Search for "Jaap Koppedrayer" on youtube. I went to one of his bow-making seminars, and the bow is made of full length slats set to a very specific curvature.

I suppose a clouded mind would think negatively of that, yes?

Sehr ausdrucksvoll! Nice Expression!

This demonstration is a full formal offering in the presence of deity. Same as drinking a cup of tea takes long time in Sado.

ur grammer is poor... maybe when you become more intelligent you can post comments? hmm?

6 mins 30 secs to shoot an arrow (_ _")

OSU!

satake..? where are the chosokabe? :P

It really is a 'martial art'; the way the Sensei moves his feet and body is like a kata - maybe is a kata in Kyudo...I haven't seen much before, I am a Western archer. I would love to find out more about Kyudo and the spritual side of the art. The Sensei's muscularity for such a senior gentleman is amazing.

I have a question, Does the Yumi´s limbs have equal power down and up from the arrowpoint, or is the upper limb stronger?

beautiful! :)

Anyone notice how toned his arm is?

it looks like he moon walked further back
