6 Minute Friday: Khatra and Double Release

[@CoachBjarne]

Details like these, are clearly the difference between deeper understanding of the art and the knowledge from the early beginning.

[@skulectibi]

I was recovering from a spinal fracture in spring 2018. It was then that I found your youtube videos, which had a great impact on me. I had never heard of thumb draw archery before. As I recovered, it became my new hobby that I can learn for a lifetime. Thank you Armin 🙏

[@ambidextrousarchery]

FANTASTIC! 1) The Nökhör, I love it! 2) Your most passionate online teaching is found in these videos. They are platinum. 3) Someday, I will fly out for courses. Armin, thank you for this video👍👍

[@MrOrigamiPants]

This brings together a lot into one synoptic whole. Integrating the motions, so they come from the core and radiate out to the extremities, is a much-needed antidote to the tendency to focus on what the fingers and hands are doing. Very helpful, thanks!

[@johncuthbertson2565]

The most valuable thing in the world.. Knowledge. 🙏 I naturally am a string twister.

[@ianbruce6515]

Excellent description! It just feels so 'right' when you do this! I don't always achieve it--but I feel it when it happens. I first got this feeling when practicing Western style instinctive shooting. It's so natural and 'right'. It makes archery feel more meditative and 'Zen'. Good for the spirit

[@singharchery3043]

Absolutely Correct Armin... 😊 .. 99% of people on internet showing their Archery skill of Khatra are actually foing a Fake Khatra or wrong method of khatra. No need to show Khatra if you do not practice it or do not know the correct method of doing it., apart learning it. Khatra may look fsacinating to Traditional Archery Lovers, but doing it witbout proper method or in a wr9ng way can ruin your normal Archery also. As Khatra is all about the co-ordination , milisecond release and movement of bow hand. With perfect timing .. that makes a huge difference in correctly doing it.Logically ..what isbthe use of un necessary movement while arrow has already passed by your Bow arrow pass area.

Here is a man who knows what he's talking about! 👍

[@lebondave4377]

Martial arts are the base, thank you Armin!❤

[@billwilliams5965]

Armin: Thanks for the video relating this subject. Worked with the technique today and thing are coming together. Thanks Bill

[@theworldofcronis]

Great video and explanation, you make it sound so easy and it's easy to learn from you.

[@くまかい-q7k]

thank you for producing videos that are so easy to understand. Thank you so much this helps alot.

[@MichaelJones-ti9fx]

Excellent information. Thank you.

[@jfbock7512]

Armin, Thanks for this reminder of fundamentals, delivered with a touch of humour (for all those who invented khatra in 2023😂). I keep referring to your old videos and look forward to joining your advanced course.

[@bethearrow675]

Figuring it out yourself. That's how I found out about this little bit of info. Good stuff as always Armin!

[@sebastiansolidwork8804]

Thanks for the Tai-Chi impressions. As a practitioner I can relate to them.

티셔츠 너무 귀여워요 archery I love your T-shirt

[@Leverguns50]

I’m glad to see this video, I always enjoy your perspective.

[@matthewparsons4955]

Voice of experience....... ;-)

[@taahiresau2523]

what you have said are in the manuscripts too, your old video's on this are still applicable, still reference then till this day.

[@roricam]

Thank you for this Arnim. Very useful advice. Or should I say very "handy".

[@ianhathaway602]

Thanks Armin! It's a great pleasure whenever you make videos like this. Will think about it while I shoot today :)

[@tiobi6633]

Oh, we got a double 3 Minute Friday for double release. 😉 Hehe, liked this one. AND I just realized, I'm actually doing Half-Double Release. 😆 Thank you very much for showing, catch you in the next one 🙂

[@drmanleyk]

Thank you, Armin! I have been working on khatra for a while now. I never thought of initiating my release from the other hand

[@laurentmeiller5171]

it's quite the same dynamic than the push-pull with longbows, the difference is the shoulder action in your demonstration sure it's more efficient, matter of kinetic energy !

[@dermotshaw5722]

I struggle with the timing but when I get it right the grouping is great. I shall practice this advice tomorrow

[@chriss3913]

Nice new presentation sir, in the age of fast and short shots. If I may suggest a fixed focus point so your camera isn't focusing on your nice cedar hedge.

[@ArminHirmer]

moving too much in front of camera, auto focus needs to work :)

[@crazyhandyman2668]

thank you

[@Zuzyandr]

Oh, interesting topic, I'm learning traditional archery (and archery at all) only for one year, but our instructors haven't any basis on it and they're all self-taught with a some years of experience. I trying to do khatra, but it's hard to understand what I doing and how right is it. It's very natural for me now, at least. I think, I need to campture my shots on video to analyze my shooting technique.

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Look at Armin's older videos about "simple khatra"... Some about body structure. I have martial arts background so I was always using whole body mechanics since I started archery but got all the archery versions, the details from Armin, Mihai, and "A shot from the heart" video. I picked what works for me from those sources, Jeet Kune Do style.

[@jedgurley]

Very useful,, appreciate the information !

[@jedgurley]

Took martial arts for over two years, sword, duel stick hapkido , but when they wanted to use bows,, it was not good, they had very old metal bows, it was deffinently a no go.. safety and knowledge,, if they were knowledgeable they wouldn't have used metal bows, so what I am saying is, it's whole package deal, complete knowledge of every aspect of the art or form, skills,!

[@danielruprecht8932]

I needed this 👍🎯😎

[@mikevoglmeier9289]

Superb!

[@nappinglunarc.8312]

Awesome! I once learned aikido and I never thought I could apply it to archery! I need to test some of the few moves I remember! I don't know if I can get a hint.

[@musicaremcasa7628]

nice video! will watch the prior on khatra!

[@BogensportBoerdeland]

GREAT!!!👍👍👍👍👍

[@TakalBrothers]

Awesome! Thank you.

[@DobromirManchev]

Very nice bow! I miss shooting...

[@pyramid_scheme_termination3655]

i never do an intentional motion with bow hand. i just use a little torque

[@bc7200]

Thank you Armin for this video! Could you please show this tehnic with Mediterranean release?

[@Face-bb5ix]

All these recent Khatra videos make me think if I am doing something wrong or not... I'm not thinking about or consciously doing that bow-hand release, double release, torque or string twist or whatever. For me, it is one fluid motion where the tension and all movements come naturally, as if it can't be done differently, anyway. I think I am doing all of these things in small doses. The terms for these techniques I only got from videos like yours, and if I really concentrate on getting one of them "right", I mostly fail and ruin my shots. Could it be that different body shapes or even different mental types of people have different "natural" movements when it comes to the "right" archery technique for them?

[@Owlz_Talon]

Love it!

[@vincentlesconnec8185]

Ty for this new 6 minutes friday, i was waiting for your new advices. 😘At this moment i m a very confused by anchor point on face or release point 🤔🤔

[@aapisiharper5023]

I want to know what forms are good to practice now that will help with creating better archery form.

[@danieljones7241]

Yep. Far too many"archery experts" on KZbin who have only been shooting for a couple of years and who themselves learned from KZbin. Armin has the years of experience and practice behind his teaching.

[@ambidextrousarchery]

🙇🏻‍♂️

[@ArminHirmer]

grazie

[@philschneeg]

Do you have a link for that video your talking about so I can watch it 37 times?

[@leechoii4735]

Is khatra effective when shooting long distance compare to no-khatrA?

[@ArminHirmer]

yes

[@leechoii4735]

@@ArminHirmer thank ou.i will start training with it

[@danielruprecht8932]

"Shoulder , elbow , hand"... I'm going to tape it to the mirror above my bathroom sink 😁

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Start from ground to hips to shoulder. Armin teaches full body mechanics as well... See his previous videos for more aspects.

[@dimitargeorgiev9248]

Where can one get glove like that? I dont like shooting with ring but a glove can definitely help. Thanks!

[@ArminHirmer]

this one is from koreanbow.com

[@mickjenner6697]

Can you use a snake bow please These wonderful looking bows you use make me want to spend money I don't have , Help a brother out 😢😂 pleeaasse

[@ericbleas4376]

Remettre les choses à leur juste place. Super et merci. Salut et fraternité

[@LaskerEmanuelEVE]

The course is through Paetron? How does it work exactly (is this a different thing then the shoot footage review?)

[@ArminHirmer]

it is a video coaching on pattern, you send weekly your videos and I tell you my opinion

[@LaskerEmanuelEVE]

I got the bow hand driven double release working today, felt great, thank you for this@@ArminHirmer

[@shaunchng65]

Khatra action seems very similar to slingshot

[@UncleDanBand64]

Wax on wax off Danielson😂

[@SuperArdly]

Matching arrows dont need khatra right?

[@ArminHirmer]

try and find out, Khatra has more benefits to it

[@沙漠-v5d]

丹田都出来了，可以可以，有文化！

[@timothyfontenot4529]

Love the Boe but it was noisy I could hear it I have many but not that style got have 1 like it thanks

[@SuperBigsupa]

Kharta Again??? Lol. Double release sounds like 2 gals and a lucky guy! Oh Armin, you complete my day! like a Happy End……ing😜🍻🙏💯

[@richartist40]

Too many clowns out there now ...Makes it harder for beginners to find quality instruction but maybe that is the masters mopping the floor for 3 months test in the internet age? ;-)

[@jaybay9595]

These new supposed archery experts need to shut up with the term double release it's not double release its khatra plain and simple, keep the new term buried in the dirt where it belongs I'd much prefer the original proper term of khatra as it's been said and done for centuries dont ruin archery with these un needed new pathetic term names...

[@jaybay9595]

We all love you armin you are a true archery master you make everything more easy to understand in how to do different releases different exercises to help with archery and I love how you keep everything as traditional as possible even in the terminology that you use and has been used for centuries and more ☯️❤🏹
