[@mageblack1434]

When I was taught archery my instructor made a point- if you can't draw, hold and fire accurately then won't be able to arch quickly. It's training to teach yourself patience, and to get yourself conditioned for actually using a bow in a real scenario. You must always wait to loose an arrow, otherwise your more likely to miss.

[@panzerlieb]

Ok what you are watching is a meditative martial art known as Kyudo. It’s not about how fast it’s performed or even if you hit the target accurately. It’s about control and how perfectly you perform the movements. ETA: this was done very well

[@tak_ita]

There is an organization called "Kyudo Police" in Japan, which warns against even the slightest mistakes. I am one of them, and in this video, ①the process called"Daisan" is ignored. ②The length of the arrow is shorter than the physique of the shooter. I will point out. Sorry,it's joke. However, the two points I pointed out are true. If you incorporate "Daisan", the movement of pulling the bow will be stable. If you make the arrow a little longer, you can easily keep it pulled and aim easily, and the trajectory of the arrow will be stable.

[@KKIcons]

I am learning, so this is helpful to think about. It will help me to remember, to understand why daisan helps. I am self taught but I hope to go to a kyudo workshop when they have one in my area.

[@rocketjumper5419]

Fun fact: These bows are made in a way that makes them extremely durable. So durable infact that there are people in Japan who've been using the same bow that they have started training with. A lot of the time these bows are custom made and quite expensive.

So wait is it called the long bow because it is long or because it shoots at long distance target? Or because it took so long to draw?

[@BibtheChib]

I think because the bow is long, however they're supposedly designed for ease of shooting at longer distances, they will be more accurate at long distance than shorter bows, so maybe both. Third point is because this man 100% Zen and ascended to a higher domain before releasing the arrow. Never seen someone draw for such a long time!

[@Kim-id8qt]

@@BibtheChib it's just Japanese had no good trees to make bow. So they made Looong bows to make up for. And it's so hard to treat and low damage and distance than other bows. It also had evidence in japanese books and korean-japanese war in 1592.

Actually they’re not practical at all. These are one of the more difficult bows to get good performance out of. Hence the practice of Kyudo in the first place. The yumi required a lot of practice to get used to the peculiar way they work.

I am Japanese, but it is very interesting to read the individual comments, which show that Westerners and Easterners have very different ideas about bows. The Orient has a tradition of observing the archer's personality perfection through archery. Japanese archery fires quickly during hunting and war, and operates slowly during rituals and spiritual training.The archers in this video have been practicing Japanese archery for at least three years.

Then why were they used over any other bow e.g: short recurves

[@ironlungthe3rd]

@@salfordshan3545 I can't speak for why this particular style of Japanese longbow was used over short bows, but the traditional English longbow for example was made mandatory in 1515 by Henry the 8th, because they had a longer range and armour peircing capability but it was a detriment to everyone, The king made it mandatory for even children the age of 11 upward to train daily with them, in the early 2000s archeologists found that they had a physical deformity to their leading shoulder because of how much pressure they would have to exert on the bow, I guess it just depended on the technology of the day, and the capability and availablity of the weapon.

[@salfordshan3545]

@@ironlungthe3rd thanks 👍

[@jonajo9757]

@@ironlungthe3rd From what I know from studying Asiatic bows and their functionality compared to the typical European longbow is that they're able to accelerate an arrow faster than a longbow of the same draw length. That, and the thumb draw providing more power stroke. I'm not sure about this one, but Yumi can reach draw weights in the hundreds and beyond. There's one replica of some 10th century(?) Yumi which had a draw weight of 110lbs, and a record of an Edo Period bow that had a 196lbs draw weight, though from what I could recall is that this kind of bow used for competitions.
