You are correct. The red loop to the top. Twist the string 3 or four times to the fight. Brace the bow by placing the upper tip above your head. Push the grip down. Pull the bottom limb up. Remove the lower string loop from your mouth after placing the lower limb on your thigh. Careful. You might break the bow. Armin. More string twist. Tenouchi, Tenouchi, Tenouchi. Reality push the bow forward. Push, Push, Push from the bottom of your feet. Oh yes, a breath to!

[@ArminHirmer]

it is very different from all other bows and yes it will take a while to learn

[@1czechit1]

@@ArminHirmer yes it is very different.

[@1czechit1]

I love my yumi. I have Japanese strings for my Japanese arrows (aluminum) and modern Kevlar for Bamboo arrows I made myself.

[@grantmiller6570]

These are very interesting bows, and the very stylized Japanese shooting method is also very interesting to watch, but that would never fit in my car to take it anywhere.

[@stevenparsons4464]

@grantmiller6570 you might surprise yourself by what you can accomplish by not putting your mind to it.

[@jfbock7512]

Hi Armin, It is a pretty bow indeed. It would be interesting to make a comparison between Numair and Sarmat hankyu. Have a great weekend

[@ArminHirmer]

good idea

[@ambidextrousarchery]

I like it! Welcome back from your travels, Armin. Looked like a super trip. 🙇🏻👍🏹

[@miguelveratraditionalarche9374]

It looks very nice and elegant martial art. It wouldn't work for me because I would hit the bow on all the trees in my house. Enjoy your beautiful life Armin. 🏹✨️😊

[@stevenparsons4464]

@@miguelveratraditionalarche9374 prune your trees. Lift the bow.

[@stevenparsons4464]

@miguelveratraditionalarche9374 Thare are schools within kyudo which the bow is not raised as illustrated in the video.

[@cathayarmory]

Yumi is comparable to manchu bow in heavy arrow projecting, while can also handle light arrows well. The Kyudo technique can also fix lots of archery problems. I suggest diving deeper into it in the future:)

[@anachronisticon]

I thought bows had to be optimised for one or the other. Large siyahs etc. Surely there is some tradeoff?

[@ArminHirmer]

nah not for me :D

[@karl5633]

Getting a good anchor point on these asiatic bows is baffling me. 😮

[@larsj.falkenberg6180]

You can shoot the Yumi just the way you want to. Hahaha.....................I have the clove, but don´t use it any more. I shoot it with a manchu ring and it feels so good 😇 Keep on trucking Armin 🏹

[@terricolawer8008]

Ese arco es bueno para ponerle un carrete , pita y ir a pescar 🤪

[@Kornmuehler]

A comparison with the Yumis from Sarmat Archery would be interesting.

[@pigpiggig]

the draw curve is a bit different since Sarmat's is mono-core and 2-core wood and bamboo backed (at least the ones I have). They shoot really different from the carbons and fiberglass ones, and weighs different too!

[@ArminHirmer]

don't have a Yumi from Sarmat

소리가 애니에서 봤던 맑고 청아한 소리가 아니네

[@sweetchariotengland]

Lovely stuff Im making one of these in Yew right now

[@Macovic]

What are the pos with the asymmetric shape? There must be some pos and some cons. By composition (traditional material, modern material and build tradition) it must be big to be this powerful, and bigger than the shoulder height pf a person, so by necessity it must be higher than it can be deep, resulting in an asymmetric bow? Wonderful presentation by the way :)

[@AhuramazdaShah-d8z]

The asymmetric bow is so the bottom will not drag on the ground while riding a horse

[@hunterthewerewolf]

Beautiful bow! Hope I'm fortunate enough to win it!

[@gizmonomono]

I really hope I win it. Such a beauty this one 😀 Isn't the string supposed to be a bit offset on an yumi?

[@exzendar2523]

Awesome and impressive!!! Domo arigato Armin San🙏🙏🙏

[@robsarchery9679]

Nice Review.

[@Kersich86]

why would bow run the string on the right side? that would make LH and RH shooters have quite a different experience.

[@niel3639]

in kyudo there are only right hand shooters.

[@Lionall]

Yumis are usually tailored to the person who's going to use it, and they don't really get passed around, so the LH, RH question is a bit irrelevant in this aspect. But, they are made this way to lessen the effect of archer's paradox, and to help the rotation of the bow in the hand (it has to do something with the perfect release, but don't ask me how, I didn't research the topic that far). Most Yumi bowyers offer left or right handed string options and even middle positioning, when ordering. I would like to compare a the string alignment to a left or right handed riser in case of a takedown recurve, but obviously the difference in shooting experience is not that glaring, you can still shoot a RH yumi with LH you just have to compensate a whole lot more.

[@stevenparsons4464]

@Kersich86 there are no left handed kyudoka.

[@Maketaurie]

It is a complete fiberglass bow or is laminated?

[@stevenparsons4464]

@@Maketaurie it has many parts. It has a central core. Side strip portions and the obvious belly and back.

[@laurentmeiller5171]

hi, now you tried all bow families, in the same spirit than Yumi, what kind of bow gives the same feeling all long draw recurves, or very long bows (70 inches with bamboo) ? the target distance is 18 or 24 meters ?

[@ArminHirmer]

no other bow will give you a similar feeling

[@laurentmeiller5171]

@@ArminHirmer the shooting distance is 28 m on a 36 cm target !

[@felixjaeger1635]

Christ Almighty... the bow is gorgeous... but hear me out. Imagine not having a kyudo club or shooting range in your backyard. Transporting this sounds easiest on top of your damn car.

[@stevenparsons4464]

@felixjaeger1635 CA. Bows are placed in a sleeve and then wrapped. Often, a third protection is added. If you place it on the roof, it may become very cold or overheat. Delamination is a real possibility for bamboo and glass bows. I have carried nobi length bows and ya cases on public transport. If you live the spirit of kyudo, others accommodate your effort.

[@3gthj]

armin love your vids, my parents wont let me upgrade your patreon. so im here asking if you were to make an exception for me and let me have one of the bows you used in a review

[@DominiqueBeninca-o2y]

Such a bizarre design, why such a tall tpo half ?

[@stevenparsons4464]

@user-jk3bp1wk2x string stability. The strong limb is the lower. Samurai era bows often were 100 pound draw weight war bows. Bamboo is a grass thicker at the bottom. In order to have a proper tiller, the top must be long.

[@1czechit1]

the center would have a shock like an English longbow. So the archer grips the lower third where the shock/vibration (node) has no vibration. That is the reason... also the shorter bottom allows an archery to shoot from a kneeling position.

[@stevenparsons4464]

@@1czechit1 not to mention the very long riser. Tenouchi, much like the "claw" of manchu archery 🏹 grip pushes to nullify hand shock.

[@1czechit1]

@@stevenparsons4464 My understanding is the Yumi is really only gripped with the little finger and "trapped" with the thumb closing on the middle finger and the ring finger. Is this correct?

[@stevenparsons4464]

@1czechit1 tenouchi. The bow is pushed with the thumb. The string is held with the thumb. The bow is drawn with a breath. So. You Don't want to strangle the bow. You don't want to drop it either. You want to hold it under tension of the draw weight balanced. More grip with the middle than the ring to the pinky hard enough to sustain the push. Push. Push. Push.

[@MaksymMikulski]

As Kyudoka, I can't look. When Yumi is presented by someone who has no idea what he is doing. Even the string is put on in reverse order. Please learn something before you show something.

[@ArminHirmer]

then just dont look. As mentioned I have to learn that but I am happy that you know all already

[@ArminHirmer]

and I showed the bow, not my shooting skills :D but go ahead criticise others

[@philipx4525]

typical kyudo police, damn it. Just don’t look.

[@dongleseon8785]

If you can't look, don't look. No one asked you to look 🤷

[@MrChris753]

I am also a Kyudoka and I am very embarrassed by MaksymMikulski who is damaging Kyudo with disrespectful behavior in public. One of the central aspects of Budo is respect. Anyone who does not adhere to this is not practicing Budo. I would like to thank Armin Hirmer for using his reach to make not only Yumi but also Kyudo better known. Of course, one could criticize some things, but only in a respectful and constructive way.
