ZANSHIN The Art Of Follow-Through video395/23

Comparing japanese ZANSHIN with Follow-Through

[@kyudodetmold]

(google-translator) - Thumbs up! The zanshin also shows the non-specialist very clearly whether the decisive forces have been used correctly before the shot: direction and strength. If the archer makes an additional movement at the launch (in the case of beginners because of uncertainty; in the case of professionals shooting outdoors, when counteracting a change in aiming position due to a gust of wind) you can see this immediately. The shooter with the rifle appears almost frozen in his movement. The archer has to muscularly create the frozen dynamic tension of the bow (often 16-20 kilos) and then release the right hand from the string at the right moment without losing the entire muscle tension from foot to head. The special design of the kyudo bow (longer at the top than at the bottom - and also twisted sideways) requires a three-dimensional movement of the bow hand in space. This is considerably heavier than a modern Olympic recurve bow with stabilizing rods that compensate for disruptive mass movements of the bow when the bow is fired (the upper limb is slightly shorter than the lower one). I would be happy to send interested parties my 180-page script for Kyudo.

Now this is a masterful approach - especially the 3 second rule ....
