Kyudo − The Way of the Bow

Kyudo is literally worst way to do archery and is literally useless

Impressive.... I have tinnitus. I wonder if I can concentrate and get pure presence of mind by practicing Kyudo.

I want to give you my child

I’m here from the anime tsurune

Kyudo tienes que escuchar el aire antes de disparar

This is so cool. I wish Kyudo classes were in America

I would like to find a Kyodo Practitioner or Dojo or Teacher

I love Japanese culture. Just like Karate, Kyudo's main goal is to have a stable Mind, Body and Spirit.

superbness :

The woman is so pretty!

I’m try I’m trying to get the stance down, much more difficult to shoot a recurve this way but it looks nice when it works.

Kyudo isn't the way of the bow its a way of a bow. Archery is a far superior form of using a bow precisely to hit a target. Kyudo is about everything that isn't Archery

Do you people know nothing about archery? Everyone knows you do not shoot a bow with the arrow on the same side as the hand shooting the bow. The arrow goes on the same side as the hand holding the bow. If you are shooting the bow right handed, the arrow goes on the left side of the bow. The Japanese knew this, and did not shoot the bow wrong like in the video. If you are gonna show us something, at least show us the CORRECT WAY to do it. Maybe if you morons actually did your homework, you’d know how to shoot a damn bow!

could you do kyudo with like an english/welsh long bow ?

I have watched quite a few of these vids. None of them showed the person hitting the target. This one did and now I have a greater appreciation for their skills!

Lol!

I was inspired by watching a competition a little while ago, and modified kūdō for myself, in which the target is the goal, but, instead of simply striking it down with an arrow, I treat these arrows as vessels with which to seal my malice and sorrow, and the target as the void into which to send them off. I see it as a way to purify a tainted spirit, and typically use my modified kūdō when I do feel rather negatively, to rid myself of fury before I become its vessel. Otherwise, I just shoot like normal, with speed and the simple intent for accuracy. I don't have a ūmē bow, so I just stand it in with a Tatar bow.

She is so pretty 😢😢😢

I would ❤ to learn Kyudo

Can people stop translating "道" as "way"??
"Discipline" is so much better.

I am impressed with the size of both the bows and the arrows. I wonder how much strength it takes to pull?

Interesting that bow and bow are spelt the same.

Why do the men have to show their nipples?

Interesting

I get the same sense when I shoot my English long, recurve or compound bow. Practicing to the point of instincts to draw aim n fire in the seconds of action without thought n always improving ur consistency on ur target

If the ancient warriors and samuri moved this slow back in the day, there would be no Japan now.

Wish I could get a copy of this clip of the woman aiming and shooting without the narration/music. Just the birds chirping in the back. The scene is a great philosophical lesson.

Beautiful.. aim at the inner self it is a meditation ⛩️🏹

Girl is very pretty 😍😊

Such discipline and grace

My dream😞😞

At the begining of this video, the lack of a sighting system is suggested to be related to the idea that hitting the target is not the aim of this art. However, there are many simple bows, both in history and in the modern era, that lack sighting systems, but are still built for the purpose, the express purpose, of hitting targets. Without something to aim at, all a bowman of ANY discipline has, is a stick with some cord tied to it, and a pouch of shorter, pointier sticks😊 A sighting system is wholly unnecessary to accurate use of a bow. Time spent training, no matter whether it is in a spiritual way, as depicted here, hunting for food, or shooting at targets as a pure physical discipline with no spirituality involved, is what is required to be capable of hitting targets.

I belive woman in first with kyudo a beauty and smell but i like it

what if i want to learn kyudo, but i can't bow due to me being muslim, we only bow to our God, so would it be possible to learn?

more pretentious sht from japan.

Just finished watching "TSURUNE" and im here

anyone here because Tsurune ?

As an archer, one thing I never understand but this explains, is when I focus too much on the target, I miss. When I allow the flow of my natural actions to control the shot and clear my mind, I make far better shots. I'd like to take up this form and try, but their ain't no dojos in Yorkshire 😂

I would really like to shoot one of those

Nice

best part is when they get a tiddy out.

Terrible shot

its meditation. Yoga at its best.

So meditation is scored in a game? That's like telling someone art is wrong. That tells me it's bullshito. I understand the premise but you can't tell they are not performing.

Feel like in Japan everything goes "...do"

That is the loudest bow I have ever heard, cool oneness going on though. Gonna go shoot my bow tomorrow when I wake up.

Потрясающе. У дядечки тремор руки, а попал в самый центр!
