Art of Kyudo HD

When I was in Kamakura, I was able to visit and interview Mamie Mayanaki at her Kyudo Training Center in Kamakura, Japan! Learn more about this amazing form of martial art. This is the 10th episode of my monthly HD Podcast "LIFE Voices". Watch and enjoy it in HD quality!

Kyudo is meditation using bow and arrows. It's not a war art. If you want to learn Japanese archery (for target/war), you have to look up something called "Kyūjutsu"

38 years old?!? Amazing! She looks much younger.

[@JakeCWolf]

Not a day past 25 if I was told to guess her age. Divine beauty truly.

[@justaguitardude]

before my health went bad i was into archery since a early age.always loved my longbow perfect hunting weapon,she is right archery helps you to stay calm, focus,be one with your self.always found japan style bow interesting,because limbs are so far off center,unlike typical D long bow,where the arrow shelf is about 3/4" above center,id love to find a documentary explaining how it develop(no shortage on the sword)fascinated with samurai/old japan history,and there culture too so polite respectful

"We should practise at least 30 years..."

[@joemichaels8389]

Wow, that is pretty cool, it's nice to see that people still practice yabusame along with kyudo.

[@comabatcameraman]

Superbly shot and edited piece. I hope you produce more.

[@AnthonyXiong]

[@davebasal5766]

Her eyes blinks so much... to much thinking going on :)

[@petrameyer1121]

The bow is asymetrical so it can be used from horseback.

[@TheLiamis]

what are the draw weights of those bows?. as a recurve 40lb compound 60lb archer that draw method they use is just incredible and looks damn hard.

[@BurnetteJacob]

It's believe its actually that way because there is more vibration when shooting from the center.

[@briannasanabria3935]

I know this is an old video but where can you get a bow like the ones in the video

[@erdemt4068]
