Getting my butt off the seat puts all my weight way down low on the pegs. I can only do it for a fraction of a minute at a time though. Those women are obviously strong.
Really good form. I'm a rider here in America and we often practice this position, it takes a lot of strength and balance! Also I always post the trot meaning I stand then sit alternating with every step, which is a common technique. The Japanese style seems unique though, when they go in what we call "two-point", or standing in our stirrups, these riders are keeping their hips lower than what I've learned.
Because the Teacher lost to her student the Teacher actually won , because she was successful in Teaching her Student Well , that is a victory in itself .
Horse archery would be a wonderful sport to add to the Olympics. All the other equestrian events come from western European traditions, and it would be nice to have more diversity and to represent other horse riding cultures.

Happiness, yes, but I also saw humility. She was 'covering her mouth' - because (as I understand it) the Japanese don't brag or show ego. They're team-players, so she hugged her 'team'. Shared the joy.
What a wonderful tradition! This is so fascinating. It would be a shame if this was allowed to fade into history so Aoi Fuse is correct in her dedication to preserving Yabusame.
Yes indeed! For the teacher ('sensei'), I imagine this was her biggest win: she had succeeded in raising the next star. There is a powerful devotion to the 'craft' - especially in teachers.
If I were a teacher in a sport like this and I lost to my student, I would be extremely happy and grateful for it. My student beating me just goes to show how well I’ve taught them. And this teacher more than deserves her title of showing such grace and generosity in the face of defeat by her own student.
As a practicing archer who is well-accustomed to the Mediterranean style of draw, I find the Eastern style of draw with the thumb and arrow around the right side to be rather fascinating. That being said, I do wonder if there is a rule that only allows the Eastern style of draw in Yabusame.
I am grateful that these women compete at such a beautiful traditional sport & that they have their OWN level of competition! AMAZING PERFECTION & GRACE!😍😍😍👍❤️
I watched a documentary about Aoi. She was raised by a single mother, so dispite the finacial problem, her mother bought this horse for her daughter because Aoi really loves Yabusame and the horse. She and the horse are like sisters. The horse senses AOi what she wants so that the horse adjusts the speed, course and distance to makes sure she can hit the target. Such a amazing conbination!!
Japan has a very long tradition of elite archers. It's really cool that they still participates in their cultural traditions, even ones like archery which are considered outdated today.
Fascinating tradition and sport. It is so true and important to maintain balance in the face of chaos. Nice to see a beautiful old tradition sustain into the future.
I can only imagine what it would be like to witness something like this in person....I so love the Japanese philosophy of respecting those upstream and downstream in the flow of time
It takes two years to master? I can’t even hit a target with bow and arrow while standing on the ground. I think it would take me a two decades to master. 🏹🐎
He was only talking about the upper body stillness when he mentioned it took two years to master. To actually hit and ride well at the same time, takes a lifetime of practice and skill.
As far as I know, 9th to 13th-century samurai went to war with few commoner troops and armed as horse archers. The small size of those armies, and aristocracy's penchant for duels, would make it easier to fit horse archery battles into smaller battlefields. There was also cultural pressure from mainland Asia where the horse archer was uncontested.
@Goolag Tube I would do proper research before jumping to conclusions. Even the enemies of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, couldn't help but at least admire him despite their deep hatred for him. He is unique in that he was successful not only in spirituality but also in all worldly affairs. I recommend buying a book of his biography that's written by Muslims as opposed to a book written by someone with a biased opinion of him. You're old enough to make that decision. I believe in you.
What a wonderful sport, i am both a rider and an archer. Would love to try combining the arts. The way she rewards her horse after hearing her score hit me right in the equestrian feels.
This is great & surprising! Very fun to watch. Uniform (in kimono) is also visually appealing! More frontiers could be open for women! We shall see.....
日本の在来馬はポニーで、揺れが少なく弓射に適していたそうです。片側の脚を揃えて前に出す側対歩で更に揺れが少なくなります。4:34 The native horses in Japan are ponies which have less shaking and are suitable for shooting a bow. Shaking is further reduced by running side by side.

Love how she hugs her pony like that out of happiness:)
Same here. But I guess it is a horse, not a pony.😊
she hug it because it's "cute", then she will probably have it killed when it's not cute anymore
They are part of the team. A big part I hope they do care for their pony properly.

That is AWESOME! This looks fantastic -- you know a teacher is good when their student exceeds them! They're both wonderful!

Archery is an Olympic sport.
This _so_ needs to be in the Olympics.
So true.
それは難しいです。着物や作法が蔑ろにされたらそれはもう流鏑馬ではないからです。
About 75 plus countries should have Yabusame tournaments in their countries as well to be considered in the Olympics.
This sport is absolutely amazing! Such a treat to watch. Wish video was longer ! Such great equestrians! And excellent mounts.
こういう素晴らしい文化が継承されていくのは本当に素晴らしいです！これからもずっと継承されますように😊
BADASS. This needs to be spread around the world. Who wouldn't like this?!
Investing in the past and the future at the same time. Both will bring uch joy and happiness. Thank you
this is the most beautiful tradition in the world. sooo coool!
Excellent teacher. One of a good teacher greatest delights is their students surpassing them.
what a graceful sport :-)

This just fueled my desire to go to Japan more!
What an amazing sport, looks awesome !
羨ましいな。私のとこは全然、文化が残ってなくて悲しいわ。
一部地域では神楽があるけど、これ！ってのが無い😢
A great example of why Japanese bows are offset like that, makes them much easier to use from a horse
What a beautiful sport!
You women are just wonderful!
What a beautiful video! It would be interesting to find out how mountainous and rugged Japan was able to develop an effective horse archer culture.

海外で御覧の方、これはスポーツではなく軍事訓練です。武士は軍人なので乗馬の稽古、弓の稽古は欠かせません。東京(江戸)でも例えば高田馬場はそのような広い場所がありました。

今は伝統を大切にしつつ健全な精神と肉体を作るスポーツの位置付けでしょう。

手放しで馬が走り続けるのがすごいよね。馬ってそういうものなのかな。
直前に入力されたミッションを次の入力があるまでやり続けるのか。
別々の射手が 3〜4頭の馬を繰り返し使って 流鏑馬をされているのを見学した時 おばあさん馬での成功率が高く感じたので 「射手より お馬さんの腕前(脚前？)の方が重要なんじゃないの？」と同行者に軽口を言った事を思い出しました。
競馬で騎手が落馬した後でも馬はちゃんとレースをやりきるので、そういう調教をしていれば馬は賢いのできちんと覚えて一人でもできるみたいですね。
射手が「止まれ」の手綱を出さない限り馬は走り続けると思います。他の方が競馬で落馬があった場合の話もされていますが、何らかのトラブルで射手が落馬した場合、馬止めが無いと（そんなことはあり得ないと思いますが）馬はそのままどっかに走り去ってしまうかもしれません（笑）
なんとも勇ましい👏👏👏👏👏
Friends, what a beautiful day with the blooming trees!
You see yabudusama perfectly duing! Yabusame school you know!
I thought I heard touchy sketchy.😂. Everything in Japan is beautiful!
Where are Ashitaka and San?
Amazing how still their upper bodies stay while on the horse!!! True skill in that itself....much less having to shoot at something while doing it!!

オリンピック種目にと切望する声が多いようだが、なにか違うものになってしまう予感がする。

I am interested why the arrow is placed on the right side of the bow and not the left as in western archery.
Right .
It is the difference between the Mongolian style and the Mediterranean style.
In the Mongolian style (Mongolia, China, Korea, Japan), arrows are attached to the outside of the bow.

馬に乗るのも一朝一夕で出来るものでもないし、弓を射るのも半年練習しないと弓が引けないと聞く、
