The art of Kyudo

When I was in Kamakura, I was able to visit Mamie Mayanaki at her Kyudo Training in Kamakura! As this video is so popular I uploaded a HD version in full 1280x720 px quality, watch it here: • Art of Kyudo HD

Graceful, beautiful and focussed.
What kind of heads is she using on the arrows? Indoor soft points??
A delight to watch.

I want to achive mind blowing bliss and purposeful reason like these men and women when shooting my bowtech captain. I'm not by any means going to shoot my bow like these guys and gals, but I really like seeing and learning about other cultures regarding archery.. Man I love this sport. "no disrespect to the young lady who said it was a martial art."

Kyudo is a martial art that requires mental strength, physical and inner peace. I hope so The art of Kyudo comes to Venezuela. This video is inspirational to those we love the discipline.

interesting how they hold the arrow on the side of the bow that's facing away from them and not the side facing them
