Kyudo②〜hidden techniques〜

- In Japanese kyudo, archers use traditional asymmetric bows over 2 meters long as they attempt to strike a target from a distance of either 28 or 60 meters. Self-mastery is key in this exacting martial art, where the target is said to reflect the heart, and correct attitude and technique are seen as intertwined. We use a high-speed camera to track the path of a skilled archer's arrows as they fly through the air, shining a light on the depth and subtleties of kyudo's hidden techniques.

Japanese culture is brilliant and fascinating!
"Even if my opponents miss, my job remains the same. The only question for me is how I handle my own bow. Releasing the arrow naturally is what is best. I will keep reaching for that ideal until the day I die."
Absolutely true bro, i have finished the book call "The Way of Zen" by Alan Watts and very impressed by how Zen reflect on many aspect of Japanese culture, especially Kyudo, Kendo and Chado. It is all the way of Nature, so beautiful.
@@hungnguyen-mm6pm Unfortunately, books like 'The Way of Zen' and -- especially -- 'Zen in the Art of Archery' by Eugen Herrigel have lead to a lot of confusion among outsiders to Kyudo and Kendo. As one of my sensei said, "Zen is Zen, and Budo is Budo."
I personally found real Japanese far from what they old traditional culture used to teach. I admire it and I wish I can follow its rules and teaching
@@rickloyd8208 Some Japanese still do, and many non-Japanese now do. If you train in traditional Japanese arts such as the Kyodo seen here, and/or Iaido (one type of swordsmanship), Chado (tea ceremony), etc., there is still a lot of immersion in traditional Japanese customs and traditions.
To handle your own bow and have mental Harmony because like the last gentleman that we're all others miss the target you know you are going to get that adrenaline rush and you need to hold that back and be in that moment so when you release your physical and mental Harmony will send the Arrow home.
This aint poppin up on everyone's recommended anytime soon.
If you're here, you're a certified nerd. Respect++
Edit: things have changed the last time I’ve been here lol.
Second time watching, I just bought a Hankyu bow moments before watching it again!
it appeared after i saw some female archer fire the bow in an 11 year old video
it popped up after the Breath of the Wild Archery video lol. And imma say im totally amazed by Kyudo! the craft, physics, tradition, mental preparation, everything is fascinating
thats where ur wrong randomly just popped up on my stuff
@@eyescare7134 this video? Episode TWO? Your watch history gotta be SOMETHING for sure.
May the Japanese always be Japanese.
I agree, thats why i see a Japanse who convert to islam (which happen lately) or even christianity as a traitor of their heritage and their land.
They do seem to know something the rest of us don't.
They are mostly american now.
Like the rest of the world, only a bunch of nihilist consumers.
@@jpsholland islam doesn't change your lifestyle. Having beard is not changing culture. In fact, some Japanese also have long beard. Usually the wise and old people.
Plus, islam doesn't have special costume as long as it is polite. And Japanese normal clothes are already polite. Except for the woman. Woman need to Wear hijab. It is for their safety tho. From the pervert male. And in Japan, the perverts are a lot. Just like in every part of the world.
But it removes the adultery culture and alcohol consumption and other haram thing. And also the polytheism culture. Which is good, right?
No more primitive mythical way of thinking. Modern Japan also like that. They still care about God's stuff but they don't care about it. They prefer science than religion.
In other Hand, it is Christianity that ruin the Japanese culture so hard especially with their Western culture.
The Christmas, the Easter, etc. The west suit, etc.
Edit: Plus, learn history. Islam always spread naturally. It only takes logic to accept Islam. Maybe your children someday will be a Muslim too. There is no force.
While Christianity.. It brings destruction. Remember when Japan first met with the west world? USA force Japan to open the country and threat them with cannon ships.
Christianity always a terror to the world.
@@DBT1007 you are spouting such bullshit it hurts.
Look at how much peace your religion brings and all the sec slavery connected to it. Since when cant women choose what they want to wear ?
Weird that it takes some one else to force those rules upon others.
Amazing just a simple bow no weights sights or scopes true archers.
It isn't anything close to a simple bow. The constitution and shape of the bows is different, as is the way to handle them. The arrow as well.
kyudo is more focused on art and self defense, most of it is about the spiritual between you and the bow.
western archery is more focused on speed, efficiency, accuracy and adaptability. it is like learning to takedown your prey effectively rather than spiritual thing.
bs
@@ThatWeirdCat Art & Zen body spirit alignment, sure. But Self Defense? I dunno about that part. Kyudo seems a bit too impractical for self defense, at least at an individual standpoint. Perhaps you could argue that as a group support role in ancient military strategic deployment though.
@@ThatWeirdCat The amount of steps and preparation that each shot requires and the belief that "arrow finds its way to the target if your mind, body and spirit align" isn't feasible for an actual predator/malicious human, since they can move in b/w the time (so arrow wouldn't magically find its way to the opponent) and do all sorts of stuff b/w the preparation stage.
SWORD OF THE STRANGER! I recognise that piece of music anywhere.
Good ear.

I don't know it. Which part of the video?
@@BibtheChibI can hear the drums start well before but the flutes come in at 8:40.
Indeed! It brought a tear to my eye. ;)
This is similar to the principles of rifle marksmanship. I shot expert (highest rank) on the rifle range when I was in the marine corps. Marksmanship is 95% mental, 5% physical. My technique is to put my body into a position of relaxed rest. Then you shoot from that position of rest. If your shot misses the mark, adjust your position, not your rifle. If you use your muscles to push the rifle to where you want it to aim, your shots will be inconsistent. After your body is in position, then it's all about doing a slow, steady trigger pull without wobbling the barrel. The harder part is timing your shot to fire on an exhale breath. Breathing movement will put your shot off the mark. A bit more subtle (and noticeable) is that heart beats will also slightly wiggle the barrel slightly. So, if you're totally relaxed, it mitigates the effects of breathing and heart beats on the shot accuracy. I'm able to hit a target, in the black, from 500 meters away with iron sights, ten out of ten times. Marksmanship is fun!
U talk too much
when doing archery, and teaching archery, i tell my students that it's about 90% form consistency, 9% range finding, and 1% aiming. once you have your form down, and you figured out your distance from the target, you just look at the target, and let your body do the rest. if you overthink, you will miss, or hold the bow drawn too long and start to wobble from fatigue.
i agree, marksmanship is fun
We love a 360 no scope
As lame as this may sound it is the same with pro-level videogames where at some point to be the best everything in your life has to align, has to all come together, in every way... and then you perform perfectly.

Me: Don't mind if i do.
Nice video, interesting archery technique. I’ve been a bowman for over 42 years and still love to learn something new.
me to. I got my first long bow in 1957 and I still have it. Its a lemon wood and its just for show. After watching this style of shooting I think the long bow is more fun. I now shoot the 21st century reflex long bow.
Hits the target when everyone misses it, walks back as if nothing great happened. Take a bow!
"Take a bow" 😂👌🏼🎯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I was programed to win, thank you
that ending change was a ride 😆✨
The Japanese could make a ceremony out of anything, even, like, making tea...
So true!
oh wait, they did!
Absolutely. Useless, lame, they never really had to struggle during history. Kyudo is not even archery, it is just fooling around.
@@goprodog4304 I'm sure they had to struggle. After war became a no go, their land have little natural resource so their economy relied mainly on exporting high tech. Not many countries in the world is able to achieve that in its early history. They've dominated the car and phone industry in the 1990-2000's
It’s not all that different from golf form.
The wierdest thing in the world is when the narrator is clearly a young chap , but pretends to be an old guy when dubbing the older dude
Everything in Japan can be spiritualised
It's all based on Chinese culture.
And Southeast Asians too love to connect things with mythical thing too.
South Asia also.
But Chinese always do the elegant thing
The influence of Meiji Reformation era propaganda is still strong
There needs to be a movie about an old japanes grandpa protecting himself with this bow.
Write it then

Awesome approach to deal with anxiety and overthinking. I feel this method of mental preparation is the golden ticket whether it be for a major sport or skill development.
It is. Pretty common in sports psychology.
I just cannot believe how fascinating and awe-inspiring Japanese culture is!!
There are good and bad in every culture...
@@eminence_ therefore, bringing that up is irrelevant
That Sword of the Stranger music was really fitting here. ^^
I love Japan love from india
True no scope kings
Japan is so amazing to learn about. Awesome video. 👍
The soundtrack is sick
Goddd I'm in awe. I got goosebumps several times in this video, this art is so incredible.
You can hear the force of impact across the arena. They'd cut clear through a person. The focus they have is incredible
Most bows will do that even at 40 lb. and a 50 lb will go through a moose if the arrow is heavy enough . Trad bows width heavy arrows are very deadly, not a toy to play with.
@@hildtonmcconnell5626 Holy shit, now I wonder what a warbow with a razor head can do. I've seen something like a 70 pound bow penetrating a deer with the fletchings inside it's body with a stone point.
Just dodge. 😂 He'll have to do that stupid dance all over.
@@HardyMetalliX Damn, you must be a genius, no-one ever thought of that before.

I can imagine an archer going through this 8 step process in a battle against a charging enemy of Samurai swordsmen, who will be cutting him down before he has let loose his first arrow! :)
Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. Only when a warrior can perform the techniques slowly and perfectly should they attempt to speed up, and eventually commit to combat. The same is true for modern firearms as much as it is ancient archery.
Dumbest comment I've read this week. Congrats!
Smartest comment I've read on this video. Thanks for being woke and not a weeaboo nerd.
I mean... duh.
All archers around the world aren't made to face against someone who wields a melee weapon all by themselves, and even if they found themselves in that scenario; I'm pretty darn sure that you are allowed to shoot an arrow quickly when an enemy is already close-by anyway, the martial arts are made for long ranged combat hence why you didn't see them shooting a target right in their face.
So contrary to the comment above me; it's not smart nor is it "woke" (who unironically says that in this kind of context), if anything; the main comment is more likely a joke.
8:00 That's some Japanese Jaimusu Bondo, look at this Singeki no kyojin-style triumph walk
To someone using modern or European shooting form, this looks so wrong. The string is behind his ear, the arrow on the wrong side, his feet not 90 degrees to the target, the bow disproportionately shaped. AH! It looks so frustrating, but I guess it works. Leave it to the Japanese to make it difficult! XD
Very interesting....I enjoy & respect all cultures!
First minute.
So rifeling. But for arrows
That’s a way of looking at it, indeed🤔
Kinda like being a sniper instead of being an infantryman meant for shooting as much arrow as possible (like the English Longbowmen for example).
Every fuckin 3 minutes I get a Netflix commercial - WTF!!!
....I can't hit the target reliably, but I do look GRREEEAT holding that bow! Hai!
Takeo Ishikawa , I`ve watched other videos ,I 1st went to see is He Intelligent Gifted and what is the Humbleness all about? He seen some were in His Life He could Do this .

"arrow should naturally find its way to the target" HAHAHAHAHA its more fucked up than a fuckin voodoo magic HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
It's exactly these sorts of disciplines in Japanese culture that make them so admirable~ There is no other culture on Earth that cultivates focus and discipline like the Japanese practices of old!
That's... not really true.

Japanese katanas are beautiful, but their bows are ugly, lopsided , and underpowered for their size. It's' almost like a fisherman tied a string to both ends of his fishing pole and called it a bow.
All this fanfare, and Japan hasn't won a single Olympics gold medal in archery for decades. One wonders ...
The abundant fine possibly spray because traffic monthly yawn into a public continent. stingy, gaping tongue
There was a beautifully visible connection between his body, to the bow, to the target.
why they doesnt win in archery in olympics if this technique are true?
Why is Stewie from Family Guy commentating the video?
There's so many good and brave people Japanese and all Nations I'm grateful for that
You don't "fire" arrows. They're not firearms. You "shoot" them.
isnt it technically loosing the arrow
Japanese culture makes things much harder then they are. Not everything is an spiritual; experience.

8 tages of firing an arrow is a totall bullshit
All that mental discipline does no good when the target is fighting back.
To wit.... American machine gunners on American warships versus Kamikaze pilots.
A few got through.. but the vast majority of Kamikaze pilots met a watery grave.
P.S. The machine guns were much more artfully crafted than a bow and arrow.

6:40 correct arrow and correct technique: brilliant arrow flight (0:00 problems!)
I'm Hawaiian. So I'll be cheering on for JAPAN's runners! I teaches one key to my players in try-out during college season to the Freshman students about how to handle fears. Is some are faster, some are stronger...but don't worry about other guys. Just challenge you. Try to beat your own record! Challenge you.& the students had a good laughs. Good. Now fears can be good thing if handle properly. As Jesse Owen had mental to beat his own time. Every time he races. He wasn't looking at his challengers. He saw himself to rise above all he was, am, now~ Fly high. Keen reflexes. Hope 2020 bring good fortune :) Go JAPAN Go!

Arrows are not "fired".
Arrows are loosed.

lol too much unnecessary moments
@@krisdang A bunch of foo-foo bu!!sh!t centered around a bow that's a child's toy when compared to say... an English longbow.
an English longbow which is meant to volley far over walls, spamming as many arrows as possible. antithesis to the marksman concept of the perfect hit. Might as well compare a mass-produced shotgun to a precision rifle.
@@krisdang many*
@@drm9397 You are mistaken if you think Kyudo is centered around the bow. It's about the archer. Proper footing, proper stance, proper muscle tension, proper grip, centered raising of the bow (such that you could also fire it from horseback without shifting your weight and accidentally communicating to your horse that it should move), proper release, and proper mental state before and after release.

What? Why the hell would you draw the bow so slowly and hold it for so long? That's super hard!
What's your FOC?
Too early release...a common problem among many :) just think about math...
I see all current Kyudo participants use a glove. Does anyone ever fire a bow in kyudo with their raw hand? What happens to the hand if someone does kyudo with a bare hand? Has that always been traditional even back in the feudal era or is that a more modern convention in the past century or so?
Where can you purchase authentic Japanese equipment like this? I live in the US and would like to try something more difficult and artistic than standard recurve and compounds, which I do participate in regularly
I think they've not met cavalry in a long time. Good luck doing the 8 steps.
Interesting how very similar Kyudo actually is to european archery. Apparently there is only so many ways to get it right.
So many keyboard experts saying that only counting targets as "hit" or "not hit" rather than trying to hit the center is wrong. But in warfare, if you have a 2 1/2 foot long arrow sticking through you and out the other side on the center of your chest or a bit to the left, you're still dead

a true shot never misses. 5 / 6 finalists in a tournament miss the target. xD
Just goes to show that traditional techniques are bullshit. Modern, based on science will always be better. Just watch any competition with modern composite bows, they are crazy accurate.
@@fobusas or, you could use a mix of both.
@@fobusas Composite bows are also crazy high tech, and very consistent. Bamboo bows are irregular, no visual aids or stabilizers. Traditional archery removes the whole technological arms race component, leaving us with purely the human aspect.
@@drownthedays Isn't it the opposite? Regular bow has crazy amounts of luck. Modern tech being far more consistent means it's mostly down to archers skill, not the bow.
@@fobusas Quite the contrary. I wouldn't call it luck, really. With a traditional bow, the archer has to do the job of all the stabilizing tech while also knowing and accounting for any possible quirks of the bow itself. Oh, and aim without any aid as well. As we can see in the clip, it is quite difficult to give the arrow a somewhat straight trajectory, and that it takes a good amount of training and concentration to achieve this.
And here I thought they were like that because they looked cool.
simp archer
or
giga chad crossbowman ?
Quite peculiar that they are taught to hold their aim for that long.
Idk how that is for modern archery, but i know that with firearms target shooting, i was told to pull the trigger in a constant, natural motion and not try and linger too long while aiming, nor to pull it in a hectic fashion...
i keep seeing arrows held by the pinkie in the off hand. i wonder if thats just another shot, or if theres another reason.

I don't believe that anybody can hit a target in darkness. Can he then do it with his eyes closed?

If fired wrong, the bow string can take your ear off if it gets to close 👂
Weird how they use there thumb to hold the string and we "west" use our fingers. Very interesting.
