- "When they come to an engagement with the enemy, they will gain the victory in this fashion. They never let themselves get into a regular medley, but keep perpetually riding round and shooting into the enemy. And as they do not count it any shame to run away in battle, they will sometimes pretend to do so, and in running away they turn in the saddle and shoot hard and strong at the foe, and in this way make great havoc. Their horses are trained so perfectly that they will double hither and thither, just like a dog, in a way that is quite astonishing. Thus they fight to as good purpose in running away as if they stood and faced the enemy because of the vast volleys of arrows that they shoot in this way, turning round upon their pursuers, who are fancying that they have won the battle. But when the Mongols see that they have killed and wounded a good many horses and men, they wheel round bodily and return to the charge in perfect order and with loud cries, and in a very short time the enemy are routed. In truth they are stout and valiant soldiers, and inured to war. And you perceive that it is just when the enemy sees them run, and imagines that he has gained the battle, that he has in reality lost it, for the Mongols wheel round in a moment when they judge the right time has come. And after this fashion they have won many a fight"
Marco Polo on Mongol Military Tactics
I was in an archery club for a few years. However, we shot at stationary targets from a standing position. I can't imagine how much training and experience it takes to hit moving targets at that speed from a horseback. These people have my full respect.
Exactly, that's why the ancient Chinese army formed by farmers couldn't defeat PROFESSIONAL ARCHERS formed by nomads although the Chinese army had more men
You have to use a thumb ring to shoot effectively while you are moving
@@aofeizhang8735 The Chinese did beat them plenty of times. But it's still telling that the best tactic they found was to beat the nomads at their own game - making their own cavalry archer corps.
@@aofeizhang8735455😂❤😊😅
If want to learn just come and train I can teach yu
Amazing. Im Native American (Navajo) This is amazing to see this culture still hold their traditional ways.
Our Central Asian and First Nations people are related✊✊✊
Hi, sorry for my bizarre question,...
How many Native Americans are currently living in the USA?
you are ONLY american others are occupants
@@bartomiejzakrzewski7220 I don't think you understand what the title is.
no you are not 👏
This is amazing in that Mongols knew the real value of shooting at fast moving targets simulating real combat scenarios, 800 years before today’s fighter shooting at moving targets.
Thanks
Dynamic horse archery goes back way further than 800 years
They were one of the few cultures who invented a bow where they actually could shoot like that from a horse
@@AltanNergui
I love how unified and centralized ancient mongolian life was around horse and archer. A culture seemingly built for mastery of war.
Actually I believe shooting at moving targets were originally meant for hunting. Need to bring in some nice venison. It was later adapted for warfare.
It's a thing of beauty. As impressive as this is, the horse archers of old were on another level, having known nothing but life in the saddle from childhood, imagine the feats they were capable of...
Thanks
i heard from another video, there was an archer on horseback who fired three arrows into a man as his horse fell from a fatal injury. three arrows in practically one second
@@wyatt7465 Historical sources love to exaggerate. There’s also records of armies which exceed the total population of the empires raising them, stories of one guy holding a bridge against thousands of men, arrows blocking out the sun, and many other tall tales.
It’s possible to loose arrows quickly, but 3 in 1 second is superhuman, aka not possible. The human body just does not move that fast. The rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle, or the rate at which a human can pull a trigger, is roughly 2 shots per second. That’s a 1/2 inch movement of one finger. Drawing a bow requires the entire arm to move several feet and takes significantly longer than it takes to move the finger 1/2 an inch.
@@QualityPen i didn't say one second, i said Practically one second. from the time his horse got hit to the time it took for him to loose the arrows quickly. historically speaking it takes a trained soldier to fire a flintlock 2-3 times in one minute and though rare can be shot 3-4 times.
my point with that being humans who have a certain level of determination or motivation can do impossible things in certain situations. there are stories of parents lifting cars with their bare hands to rescue their kids. and this archer i was referring to was focused on one target and i never said he pulled the arrows back to full draw.
and that was a bit contradictory of you to say in one line it's possible then to say in the next line it's not possible.
@@QualityPen actually you'd be surprised how fast one can shoot arrows. look up lars andersen archery, you will be shocked
"A man on a horse is spiritually, as well as physically, bigger than a man on foot" - John Steinbeck
Amazing, Imagine the fear and feeling of total hopelessness that western armies felt when encountering thousands of these guys for the first time.
The Mongols were actually quite weak to Western armies. The Mongol threat against Central Europe was ended by the rapid westernization of the Hungarian and Polish militaries. The Mongols were thoroughly embarrassed when they went up against a reformed Hungarian army in the 1280s, for instance. Nagai Khan lost almost his entire army and barely survived himself.
Mongols raided eastern europe villages and castles, once they arrived to western Europe they retreated since:
-their strategy only worked in plains and steppes
-there was a big number of fortified castels
-the territory was mountainous and hilly
-there were no forage to sustain the horses because they needed big plains
-plate armor is made to protect from arrows
INSANE displays of riding skill plus archery feats! WOW they are really galloping so fast and doing all sorts of shots, including shooting each other! Love it!
Thanks a lot we are trying to save this ancient art
I'm a woman and really want to learn horseback archery. I just started learning archery last year and don't knoe how to ride a horse yet. If there's a war, I want to be a horseback archer
@@naylisyazwina6836Not sure how useful that might been on modern warfare... It would be a great skill all the same.
@@naylisyazwina6836 Idk where you are but Horses havent been used on the battlefield since 1942. Theyre used more for recon and crowd control nowadays
@@naylisyazwina6836 Riding a horse is a wonderful experience but to ride well takes much practice. And I recommend that you get used to the fairly terrifying feeling of riding at full gallop before you think about doing it without using your hands, lol!😀
As a Hungarian, i felt proud watching them . Talented people. Greetings goes out from the Sons Of Attila. Praise Tengri.
Love Asia to the moon and back. Don't care about the West at all, we belong to Asia
Greetings cousin :) another grandson of Great Attila from Türkiye
Tengri biz menen
so fancy that hungarians of today think of themselves as sons of atilla while their dna is mostly mix of slavs and neighbouring people :D
@@hirdbarding3399 depends on the person. the actual person.
Insane to imagine it was this that brought the ancient world to heel. So many accounts treat the Mongol hordes as a force of nature, not an army.
My dad was born in Inner Mongolia and he said this video reminded him of his uncle who can ride a horse with no saddle at the age of 8.
This is insane! Shooting arrows at enemy from horseback was probably the equivalent to gunning down people from a helicopter while horse archer vs. horse archer was probably as close to a dogfight as you can get before the advent of firearms and flying machines.
thanks
スゴイ!格好いい!!モンゴル軍がいかに強力だったかを感じられますね。素晴らしい動画をありがとう👏

Mongolian & other steppe horse archers had a large part in creating today’s world, a heritage those archery students should be proud to continue. Beautiful video. I wish I could have seen the Mongolian army I’m action. Well, maybe not.
thanks
It’s be the last thing you’d ever see
What "heritage" would they leave behind? Just a trail of death, destruction and catastrophe, like a swarm of locusts.
@@ayoubmonno9662 I hear you and understand. They turned Central Asia and much of China into pasture, obliterating millions of lives, many cultures and languages in the process. But, a long time has passed, so we can look back with clearer eyes to see what they wrought, to learn and understand.
@@gregoryluckert9969 I can't imagine what over 120,000 Mongol cavalry looked like in action. Must've sounded like thunder with all those hoofs galloping.
Seeing this amount of skill, it seems quite obvious how the mongols conquered themselves a largest continuous empire ever
thanks
soon we wiill post more good monoglian horsebakc archery videos our team trying to save that mongol horseback archery traditions
Right now it looks like a sport but in 800 years ago those were the most lethal techniques on battlefield. Amazing skills.
As an experienced rider myself, and someone who is well trained with a rifle and bow, I find this to be beyond impressive. Shooting from the back of a moving horse takes some insane skill! Thanks to the Mongolians for the stirrup by the way.
@Kashgari yes (or Sarmatians) but it was the Mongols that took it to Europe
@@Maza675 I stand corrected, and thank you for the information.
Have any of you ever tried riding without a saddle or stirrups? I compare it to driving a sports car without power steering or hydraulic brakes. Much better in terms of a sense of real control and feel. However, the burn in the thighs after 30 minutes or so (depending on how you're riding) is noticeable, it's definitely a lot more work to stay on the horse, again depending on how well trained your horse is, and how you're riding it.

Yeah, these short horses are incredibly strong! Arabic/European horses may look good, but Mongolian horses withstand cold, hunger and other hardships much better than them
That's why Mangols shivered the entire world 👌👌👌👍
Netflix should make a movie out of it. What a wonderful scene! Thanks for sharing this!
" War of the Arrows " 2011 Korean film and excellent
Did you notice that although their horses move erratically below them riders, they manage to keep their bodies stable???? 😲 Incredible.
Yes, however just a reminder that they aren't the only people who can do that!
@LawyerSean prove it
Core strength from wrestling and riding horses they whole life
They stand in the stirrups using their legs to smooth out the motion, like standing when on a bike. But I think that back in the day the mongols did not use stirrups so that wold have looked a bit different...
They’re communicate with the horse with their knees knocking or body weight leaning to right or left. The horse knows where to go with that body languages.
If ancient people saw riders like this...not difficulty to understand how the kentaurs legends are born :D
This is horse abuse
True! Greeks also said that the Amazonians were Scythian. Scythian women would fight alongside their men in battles in the bronze age so the Greeks mythologized them to be an all female warrior race. The centaurs might've been mythologized Scythian nomads too
@@ThatBuckskinPonyTell that to cavalry 1000 years ago.
@@soysauce4087 Can’t. It was 1000 years ago. But now, humans know that other animals have emotions and that we should respect that
Truly amazing and incredible! I imagine back in the 1200s of Mongolian Soldiers
thanks
And i hope to joining turkic cavalry or mamluk
@@danidans4689 me too!
@Dani Dans the mamluks were turks, & they were also born & bred on the same steppes as the mongols in present day krygz/kazakh, thats why their horse archery was paralleled to the mongols. Before being sold off into slavery by the mongols by Crimea way to Syria then Egypt.
@Mighty Light a bit of history, its the SLAVE MAMLUK TURKS of the kipchack steppes, present day kazakhstan/kyrgyzstan who defeated the mongols under Al Zahir Baybars who is also a Steppe Nomad whom share the same culture as the mongols. thats why their horse archery was paralleled to the mongols bc they're essentially steppe nomad people with the same culture before they were sold off by the mongols into slavery. The mamluks also used feigned & retreat to defeat the mongols. They also looked like mongols too.
As a Turkish, I salute our closest relatives, the brave Mongolian brothers&sisters! Long live Mongolia!
@Mighty Light That allah, also can see Qutaiba's bloodshed in the Middle Asia too ? By the way, there's no allah or something. Nobody can see nothing.
@Mighty-Light Fun fact : some mamluks were mongols (like Al Adil Kitbuga)
Long Live Mongolian and Turkish brotherhood.
This tactic of warfare allowed these people to rule the largest land empire in history stretching from Poland to Korea, 800 years ago. Simply amazing.
Just took an basic archery course. The amount of skill these people have is astonishing!
Incredible to see this in live action. They must have been so goddamn terrifying to fight against in medieval times
Everyone is a badass until you see a horde of nomad riders and experts archers come towards you blocking the sun with a veil of arrows hailing down…😮
I’m mixed Hungarian and Native American and this literally brings tears to my eyes and I can hear my ancestors calling
Imagine an army of those archer riding to you with there arrows. No wonder they built the biggest empire in history
yes my ancestors build bic empire
there was like hundreds of nations and empires who fought with horse archery not just mongols
@@takachitimur474 hundreds of empires?! For real ? You know what empire means ?
seljuk cavalry acher still better than Mongol
@Andy Hrp90 you do know the seljuks turks lost to the mongols & were subjugated by the mongols right? Also, the seljuks were also from present day krygyz/Kazakhstan so they looked similar to mongols except by the time they touched Anatolia they Islamicized from assimilating with his arab/kurd/persian neighbors
Loved this skills. Indian history had always admired by Mongol archers and their horses. Thanks for keeping this alive. Respect from India.
What did you mean?

thanks welcome to land of the horses
What is really amazing is that this has been preserved for thousands of years. The Mongols didn't invent this stuff, they just perfected it. We know it was being done at least as far back as 4000 years ago, maybe longer. Works so well it's still being done today
Cool video, very impressive skills. Imagine an army of 30,000 of these warriors on a battlefield. Makes sense why Subutai with a force of 30k was able to wreck the Rus like they were nothing.
It was 20k mongols vs 80k cumans and rus. Cumans perhaps had same tactics as mongols, so mongols had to feign retreat and ambush, suddenly attacking with force shocking the enemy.
Because mongols were professional warriors at those times
However, they were so successful only because the Mongols' opponents did not adapt to Mongol tactics. Later the Mongols were defeated by the Arabs and then by the Russians.

@@SerkAk how much later? correct me if im wrong, but i thought they never lost a major battle under Genghis khan, or his generals. The Rus were completely subjugated by the mongols, and the only defeat to any muslim force that I know were the Mamluks but that was already after Genghis Khan died and Hulugu khan was running things.
Amazing.... It must be a incredible feeling of freedom

Actually this comes from a long tradition of Horseback Archery that’s commonly found amongst any Y-DNA R1b, R1a and Y-DNA Q men.
So this is basically how all of these men’s ancestries used to be. Germanic men for example were not originally from Europe, but were pushed into Europe by invading Hunnic tribes.
Imagine that all these tribes are really like rival brothers, cousins and such; much like European Nobility was.
Almost entirely related, yet fighting wars to be the dominant family House.
It was found that 4 out of the five bodies found in a Royal Burial from Royal members of The Golden Horde were actually R1b and one of them was Y-DNA Q.
So most Eastern and Western Europeans (Those who come from these aforementioned Haplogroups) used to live exactly like this.
Hence why during WWI the Germans were called Huns by the media at that time.
You can even look at the Equestrian Statue of Genghis Khan built in Mongolia, by a Mongolian nonetheless and he has a far more Eurasian depiction. The same goes for his descendants, like the Mongolian Astronomer Prince statue and many seem to have a common characteristic of Red Hair.
The original Aryans were mostly Red Haired, mixing with East Asian women gave some darker features and Eye Shapes.
I myself am a mixed ancestral lineage of paternal Aryans and Maternal Canaanites/Mycenaeans/Etruscans and Ancient Egyptians who all seemed to share genetic, cultural and historical links and trade routes.
Thus, I’m Y-DNA R1b and MtDNA T2 and this is an analysis on the K6 calculator:
Ancient Eurasia K6
Ancestral North Eurasian: 17.29%
Ancestral South Eurasian: 5.78%
East Asian: .99%
West European Hunter-Gatherer: 41.24%
Natufian: 34.7%
Sub-Saharan: 0%
As you can see I do have a small portion of East Asian, which seems to be associated with Modern Chinese.
This seems to be through Y-DNA Q and MtDNA C, which are both found present in my DNA Autosomal analysis, though at minuscule amounts today.
And the Arabs, and the Bulgarians, and the Persians....
Not all. Because now some Mongols and Turks are part of Russia, so they feel more pride. 😂😂😂
@@Uran_KH-98 I’m pretty sure they’re talking about ethnic Russians, not ethnically Mongolian citizens of the Russian Federation.
Watching this again after 1 year, still one of the coolest video on youtube. Easy top 100, possible top 10.

thanks
Warrior cultures have so much to teach us. This video invigorates me 💪💪

@@Juanchoo-jd6ln Dude, Central Asian Turkish horses can run for a long time without rest, hungry and thirsty. In this way, they went on distant expeditions and were not captured by their enemies.

I love the Mongolian horses. Compact horses, live on next to nothing and run all day.
Mongolian horses have stronger endurance than European horses, and European horses are more explosive
i never thought such tradition is still held there!
it is a good thing they still train their youth - and perhaps the elderly - for cavalry and archery
we, Muslims, know it is advisable by our Prophet Muhammad (PBUP) to train our kids: archery, horse-riding and swimming

Mogols and Türk tribes were great riders and archers. They were nightmares to Chinese dynasties.
For 2,000 years, nomads from the Mongolian plateau were a nightmare for the Han Chinese, and the Great Wall was built to keep them out.
Actually ,in the most time of histroy, nomads were defeated by han Chinese . Han chinese defeated the huns, turk and chased them away the far west from China. mogolian success in military didnot keep a long time,just decads of years, then were defeated by chinese ppl again.
I'm so gratified that this still exists somewhere in the world.
Amazing film , I'm forever intrigued by these people and their journey to here in modern times . I am sure their culture will outlive many others. Amazing footage

It looks so amazing. I had once rode a retired military Mongolian horse. It was sensational when the horse started to run like crazy, jumped over a creek over 10 meter wide.
Wow. Magnificent. Gave me goosebumps all over - truly exhilarating. The power of history.
Now imagine 30,000 of these guys descending upon their enemy in a battle. Arrows flying from everywhere from every direction.
Riding in Mongolia is on my bucket list, for sure!
That would be impressive to hit standing still. The skill they have is a show of great mathematical application of the brain.
I've always heard the descriptions and read about them, but this was a great representation of how they operate and how powerful their skills are.
I just thought how amazing it would be an archer on the horse, then I find this
No wonder they were the best they were so far ahead of there time.
Amazing skills!!!exceptionnal footage!!👏👏👏😀

I get shivers down my spine, when I remember how the Huns and mongols utterly crushed pretty much all rival armies and almost dominated the world.. If it wasn't for the Plague outburst in Venice, I think Mongolia would have taken over all of Europe.
It had rather to do with Europeans and their 10,000+ stone fortresses. Difficult to take with a bow and horse lol.
Very cool disply of riding and shooting bow. I have much Respekt for horses and riders

When you read about worriors from Steppes of Central Asia such as Scythians, Sarmatians, Alans, Yuezhi, Kidarites, Hephthelitis, Turks, Magyars, Kazars, Pechenegs, Bulgars, Kipchak/Cumans, Tanguts and finally Mongols they all used horse archery. They were different nations but shared culture and religion Tengeri
Non-nomadic people simply couldn't support so much cavalry because they would have to grow all the fodder for the horses on farms, whereas the nomads just had to let them graze. So different civilizations support different types of armies.

Remember this is why the Europeans were sitting ducks for the Mongols.
The rest of Asia, but not Europe. Mongol conquest stopped after the east of Europe. Long thought because of the death of the Khan but more recent study shows it was because Europe had an insane density of more than 10,000 stone castles. Utterly impossible to invade by light cavalry.

Westerners don't really hate Mongols (at least those to the west of Poland/Hungary), since they never really got a foothold in Central Europe. Tribes like the Huns, Vandals and Goths still have the names of their tribes carry some dark associations to this day, while "Mongol" doesn't really have those associations.
