Kyudo①〜hidden techniques〜
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2018
- 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.

When the lights came back on, I was expecting to see a dead janitor or something.
dead assasin in attempt to kill the best archery alive
funny as hell.....
Ye I thought he shot the janitor dead when he was replacing the new target with the old one with arrow already in it

This ain't detective Conan my friend
Moral of the story: You don't need to see your target , you just need to know exactly where it is.
Lmao. But seeing is one of the ways of knowing where your target is. Otherwise it's just guess work.
Remember, our senses are what we use to interact with our surrounding and respond to stimuli. So you have no choice but to use them.
I don't think he saw it or knew where it was at all. He just had a lot of faith in his technique, so much so that if he just does what he normally does, it will hit because he's not changing what he does.
Which is kinda true for even olympic archery. Former world no.1 Im Dong-Hyun set world record on olympic recurve with only 1/10 eye sight compare to normal human.
Muscle memory , and practicing on the same range ... same bow ... same weight arrows .... for years ... its called repetition , lets seem him do that 10/10 in a random Forrest , not gonna happen.
@Pouty MacPotatohead over thinking it , like most Asian philosophy does , its just repetition , i can dial on a phone number paid without looking , not because of Kyudoka , but because of repetition .
You all came here from the Kyudo sound of an arrow being fired video

Why does it matter either way?🤔
Kiluaaaaaaa~~
All the world: *Draws the bow from the middle
Japan: *INCORRECT*
Hey if they said it's incorrect then they're right 🤣
*long bow
here's what I found: Traditionally constructed Yumi's are the the shape that they are because they're made of bamboo which is thicker at the bottom. There was no other wood in Japan that grew of sufficient length and no animals to provide sufficient material to make them from horn. Their glue technology of the time was garbage and their materials otherwise sucked. There's actually not much more to it than that.
@@zero_2296 See full video for the reason, that's not the reason.
Nah that's literally the reason. An asymmetric bow has to be held asymmetrically for best results. Also from an engineering standpoint the amount of force experienced by the bottom 1/3 of the bow is going to be the same as a symmetric bow 2/3s the length held in the middle with the same propulsive force. There's no reason to unevenly distrube the force unless the materials you use are stronger on one side, just like the wood and bamboo used by the Japanese.
I am 63 years old now, but still remember the time my friends and I watched film about Kyudo. My parents invested in an archery set for me. Of course being 12 I was demonstrating my archery set for my friends, only I was trying to show off as well. I drew back the bowstring, and before I released, I said, “Look, I am a Zen archer” I released, and to my shock and surprise that arrow hit dead center of the target. And in all these years I could never repeat that feat...
Thank you, this brought a smile to my face. Wholesome.
@@jonathanhyde5547 I forgot to mention that before I released that arrow, I turned my head away, which added to our excitement, when I released that arrow without aiming....too funny
because at that moment your mind and heart was focused on hiting the target so much that the arrow found it.
@@m2nesli that is beautiful to hear such an expression...thank you
Beginner’s mind at its best.
bruh when the kyudo master dude hit the target into darkness i knew this is some wild shit
Not really. He just didn't take his eyes off his point of aim. I did the same thing on my night shoot in basic training hit five out of five.
@@joebloggs5318 dang
You meant fake shit

Oh damn bruh thats some wild shit bruh. Why does everyone on the internet talk like this bruh.

"If the bow is short, it's more likely to break"
Mongolian 150cm bow that was used 40 years straight:
"Dude"
Translation: As a natural result of being an insular, island nation, we lacked the materials and technique to make shorter, stronger bows that are durable.
Bruhhh.. 150 cm in definitely not short..
Stfu
If he pulls it back the same length as the yumi bows, it will break
@@deltazenturo1701 "If he pulls it back the same length as the yumi bows, it will break"
And yet it doesn't have the power of a longbow which is shorter and has a shorter draw length. The yumi is an elegant weapon, but it must be realized that it is the result of limited materials (no yew, for example) and limited exposure to other weapon manufacturing techniques due Japan to being a relatively isolated island.

My high school put a vote of what Japanese sports to be added into the club activities back then. There are 3 list, Karate, Aikido, and Kyudo. When I heard that Kyudo is archery, I immediately signed up for that along with 9 others. Nevertheless, it got overwhelmed by Karate and Aikido by around 40-20..
I still wanted to learn Kyudo tbh..
Karate is Japanese??
@Dietrich Thomas normies. Rest of the boys went to soccer and basketball. And girls into Volley and Dancing.
Too bad shensho do wasn’t included
@Dietrich Thomas ikr? At first I thought why Aikido? It seems that all 4 other private school around mine takes Kendo as their club activities. In order to be different, my school thought Aikido is best. And I'm surprised it's still stand until last year..

Bow sights are so disturbing. I have never used it.
@@user-kl6ee4dd9m I assume they are useful though.
😂😂
@@ExoticDva they are, but its a different discipline entirely. I've had close to 2 decades shooting modern hunting compounds, target recurves, and traditional wooden bare-bows. No one style is inherently better then the next. They all set out to achieve essentially the same goal, hit the target. The difference is how they go about achieving this. You can 'zen' the archer, you can train the body to chase perfect repetition, or you can do the math, learn the mechanics to use a scoped sight, and consistently hit a target well outside the effective range of traditional archery... it comes down to how you'd like to hit what you're aiming at. Personally, I have more fun shooting trad wood bows instinctively (without sights) but at 80+ yards, there's no doubt a sight is insanely useful.
@@staine3255 It also depends on what you actualy useing them for. Shooting for meditation or in a competition or for hunting, or a simulated hunting are all going to have differences.

Now I understand this joke. Glad I watched to the end.
So glad he said kyudo instead of queue dough. Narrators who do more than 2 seconds of research on how to pronounce the foreign words they were paid to read out makes me unreasonably happy.
So triggered.
Imagine how hilarious it'd be if the dude missed the target in the dark
Retake
Probably took many shots at it. Or edit it.
It wasn't hilarious, the old guy would get mad and yell in thick japanese accent: "LETS DO ET AGAIN"
Have you heard the word “asian”?
nobody heard or saw what happened but im pretty sure somebody shouted " MO iKAi" repeatedly
Interesting explanation of why the bow is the size and shape it is, and it developed that way because of the Samurai Kyudoka riding into battle and needing to quickly change from shooting left to shooting to the right of the horse. The shorter lower section was easier to lift over the horse's shoulder, and the bow length added to the bow's power.
Famous horseback archer is the Mongolian archer. They have short bows. Probably Korean bows are shorter. Korean bows shoots over 250m.
@@michaeljung4398all cultures had horseback archers
Sure it would be easier to transition from one side to the other if held towards the bottom - if your bow is 7 feet long, lol
When Master Takeo Ishikawa made the target in the dark my mind was blown, incredible.

I love the fact that they use both eyes and don't wear that one eye cover. No scope no fancy bow balancing. Just pure talent
I'd say not using modern assistive equipment reflects on the amount of effort they have to put in, not their pure talent
@@Dacronhai I disagree, the talent of a modern archer may be just as great but due to the better equipment the accuracy goes up. Both are a matter of talent and repetition!
Narrator: Kyudo is like Judo or Karate, except instead of an opponent, archers face a target.
Also narrator: Driving is like eating, except instead of eating, you're driving.

Driving is not like eating since the former is a means of travel and the latter is a means of consumption. Your analogy is amiss.

Take it from me, this shit is hard af. You have to have exceptional clarity and stillness of mind to hit that shit. Controlling your breath is only the beginning.

Japanese do shit weird. I never cared for their idea of form over function. I get why the culture developed that way but this kind of hyper-specialization tends to lead to inflexibility.
An adequate example of what I mean is the idea of Kantai Kessen, during the second World War. The Japanese Admiralty was so focused on winning the "decisive battle" that they didn't have a plan for winning the war. In the end, they lost the initiative and never got to have their decisive battle.

I've always been interested in archery but after watching tsurune I came to learn more about kyudo and I think it's more interesting than archery. Kyudo is literally an art.
Lar Andersen still more impresive
I love how they still keep their traditions even if it's a 1000 years old while some other countries start to forget their traditions.
Ouch
Japan doesn't lose its traditions despite being ultramodern. Why, because they value their traditions and know how to balance.
societies elsewhere pander too much to 'woke' ideas that falsely label traditions as evil.
I love the bows have no assist,just bow& arrow.
You answered every question I've ever had about Kyudo. Thank you. I am even more impressed than I was prior to watching.
it's all fun and games until you realize that they count the score by your form more than your ability to hit the target
if you shoot the bow in a "wrong" form you literally get disqualified even if you have perfect accuracy
durp hurp That sucks
That's pretty good, I like that about the Japanese, they understand that the process is more important than the outcome
@@_Titanium_ the process shouldn't matter when you're trying to hit a target though. I don't think an enemy soldier is gonna care how you hold your bow if you completely miss them
@@jrunv But they aren't shooting enemy soliders, nor are they trying to be the best at hitting a target. They are trying to balance the mind, body and soul in harmony - and hit the target as a result. Otherwise it would be no different from regular archery but with different kit.
@@_Titanium_ then why bother shooting and arrow or have the target at the end, this is probably a tool at some point in history was used for war. I feel like this is kinda like aikido which would have been used as an actual martial arts form in the past but now has turned into more of a show trick
I would Love to see a "how it's made" on these bows.
a video i never knew i wanted to watch but liked it quite alot
Random ass TH-cam suggestion but you know what I can appreciate what's going on here.
So hitting the target in the dark in “Zen in the Art of Archery” is actually real!
Not to sound like a smart ass, but if you shoot a target from the same position, and at the same range, for 60 years, it probably doesn’t matter if the lights are on
@@AndreasNkleby hahaha that's true.

As someone who enjoys American archery, this is fascinating. I've made my own recurve bow, and have made a couple for bushcraft skills.
This is amazing. The concept of the arrow always finds its target reminds me alot of the native Americans and how they are one with the horse and bow.
This is beautiful
Why does learning about Japan and traditional japanese practices make me so happy
if we think that kyudo is not just a martial art but a way to practice spiritual calmness, theres more to it than just a sport
This just sounds like archery with extra steps.
It pretty much is. Meditative archery, if you would.

@@solargoomba somebody's gonna get laid in college

It's wayyyy simpler than Western archery. Hunters, Olympic type competitors, recurve competitors, they all put so much crap on their bows it's crazy. This is as simple and pure as archery gets.
Very relaxing video, thank you!

That Arrows hit the target is just the result, the most decisive thing is technique. Cool! 😯
Thank you for the recommendations
TH-cam recommends again ! Must say I'm not disappointed 😊
I finally found something interesting to watch today on TH-cam and it's incompl......
The part where they started to explain why they hold the bow a third from the bottom kinda blew my mind. As they started explaining the role of vibrations I was like “oh my god it’s a node isn’t it,” and well sure enough yeah that’s why. Makes a lot of sense, and makes me wonder why traditional archery avoids using the same type of grip in the first place.
Not the only sport that uses nodes, Rifle harmonics are important as well.
did this as a exchange student trip a couple years ago, was a club at the school, dudes had a huge range on school ground, one of the coolest things i've ever done. its surprisingly calming as well, highly suggest the experience.
Beautiful tradition and nice legend explaining the bow size, shape and grip. This all might just be dictated by materials available in the country. As professor Matsuo said, shorter bow from this materials would brake. Grip in 1/3 of the length may suggest, that the lower part of the bow contains 1/2 of the bow strength. This also says something of used materials. In any case, thanks for posting that video.
Yeah the Japanese katana is an amazing invention but it only happened because Japanese iron ore is the lowest quality to be found on this planet. These people have decent skills but are nowhere near the range and accuracy you get with a traditional yew English longbow never mind a modern recurve bow.
Agree
@@joebloggs5318 I'd beg to differ on the longbow and Yumi comparison.
@@joebloggs5318 Typically since a Yumi can achieve the weights of a hunting and or war bow of the English and if possible, may out perform it with certain factors.
@@jonajo9757 I looked it up to be certain. A yumi can send a light arrow about 200 metres. An English longbow could send a heavy arrow around 350. The world record for distance shot by a modern recurve bow is 1207 metres. Distance is one thing, accuracy is another. The Japanese show amazing dedication to mastering their craft so a yumi archer would probably outperform a lot of lower ranked Western archers. But at the higher end longbow archers would win almost every time.
It is absolutely amazing...artistic yet so simple. Its beautiful! With Love from Korea.
This is amazing. Hopefully when this pandemic is over and my dominant arm (shoulder) heals properly - I would love to take lessons. This is amazing.
So deeply an Art of Japan's unique focus on living.

@@twliii1003 that would just make shooting with a recurve harder. Yomi are made specifically with 1/3 shooting in mind.

Just like putting, in golf. 2:20, you build the line to the cup into your stance... then concentrate on the distance.
Accuracy in Archery is a consistent return to battery. High poundage long or recurve bows do not break any more easily that a Japanese bow. They are effective bows, but not superior to all. These same principles have been built into all bows over the centuries. The Japanese bow and traditional arrows are beautiful, and I would love to have one. I am an instinctive shooter, and would love to shoot with a Japanese archer.
Well this is something new to learn about... I do learn archery when I have the free times... rather than shooting my guns at firing range... this video just widened my knowledge in archery...
I am most likely the only one here who actively searched for this video. It was bothering me watching Kagome from Inuyasha fire an arrow and having the bow facing the other way. I needed to know why.

Explanation: in fact, it's really simple. In kyudo, archer "aims" with his whole body, not only with his eyes. Its a correct position toward the target that makes a hit or not. Since he took position before the light were turned off, he could easily hit the target.
It's much easier to be said that done.

note that the yumi or bow is the only asymetrical designed bow in the world, and is shot 2/3rds the way down, it was also adapted for shooting off horseback, and is very respected at one point a good archer was more reveared then a good swordsman, and the bow has many spiritual connotations in shinto the national religion of japan at least offiicially, though its said in the land of the rising sun they are born shinto, marry as christian, and have buddist funeral. the yumi is a good design for what the japanese had to work with in the bamboo and woods they had, the size of the bow varies with the height of the practitioner, and it is not always the 7 foot tall bow you see often, a yumi is used only in ceremonial archery its used only for that like you would only use a chalace used only in church and it accords a certain respect, for example one practitioner would not touch another persons yumi without permission nor step over it it would be like putting your hands on another mans wife, also the two arrows that are often shot in a set of kyudo have fletichings or feathers that will rotate opposet on and other has something to do with the belief that it would cause it to no hit the other arrow.
there are only a handfull of makers of this bow in the usa even, one is jaap kopedrayer and if you tell him you will use the bow to hunt with he will not make one for you says its disrespectful to the type of bow, but he also makes some of the best accurate traditional bows in the entire nation, in fact he made the bows for the movie tom kruse's last samurai, and its shot off the thumb with an ugake that three finger glove you see them wear.
its used this way and yabisami or where they ride horseback and shoot the three boards to try to break them at full run, often demonstrated by monks, or master practitioners, and only rarely.
also it was extreemly disrespectful to dri fire the bow, to test vibrations, and and damage it, it dont matter if its japanese, recurve, or long bow, crossbow, you never ever dri fire your bow.
This is a cool, instructional video, thanks! Since learning about all the horrors of dry firing bows, I noticed the guy testing the vibrations was not excited to release the string lol
Takeo is the 🐐.. incredible shot in the dark makes me a believer
