【弓道_2】 2012,12,2 臨時中央審査 矢渡 範士九段 吉本清信先生 【kyudo】 

どうしても、年齢的な筋力の衰えが出てくるものだと思います。残念なことですが、如何なる達人であっても、それは避けられないのではないでしょうか。弱い弓を使用すれば、いくらかは防げるでしょうが、武道としてそれは疑問が残るように私は感じます。

@@user-ve1vc9fo4y めちゃくちゃ前のコメントだけど、武道は鍛えられた精神を持つ人がやるもので武道で精神を鍛えるってのはねじ曲がった解釈だよー

実際の戦闘では、弓術、柔術、剣術などの呼称ですが、 殺傷目的ではなく、道を極めるのであれば弓術、柔道、剣道となります。

Kyudo does not precisely target the center of the mind. It is a martial art competing how beautifully it releases arrows. So you do not have to turn it into a small bow.

"Too old to shoot" is actual. Shooter's arms should not shake correctly.

@@kennsugi The man is a hanshi. You should appreciate continuing to challenge yourself even at an old age with the ability to adapt to increased load on your body and (still) hit the target. If you want something easier, shoot compound.

I have continued Kyudo for more than 40 years and now I am 82 years old. My aim of Kyudo is to discipline my mind. "Correct shooting is necessarily followed by hitting the center of a target." is the truth. When a shooter become old and his arms shake as drawing a string, he must change his bow to more soft one. If he continues to use a bow shaking his arms, shaking may become more terrible and will never recover even if he changes his bow to very soft one. It is too late. He must quit Kyudo. I respected him as a no.1 shooter before his arms did not shake.

Sorry, in the last line I mistook. "before his arms shake" is correct.

Thats how its supposed to be

筋肉の衰えがあるから仕方ないことです
