Hello, this is one of Japanese person, and I would like to answer your question. I'm using Google Translate, so please forgive me if the sentence is a little strange. The outcome of the competition is determined by how many arrows are shot by a total of twelve arrows, four for each team of three. That's fine for the tournament, but the essence of "Kyudo" ー "Japanese martial arts archery" is not to hit the target, but to train the mind. Look after yourself, discipline yourself, and see the truth of your heart. Use bows and arrows as a means of doing so. That is explained by the "Dojo" -team to which I belong. Am I answering your question correctly?
@@ssnarashi Posture is one of the points of interest in the pass / fail judgment in the promotion test. Before all the athletes (archers) hold the bow, they start by learning the movements like a video. You will practice how to pull every day for at least a month. There is a word "seisha-hicchu（正射必中）" in the teaching of Kyudo. This means, "If you pull the bow correctly, the arrow will hit the target without aiming", and it is premised that you will not aim in the first place. Therefore, the desire to "hit the target" and the impatience to "cannot win if removed" apply to the so-called doctrinal badness. That's why "Kyu-jutsu（弓術-skill of bow）" and "kyu-do（弓道-path of bow）" are different because you train your mind while mastering the technique of bow. Sorry for long comment. Did I answer your question correctly?
