The 8 steps of shooting for Japanese Archery【Kyudo】Jessica Gerrity 

Sir I'm your big fan Keep it up

昭和５０年頃までは町中にも個人の弓道場はあり有段者の師範もいました、私は日置流を幸運にも教えていただきました、中途で受験勉強のために辞めてしまいましたが。

In Kuro-Obi world, everyone is a hero!

@@stefanschleps8758 My favourite slogan ever!

@@stefanschleps8758 thank you for watching!

beautiful

“Obi wa Kuro Obi.” sounded like ‘Obi Wan Kenobi’ for George Lucas.

Thank you for watching! Yes we decided on English as it's very easy for me😊✨️

My pleasure. Thanks for watching🫶

こんばんは、ご視聴ありがとうございました。足踏は大変重要ですね。私はまだ修正中です。武道の世界では言葉だけではなく色んな共通点があって興味深いですね😊

@@jessintokyo 源流がほぼ同じ『人体の動き』ですから、共通するモノが出てくるのは、納得です。

@@jessintokyo When I looked up Bushido characters, in Pinyin it translates as 'Wu shi Dao' - the Martial Dao. There is a Zen vibe to Kyudo.

Hi there Neil san, thank you you for watching✨️🌱✨️

Thank you for watching. Yes breathing is something I hope to work on this year🤗

Thanks for watching🥰

Thank you! Please try if you have a chance🥳

Without special ordering a bow, the standard draw weights are 8-21kg. The average size bow, nisun nomi, usually is made in 12kg and up. I find beginners usually shoot 8-12kg, 8 for girls 12 for boys, 10 usually for new people over 40. You can special order draw weights higher than 21, I knew a girl that shot 26kg. I'd say on average most people that have done Kyudo for a while have 14-16kg bows.

Thanks so much for watching! I started barebow takedown recurve last year and found many crossovers and interesting differences. I think the application of a martial art with set kata really sets it apart from archery but I love both! 🏹

Kyudo is more like a ritualistic training to focus the mind and should be considered different from Western archery.

@@myunmyun17 it’s a martial art rather than a sport, that’s how I think of it.

It's not sports, but martial arts😅 Order, security, peace

@@myunmyun17 It's almost like a slow, stately dance. And it kills your shins. The formal seiza position has only one knee on the ground; all the strain of keeping the position goes into the shins. Kyudo archers typically shoot in a line of five, each archer waiting their turn in seiza. If you're number 5, it hurts.

There are two types of arrows that are used; carbon fiber and aluminum. They vary in weight, the heavier ones are more powerful but having a weaker bow will cause more drop at distance. There are similarities between western and Japanese brands, like Easton shafts can be used. The only real difference is going to be arrow length; kyudo is generally going to be much longer. Kyudo is a thumb draw, so there is nothing that allows you to hold an arrow, it is limited to just a nock. Also, there are two types of fletching, clockwise and counter-clockwise, (haya and otoya), you should fire the clockwise arrow first, but it often takes years until a Kyudoka has mastered other elements of the hassetsu enough to spare the time to look at the fletching and figure out which is which. I've seen a lot of people 'cheat' and put a mark on the arrow to tell them which is which without looking back to the fletching. (not actually cheating, just not the "right" way)

ご視聴ありがとうございました。 例えば空手と比べると世界で弓道が有名な武道として広まってなく、今回は弓や弓道みたことありませんというような方を含めて動画シーリズ企画したところです。 私は達人ではありませんが、弓道が大好きで、多くの海外の視聴者様からみるとなんとか身に近い存在であり、弓道の面白さと楽しさが伝わると良いなと今回の企画ができてます。 すでに弓を引いてる方からすると物足りないかも知りませんが、今後流派などの特集シーリズもできたら良いなと思ってます。 引き続き応援よろしくお願いいたします。 ジェシカ

@@jessintokyo まさかのジェシカさんからの返信ですか(^^; 確かに、海外では無名の競技だと思います。でも、ジェシカさんだったり、私が弓を始めた初心者弓道教室にもドイツの方が居ましたし、弓に興味を持たれる海外の方々も居るはずなので、黒帯ワールドを通じて世界に広がって欲しいです。私でも何か協力出来る事があれば、微力ながらお手伝い出来ればと思います。

@@user-pr1fn5rp8u ありがといございます。今度は日置流の特集やりたいですね😃先生方に声かけてみます😃

Thank you for watching🥰

Yes and her eyes have a beautiful smile

@@jessintokyo you are welcome jess

@@commando_bender thank you🥰🥰🥰

@@jessintokyo You're welcome and we can feel that the Japanese culture living in your soul, i don't know you but i can feel that you are a wonderful person, i'm glad to follow your channel 🙂

It's for ease of renocking the next arrow

🥰🥰🥰

لا يوجد عربي؟ هذا غريب جدا. أنا آسف لأنني سأتحقق من ذلك.

Obrigado por assistir! tenha um dia maravilhoso😊

*its Maybe you should give the formalism of basic spelling a try.

@@frontenac5083 Actually, it would be "its'" and a misplaced apostrophe is a matter of punctuation, not spelling, you pissant.

The trick to Kyudo is all in tenouchi. By properly rotating the bow in your hand with correct technique, you build torque, and that torque will cause the bow to spin around (ideally, the string will gently slap against the back of your forearm as it completes a full rotation - Jessica does a great job in this video but her tenouchi still needs work and she did not get a full rotation, I bet she was nervous filming for a demonstration video!). The arrow is released as the bow rotates, so it is somewhat away from you at the moment of release. If you have bad tenouchi and the bow does not rotate at all, it can be painful because the string will hit your ear since it goes forward and not around, the feather vanes will often scratch your thumb knuckle as a result, and you can damage the bow from the force of the string slapping it and the vibration shaking it. I've hit my ear a couple times, I don't get target panic afterwards but I know people that do. I just go to the side and practice pulling until I reinforce the correct technique before shooting again.

Thank you for watching 🥰 Haha yes the ASSC! Im saving my money to buy one of their hoodies. I loke OBEY and supreme too but can't afford it usually😂
