My wife and I just moved to Japan. Your videos have been a great source of information. We have started to study Kendo and Iaido and we enjoy it greatly. Thank you for making great content!
As a regular kyudo practitioner in a French dojo following a warrior tradition (as opposed to a more ceremonial style, it makes actually a little difference in the way you hold the arrows or shoot), i'm so happy to see this video ❤️ it's moving, because Kyudo and Iaido are, here, in France, the only two martial art where the French federation cannot give the dans, so we have the honors to meet Japanese sensei once a year, and it keeps the practice really tied to the Japanese culture. I practice both European and Japanese archery, and kyudo actually influenced a lot my practice of European archery with its philosophy! So, yes, your video really warmed my heart! Kyudo is really an underrated martial art!
I'm very curious. How does the warrior style differ in equipment and technique?
I'm an archer who has been shooting bows for several years and I've always wanted to shoot a Yumi. However, I heard on the archery discord that Kyudo schools spend months on form/kata before new students get to shoot a bow. Thought this was surprising since day 1 of any archery class lets you hold and shoot the bow
I’m a kyudoka. Don’t get your hopes down. if you find a teacher that isn’t hyper strict about the “traditional” teaching methods you can begin shooting a bow on your first day. But they will make sure you spend lots of time on the form too.
Yeah it kind of depends on who you find to teach you. I’ve done both in America and my sensei knows Americans can get bored and leave so we do a bit of both weekly.
I started shooting from the first day, but I spent a long time with the basic moves. Unlike conventional archery, in Kyudo it's not that important to hit the target. "You have to hit yourself even before you let go of the arrow".
Googled to find the post, just look up kyudo injuries and that itself explains why form is important. Face slapping injuries are real.
As a practitioner of horseback archery. I have nothing but respect for this discipline. It takes the idea of form to the next level and is absolutely beautiful to behold.
Nice shot for Kyudo archery! I once attended archery extracurriculars in junior high school from 2017 to 2019
But due to the pandemic in 2020, my classmates of middle and I were not allowed to take extracurriculars to prevent the spread of Covid 19
This must have been recorded a while back if you're wearing a jacket 😅
Great video as always - People seem to forget that this has less to do with accuracy, and more to do with self discipline and focus
As a kyudo trainee myself. I have been looking forward to this video. Interesting dojo that is looking like a garage or something.
We do a lot of this kind of stuff in the UK when it comes to archery and raft building it’s something that usually happens when kids are going to school and they will have field trips or go to mediaeval festivals for summer holidays.
Ah what a cool place! Thank you for sharing this and just thank you in general for all of the educational content 😊
As a fan of archery, I'm definitely marking this one
I think this instructor has the right idea. Months of waiting might have worked when everyone lived in villages & had nothing to do until harvest. But times have changed and how can people care about a traditional form when they never get to try it?
Months of waiting also works when it’s part of a mandatory extracurricular activity for your entire school year 🤣

I have been practicing kyudo for two years and I can tell you, it IS very difficult
I just started training in Kyudo a couple of months ago and I still have a hard time remembering all of the terminology and steps, so it was really impressive to see y'all do it all on the first day. I haven't been able to shoot an arrow yet as we're still practicing our form, but this video made me excited to shoot one once I understand the basics a little better.
Love seeing kyudo content! It was cool to see that Tomoko-san still has the muscle memory for kyudo (also shamen is super cool!)
I came across this one day a year or so ago. It was a women's competition. I found it very interesting. It had already started so if there was information/instruction I missed it. This really helped. Awesome.
Like all things in Japan...it takes decades to master ! 🤣
Funnily enough. It’s actually kind of enforced in the rules. I forget the numbers but you HAVE TO wait between tests. But that’s kind of easy cause tests don’t happen very often. EDIT: I just looked it up. For high ranks it’s about a year wait between tests. And for different teaching levels it can be about two years between tests.
Thank you for this video and the charming insight into a hidden mini-dojo!
The owner looks so patient and calm, I would love to have the experience of practicing kyudo in Japan!
In my country we only have a small selection of shooters.
But as we have seen, all you have to do is make something like a garage with a makiwara your own training spot! ❤️
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. I have been studying archery with a Rendezvous period correct long bow on and off for about 3 years. I love it. I tried it for the first time in 2019 at a Northeastern Primitive Rendezvous and I fell in love with archery. I bought my first bow at that event. I would love to learn more about about Japanese archery and to experience it one day.
Wow, love it! Can't wait to try it out.
Nice! I was actually looking for something like this maybe a couple of years ago and couldn't find anything that was accessible to foreigners/tourists just in country on vacation. I'll definitely have to add this to my list of things to check out for my next trip
Great job. Great update
This is awesome! Nice video Shogo. :)
Yay. Finally someone covered this. I thought it was a rumor the last time I visited Kyoto 5 years ago.
cool archery trial place. thanks shogo.
Shogo I started to practice back in my days but now I just look at videos I love the last samurai the discipline you must have to do it right thanks Shogo
Incredible!
I wanna try too 😢
THANK YOU !!! for giving these informations in English!!
That looks so cool!
It's like training with the English or Welsh long bow Japanese style with a clear mind and discipline.
I have "Zen and the Art of Archery" in my personal library. It is all about being able to let go without trying. Eugene Herrigel found it took him a long time to learn Kyudo.
I tried archery once (had around five lessons) and I can say it's hard in general be it Japanese version or not, hitting target on day one is almost impossible unless you have natural skill
You just need the right teacher. I can get my students to hit the target in a day and group in a month at 18m.
Very informative 👍
Wow Looks Awesome.
I love Archery. I would definitely like to try out Kyudo
the thing I love about his dojo, is that's it's literally just a shed. nothing fancy, because it doesn't need to be.
I traveled and met the same person, he taught me Kyudo and then that same day I met Shibata Kanjuro who was only a 10 minute walk from my hotel. He was such an excellent teacher even to people who don't know any Japanese. I have done traditional archery for 12 years but that was my first time doing kyudo and I plan on dedicating time to learn more back in America
Nice. I have to check that out next time I go to Kyoto.
I'm already headed down the path of Kenjutsu, but I always wanted to try Kyudo. But like you said, even after a long time of training, one is rarely shooting at a target at regular Kyudo
I’m learning a lot
Beautiful. The 3 count breath makes it sound very meditative. The safety didn't occur to me. Probably because I ride mountain bikes.
I love shooting my bow here at home but I would love to try this when I go to japan.
Thank you.
Hey, this is right in front of my apartment. I see this place everyday
I live in Las Vegas but my wife is from Kyoto, and I have shot a few arrows, ya, at this Dojo. The owner if very friendly but does not speak much english so be ready with your Japanese. The shop is a bit had to find but your there when you see the big Mato on its side.
I definitely want to try kyudo
My sister and I took a lesson from him while we were in Kyoto last month ❤
Thanks! Kyudo as a sport and cultural art has historical and rhetorical meaning with the content of Japan subject matter that context uses technical jargon. The cultural use of property is very important with special libraries of information as the knowledge base. The mutual concern for digital reference libraries and geo-political science has the preservation of this as importance with all legislative fact within the Japan Government. Public and special private libraries have the concern when this involves foreign non-native language and other technical jargon as subject matter and content. The Ministry of Education, and Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare when the Local Autonomy Act (Japan Law), and National Tax Agency of Japan discern worker rights with property rights. This was in part my experience with Chiba Prefecture and Tokyo Area when book stores and business corporations involve business expense reports for digital archive subscriptions, books, and materials.
Japanese archery on horseback rocks too
But what a wonderful video, congratulations! I loved it, I was looking for information about these practices with bows, and I was in doubt about a modality, you would know something about "Kyubado" thank you in advance.
she is so cute, wow!
If only I had been posted in the area, I could make use of the place
Kyudo is so cool!! Reminds me so much of Kagome Higurashi from Inuyasha ✨ I'd love to try it one day 💞💕
Kyudo and naginata are the budo that I really want to add to my training, but there are no teachers nearby unfortunately.
I trained one weekend Kyudo for beginners but we were not allowed to use a real bow or arrow. We trained the basic movement and use a simple plastic sling.
Such a dojo would have been great to start with the real stuff. Honto desu. My friend who was with me, she continued later on but with normal archery.
I visited this place in Feb 2020, glad to see it is still in business. later on in the same week I went to Tozando and purchased a Yumi and had it shipped back to the UK. In my county there is a martial artist who runs a Kyujutsu dojo. I don't suppose you ever see any value for money bamboo arrows for sale in Kyoto?
👏👏
I have started the archery 2 weeks ago, but we do it much different. :0
I would like to go to Kyoto
Was the Yumi used in Battle ? Or more for meditation and self discipline?
Loved the video .
Both. After the introduction of guns it moved to being almost completely mental. But even before that (dating to the time of Confucius) it was used to judge and train once’s mentally.
Hi shogo, i don't want to be rude, but how old are you and how old are the other team members ? I love your videos ! Continue like this ! 😊
👍
Me after watching Tsurune: I want to learn Kyudo so badly😫
Ei cara se poderia fazer um vídeo contando como era um velório samurai ou que acontecia com uma armadura samurai? Existe uma armadura usada no período Sengoku ?
I'm early and don't know what to comment.
I have been curious about this. can Aikido teach Iaido
I wonder what term we could use to cover the range of sports that includes both archery and Kyudo. "Arrow sports"? "Target sports?" "Bowmanship"?
I'm curious, are there any clubs or societies in Japan who shoot with Tannegashima-Teppo?
Seeing as how Kyudo is so meditative in style, I wonder if there might be a similar approach to the aquebus as well. 😁
I have a friend that has one. I’ll ask about it. But I’m pretty sure his was messed with to make it not work anymore. It may be a similar thing with any that aren’t in a museum.
Could you buy any of the bows there? I’ve been looking to buying one??
Hard to find cheap bows to try out the 38" draw length i'm supposed to have according to kyudo
are all straps tied? no vecro? :-)
How high is the center of the target from the ground?
As someone who doesn't speak Japanese, is this something you would still recommend? I really want to try but don't know if I would be able to understand instructions and the theory without knowing the language
I am reminded of a scene from the anime Love Live School Idol Project where the character named Umi Sonoda is into archery.
Did samurai use flaming torches as a rare weapon ?
is there a left handed kyudo practitioner?
Hello
I really like your channel. I support it. Thanks for starting the channel.
She’s very cute.
How far back in history does this go? Japanese Archery
I've been practicing archery for 4 years before moving to Japan and I really want to try shooting arrows with a Japanese bow. It is my understanding that it is illegal to have bows and arrows (or arrows only?) unless you are part of a dojo...can anyone confirm this please? What if I make the arrows without a stingy metal tip, and just put some weight at the end?
I had never heard this but will ask my teacher. Maybe he never mentioned it because I am a member of a dojo.
With so many steps, the swordsman would slice you already 🤣
That's probably why archers didn't historically frolic around in melee range??
Hi am a 16 year old l want to go to school in Japan am going alone and my parent allowed me is it possible for me to go alone
> Emphasizing his 60 years of experience and high rank
> Plays a slow motion clip of him missing the target
Kyudo has less to do with accuracy and practical use against real targets, and more to do with the execution of the wind up.
what's a dojo?
It's like a giant french fry XD
Japanese term for a martial arts training facility or school, usually with one or more teachers, and also usually following one of many different schools of thought about any given martial arts. What makes it a "dojo" is the residence of a teacher and specific form of martial art. The term comes from the Japanese words dō "way" and jō "place." Or in other words, a "place" where one learns a "way," or "skill." A dojo could as easily be a barn, or a shop in a strip mall. Or in this case, the cluttered up basement of an old man.
@@blackhawk65589 You are a terrible person, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Things like "Brave" and guys like Hawkeye and Green Arrow, got nothing on the art of Kyudo!
I thought it was taboo to hold an arrow if you are not trained?
