No matter what race or gender, they all shared the same focus, discipline, commitment and obsession for perfection of enlightenment. Very spiritual. Great post.
@ernstdegroot Yumi bows are great indeed..i own one,too much maintenance i think..i still view kyudo as an overly exaggerated,overly ritualized,unnecessary way to shoot a bow...this silliness was never done in the heat of battle..have u ever seen turkish archers,or english archers,or native american archers..shooting like this?..could u imagine sword fights this slow?..it really makes no sense...just shoot the fuckin arrow already!!!!!!

The guy at 1:00 reminds me so much of Heihachi from Tekken.

Great. The music fits kyudo very good. It shows perfectly how to find the inner self. :)

It's "sex" not gender. People are a sex (male or female) gender pertains to the state of language use. Drop the PC shit.
