Yabusame - Japanese Horseback Archery 流鏑馬

[OtonaGorilla]

馬鹿か。

おちんぽ祭りは神話が元になってんだよ。

巨根伝説でググれよ。こんなロックな祭り世界中で聞いた事ねえぜ­。

韓国にはウンコ祭りでもあるのかな？あったら負けを認めるわ。

In fact primary samurai weapon was yumi. katana was not quite so common

[Emgee78]

Please tell me that was a giant pink penis at 0:29.

[RoninDave]

@Emgee78 indeed it was! It's from a festival in kawasaki! One of these days I'll edit the footage and make a video of it

[frostyoshi]

i don't mean to be rude or disrespectful but @:23 it looks like a dildo :X

[RoninDave]

@frostyoshi it's a type of shrine from a festival near Kawasaki

なんで日本に関する動画になると韓国人が嫌がらせに来るんだ？

韓国とは全く関係ない動画なのに。

Super cooooooool<3

[GsxRaider]

what are the materials in making a japanese bow?such as the bow`s body,the string and the arrow,someons pls?

[battletoads22]

Pretty swizzle. I think I'll try to mimick this with my recurve on my bike.

[LoMo420]

big pink japanese dick at 30 secs lmao!!!!!!

[StratenaMatoha]

Very, very nice.

I think Yabusame must been based on Altai (Turkic-Mongolian) techniques.

@GuamKomudo

Well, in fact , it's wrong. The oldest Japanese bow was in the Jomon ware, about 13000 years ago.

It's called Maruki Yumi. If you have intrest, go Wikipedia.

[raphmaster23]

im also thinking the plains native americans and buffalo.

[SamuraiKnight50]

Ronin Dave. Great Video! western Type music with samurai Yabusame. Very appropriate! Any way I can get a copy of the video?

[gfgfhgfhgfg]

LOL Gunslinger Man & japanese horse archery! :-)

Awesome video!!!

Tnx Dave!

[sudobob]

what the heck is that big pink wang for at the 30 second mark yo?

[RoninDave]

it's part of the opening intro - I always stick bits of other festivals and stuff into the intro like previews or reviews of upcoming and past videos.

That wang is part of a festival held every april in kawasaki. When I have time I plan to do a video on it.

[gambarian]

man, it was like the "Fight Club" stuff where he inserted dicks into movies

awesome!!!

:)

[GuamKomudo]

Isen't that called the "iron penis" festaval? I heard of that before.

[1podNEEDZmodz]

@sudobob i was thinking the same :/

[zdkezios]

@sudobob goddammit japan, you start getting everyone to think, oh this is nice. japan isn't weird, and their culture has a lot of beautiful aspects...but then PENIS. japan, you fucked it up.

[jotanshi]

@zdkezios

the PENIS festival is not traditional one.

I think those villagers are just stupid.

[NoSkillzGC]

awesome! great song choice too :)

[BlackRoninMartialArt]

WICKED! I love Yabusame, you just dont get to see enough of it when regarding the traditional martial arts of Japan. I like the unusual western music also, very fitting albeit in a rather unusual way.

I would love to see more of the same, maybee a vid comparing the similarities/differences between Kyudo, Kyujutsu and Yabusame?

This is another to add to my favourites list

Arigato

[novanine]

Good footage you got + nice use of slo-mo + interesting subtitles = great video!

Cheers!

[frogleap57]

Do they have the national tournament at Sanjusangendo?

[RoninDave]

that's regular archery. They do a type of ritual where they shoot 100 hundred arrows in a day but it's on foot

[kansaiPJ]

Nice video sir. Five stars!

[bartman905]

Nice video Dave.

[TokyoEnglishClub]

nice video once again!

[k1s23]

i love youtube widescreen. cool video, yo!

[HypnoSurf22]

Hi Dave. A few yrs ago I had the pleasure of visiting Kamakura and saw the Yabusame festival. It was thrilling to watch. Great vid. It brought back good memories.

[RoninDave]

yeah, kamakura is one of my favorite places in Japan. It was a bit tough getting shots at their Yabusame event due to the crowds but one of my favorite shots I got there this Sept - about 1:23
