Chinese Nu Shooting (archery)

Demo of nu shooting from southwestern China. Filmed at a very well organized martial arts show in Japan from some years ago (details of when/where are unavailable) that included demos of rare arts such as Indonesian pencak silat, Thai krabi krabong, traditional martial arts, etc.

It is Japanese show, because you can hear Japanses voices explaining what's going on.

and the Japanese voice tells these are Ethnic minority from China.

that's how I know.

@simhopp these are called Hmong Cross Bows, they are still used in today in some parts of southeast asia to southwestern china.

@fatimmortal Crossbows are said to be invented to shoot out of chariots or other small protected spaces.

yes the voice that explaining the performance is definitely Japanese.

I'm not sure why this comment got thumbs down.

I don't think it's a show. It seems to be a traveling troupe from China showing off minority cultures and those end up just about anywhere like museums even within China.

The audience is seated in front of the archers?

I bet someone will get hurt eventually.
