When I was in Kamakura, I was able to visit Mamie Mayanaki at her Kyudo Training in Kamakura! As this video is so popular I uploaded a HD version in full 1280x720 px quality, watch it here: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z4aa5gdMUc

  • @minna1973 where?

  • @kedarvideo I would guess its a kind of breathing control and mind focus... just GUESSING, though.

  • im practicing Kyudo in Iceland with ecuador ,mexican and im spanish students!!! it is fascinating...

  • i love watching this type of meditation what normaly is the poundage on a kyudo bow

  • @Sumsar1594 Maybe it helps putting the mind intro a trance and therefore blocking any thoughts that might interfere with your reaction time. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if samurai themselves chanted off like this. For all I know they did it in the movie The Last Samurai during yabusame training.

  • I wish I could learn. I can see the inner values it may add to life itself and one's inner body experience.

  • @gatapunk Maybe it is on its way...

  • I am going to Japan in the Fall. There will be a Kyudo demonstration where I am going, so I will get to see it first-hand. Can't wait.

  • @friskykitty137 Last time I checked about 3 to 400$.

  • Even a cheap fiberglass one will usually run a couple of hundred dollars US.
