Getting people to understand the difference between tension and engagement is always challenging. Also, there can be a great deal of misperception when using terms like 'hips' and 'rotation'. Tell someone to put their hands on their hips, and they will often put them on the iliac crest of the pelvis, or even on their waist. Telling someone to rotate their LEGS will be perceived as rotating their FEET, but to get the engagement you're looking for, it needs to come from the hip socket/iliopsoas as well as glutes, abducters, etc. Difficult concept to teach because of the subtlety. One of those 'less is more' internal physical awareness skills.
Nice!!! I started using the hips engagedment thanks to the advice of a fellow archer. The hips engagedment itself I learned it years ago while I was practicing yoga. But in yoga we build it up from feet to waist. You feel you feet rooted to the floor and from there you tense your tights up while you try to rotate your legs, that motion while engage the hips making them tuck in forward.
This is brilliant. Of course I knew to keep hips stable, but I'll be real, I haven't been keeping tension and I know my quiver jiggles around as I draw. I've got something new to work on!
Jake, I absolutely love your channel and have learned a lot from you. Have you ever talked with Fawn Girard or Dewayne Martin about their bare bow “single string” boot camp? It would be great to see you come in as a mentor or at least attend as a celebrity.
Thanks Coach! Excellent tips. Repeatability is the name of the game!!!! It starts with the stance and progressively moves upward. Not sure if you have done a video as of yet, but would like to hear you talk about the psychology of shooting as well as tuning your bow???? Just joined so your information is remarkable! Thanks Coach and as always please stay safe......
Just watched a video on postural stability presented by a British Olympic archer. He used the example of Korean women archers too One problem with western archers is that very many of us move our head immediately upon release
I remember learning about the locked knees causing blood flow issues when a friend was making a mould of his legs to create a creature costume, locked his knees while plaster was being applied....and lets just say that mould was abandoned.
I agree that movement in the quiver can be a good indication of a lack of engagement, especially on release. However, I'm not sure I agree about the movement while drawing the bow in every case. I deliberately turn my hips during the draw in order to allow better engagement and alignment, so that movement is actually a sign I'm engaging correctly
Hmmmmmm I want to try both and see which feels better overall... I think I have stability issues. It's always worth learning and trying more I reckon 😁
I was a little triggered by the fact that the colors of the bars on the charts did not match the names of the colors... made my eye twitch haha. Aside from that more excellent content!

Exhalation before draw and release, calms my motion control, after release breath. Thanks Jake
I’m just getting into archery and find your videos easy to understand thank you
It really helped stabilize my hips ( 2nd way). Thx Jake!
I hope things are going well for you Jake.
You're doing an exceptional job.
Many thanks.
Thanks for all your videos Jake! I'm still fairly new to archery but your videos have been so helpful in helping me to understand and improve.

Thanks for all the great content Jake, you're a real legend!
Thanks from Australia.

Great video thank you for the advice will definitely be trying this method out.
Cheers jake .another much needed lesson with instant performance benefits .ta
Hey brother man I'm so proud of you I was so over the moon when I seen you release those tiller bolts
Good stuff Jake, thanks so much for freely sharing your knowledge.

Good job
Thanks alot! Great advice as always.
At one point you had recommended stability discs. I watched this video while on said discs. Are they still helpful for archery training?
I remember learning about the locked knees causing blood flow issues when a friend was making a mould of his legs to create a creature costume, locked his knees while plaster was being applied....and lets just say that mould was abandoned.
I've been watching your form series. How do you know if you're doing what you're discussing in this video right?
that part with the quiver was quite the eye-opener ... I have to seriously work on this myself it seems ...
Thanks!
Thanks for the Super thanks!

Question? Does this apply to all archery disciplines? Barebow, Compound… etc?
Also, is tiller tuning an issue with compound?
What do you recommend for shooting sitting down?
Thanks
Thanks for the super thanks! Glad to help!
I practice on top of a hill in the Welsh valleys. If I didn't have a stable lower body, I'd get blown over... It's *windy* up here lol
What is the name of the timer app you used in the previous videos?
Hmmmmmm I want to try both and see which feels better overall... I think I have stability issues. It's always worth learning and trying more I reckon 😁
How did you comment "14 hr ago" when the video was only uploaded barely 15 mins ago?
He had early access through either Patreon or UA-cam Memberships.
@@amrazing33 yup as Jake said, UA-cam membership. It's not much but the only way I can support at the moment and we'll worth it to me 😁😁
This stance is very common in asian martial arts. I feel more stable if I lower the center of gravity by lowering the body a bit. Is that allowed?
Why does my sight dip up and down from center to bottom of the gold? And why does my pin sometimes get "stuck" on the bottom of the target?
Boy you got some nice dance moves right there 😂
😂
And I know you're mostly recurve and turbo I shoot compound and I will some of it really does transform in both
I was once told by a guy who's been shooting recurve for over 50 years to clench your butt to achieve that stability.
thanks for such a good video. Please tell me, what is the strength of your limbs
I was a little triggered by the fact that the colors of the bars on the charts did not match the names of the colors... made my eye twitch haha. Aside from that more excellent content!
Agree! Out of my
Control haha
omg Jake, your left kneecap in articular looks like it has a face!
Just easin’ the tension baby… just easin’ the tension…
