I think this part of the examination is only the beginning of the 3rd part! 1) 1st practical shooting with 2 arrows - everyone has his own target - you have to hit. If you hit with correct technique you have to do a 2) written and oral exam If you do it well and know all the answers... 3) 2nd practical examination with 2 arrows - three archers - one target (hitotsu mato sharei) - you have to hit. Everyone can understand, that often only 1 of 50 archers pass this exam.
Maybe I can help with the ending. He stands around for two hours, starring at his target. Then he takes another fifteen minutes to ready the arrow, yet another ten to shoot. He misses the target by an inch and realizes that he could have spent his time learning something of value instead.
Are you asking how they score the shots or are you asking how the grade the archers? The shots are only hit or miss but that is not what is important. Posture, breathing, elegance and technique are what really matters.
@@CosmicDust.. they were making a joke, they're probably at least somewhat aware that this isn't about speed. If we're talking upgrades, perhaps a sense of humour would serve you well.
'Dave the battle is about to start get ready' .... ... 'Dave, the battle has started .... what are you doing?' 'Dave .... good news, the battle is over. We won' (Twang) 'DAVE ... You shot me'
the point isn't to actually hit the target, which brings me to my second point , this is ceremonial, you'd think they would do this elaborate stuff to hunt or in an actual Battle field? use your logic people, common sense, though common sense is not common.......

martin saenz The point is precisely to hit the target.
if I may, what makes you think the point not being about hitting the target? The point is to do everything in an absolute flawless, perfect manner, for getting the 8th Dan. That means and includes, of course, hitting.
I somewhat agree. The point is to perfect stillness within yourself. The ability to hit the target merely serves to visibly reflect how well you can maintain that stillness and calm concentration/meditation in yourself so that you're not trying so hard to hit the target. This goes for any arts / "-do" (kendo, judo, shodo, sado). So yes you are meant to hit the target, but I don't think that's the "point" of kyudo
Here's the grading requirements: www.ikyf.org/rule.html Seems the ability to consistently hit the target should be mastered by 5th dan. If it wasn't important, I'm guessing old mate wouldn't bother recording the shots in the background
Lol...at least it wasn't one of those, "On the street..." Or "In the octagon..." Comments. We all know in a mugging or rape situation Kyudo is the best martial art, as long as the attacker starts from 60 ft away.
@@farhadfscz whatsup, here four years in the future to tell you that you're vaginal repellant. I hope you realize one day what an absolute twat you are.
You can hear if they hit the target or not, but if you can’t do that then you can look in the back and see if the guy put an X (miss) or O (hit)… or just don’t watch if you can’t enjoy it; don’t come on here and call it a waste of time when the video is for people who actually care.
All I can say is that your comment is a waste of time since you don't understand that the hall process is about perfecting an art passed down from generation to generation,is not just about hitting a target is about perfecting ich step to achive a state of zen,where the mind is completely focused and unperturbed,and with ich step they take the aim is to rich perfection with less effort.They aim is perfecting the art of archery.

You had to cut it before he let his second shot fly?
I was rooting for him so much!!!
@@NexusDublin same o: did he pass? 👀

A life in pursuit of perfection is a life held in focus.
TOTALLY MESMERISING...UNBELIEVABLE..BEAUTIFUL..ELEGANT...but end cut off?
Cameraman fell asleep.
TOTALLY BORING...SLOW. CUMBERSOME.
The grand sloth army was repulsed and the warriors of Meiji Jigu would live to see another day.
Did they pass?
Would the enemy also be performing some sort of really slow shield ritual?
lmao i'm dead
What are they looking for exactly? How do they score this? Or is it just intuitive that they have some sort of "it" factor?
In kyudo they only score if a shot hits or misses the target.
Are you asking how they score the shots or are you asking how the grade the archers? The shots are only hit or miss but that is not what is important. Posture, breathing, elegance and technique are what really matters.
With the Japanese it's the ceremony and the artistry that's important.
They need to upgrade their weapons because the rate of fire is ridiculously slow

How can a 10 minute video be 3hrs long ?
a circle on the white board means a hit.
Joseph Blyth-Whyte so the second one missed?
@@andreasgunawan691 yes x means miss
Merci, il manque le Hanare pour Ottoya, dommage ...
Even watching at 2x speed took me 1 hr to complete the video
so only the first guy hit the target?
Yup
japan where everything has to be a weird ritual
'Dave the battle is about to start get ready' ....
... 'Dave, the battle has started .... what are you doing?'
'Dave .... good news, the battle is over. We won'
(Twang)
'DAVE ... You shot me'
If that was a battle they'd all be dead before they fired a shot.
This is more like dance than martial art and do you think someone using a bow is in immediate danger in real battle?
@@CocoLarge. How long do you think it takes a horseman to cover 200 yards?

welcome to correct me, but from my understanding the point is to hit the target without ~trying~ to hit the target

Someone in death row would demand immediate execution after the first 2 minutes of watching this video
This doesn't seem very efficient in war time ?
learn the difference between kyudo and kyujutsu
I know it was attempt to be funny . Guess it failed.

god damn it just throw the arrow....: S:S :S
Like watching paint dry
ผอ.
I hope their foe were not in too much of a hurry to get home for dinner.
Hahahahaha ..... LOL..

Good grief....
This is like watching paint dry, slow as molasses. Can't see if they hit the target. Waste of time
