In the yard of the Hombu Dojo of the Organization “Taiyou e no Michi”, this Saturday a seminar was held on the topic of shooting with a bow and arrow (Yumi Ya).
Ten members of Bujikan Macedonia took part in the event, which focuses on the study of the skills of using the Yumi Ya from the school of Togakure ryu. The techniques were practiced using a handmade bow (Maruki Yumi), a short ninja bow (Hankyu), and a Turkish bow, all with the goal of understanding and overcoming the differences inherent in these tools.
Shooting was done from four different body positions, on a target at a distance of ten meters.
Already for the next seminar, it is planned for the shooting to be done with some new hankyu bows which will perform far better than the current ones.
