'How to' Video on Chinese Archery

Post by Stephen Selby » Tue May 18, 2010 3:50 am

In response to many requests to give Chinese archery tuition (most of the time I can't), I've provided a basic outline on YouTube. If you have comments/questions, it would be better to post them here than on YouTube directly, because I can't keep monitoring YouTube. See the links in the posts below.

Thank you, Stephen, for taking the time to make these videos. I really enjoyed them and I found them very informative and useful. I always wondered about the Chinese technique and this is the first time I see it on practice. Now I see what's the 5 point technique. I didn't know the arrow is located at shoulder level, lower than any other archery discipline.
Also, it's impressive to see how a strength bow really looks like. I've seen them before on pictures but looking one next to a person really puts things into perspective!

Thank you, Jiao.

Next week (May 29-30) I shall go to the national traditional archery competition in Hangzhou. (Will you go?). I will take the video and ask people to upload it as you suggested.

Very excellent. It must have been fun making those videos. I especially enjoy the nocking explanations and the humor at the end of Part 2. (Granted, lots of animals don't enjoy having arrows waved in their ears.)
