Kyudo for beginners. How to wear Muneate.

 For beginners in Kyudo, how to wear the Muneate.

What to prepare.

Dogi, Muneate, Hakama

An important point on how to wear Muneate.

Muneate is not something that you have to wear.

I don't usually wear it.

Before wearing the Muneate, always wear the Dogi carefully.

I'm going to put on the Muneate, please use the string Muneate, not the rubber Muneate.

Rubber is dangerous because it gets caught and stretched.

Muneate wears from the right.

Fix the left side.

Make sure it fits tightly so that it is not loose.

Make sure that there is no space between your chest and the Muneate.

If it is loose, the Tsuru will get caught in the Muneate and be dangerous.

The chest and Muneate should be close together.

Let's look at it from the back.

This is what the back looks like.

If the Muneate is worn in the middle of the chest, the Tsuru may get caught in the left knot.

Pull it to the left so that the knot is behind you.

This way, Tsuru will not get caught in the Muneate.

Muneate should be fitted especially on the top.

Tsuru will pass through there.

There should be no cracks on the left.

When you wear Muneate, it is difficult for you to notice if your dogi is in disarray.

This is completed with the Dogi firmly in place.

It's done.

Thank you for reading to the end.

How to do Torikake. Kyudo for beginners.

 For beginners in Kyudo, this is an explanation of Torikake.

What to prepare.

Yumi, Tsuru, Kake.

This section explains the important points of Torikake.

Try Torikake first.

If done correctly, the posture can be maintained even when the left hand is removed.

At this point, the arrow and the floor will be parallel.

There are three points of support.
The first point is Kake.

Next, the part where the bow and arrow touch.

And the left knee.
It is supported by these three points.

Suppose the arrow was pointing upward.
As shown in the picture above, the tip of the bow does not rest on the knee.

If you try to do it forcefully, you will end up grabbing the arrow like this.
This is not just Torikake.

The point of doing Torikake correctly.

The front of Torikake is important. I put my hands on my waist.

Move your hand straight to the desired position.
Do not draw an arch.

Then attach the Tsuru to the Kake.

Then attach your fingers like this.
This is Torikake.
This is where Syaho begins. This is a very important movement, so please practice it carefully.

Thank you for reading to the end.
