Feeling the push from Yushan Kazuto's hand, Toumori Sanae blinked a little unnaturally.
But after just pushing forward a bit, Yushan Heren let go: "Now try again."
Toumori Sanae couldn't help but blink slightly and looked towards the target again.
Although Hayama Kazuto slightly adjusted Toumori Sanae's posture, he still kept the arrow and Toumori Sanae's line of sight at the same level.
Without much adjustment, Touma Sanae released her right hand.
With a sound of "Hush", the arrow flew out and landed accurately on the target.
"Next time you practice, practice like this. Don't pull the bow all the way to the limit. Leave one or two centimeters of room." Yushan Heren said.
Hearing this, Toumori Sanae couldn't help but blink her eyes slightly, picked up another arrow and tested what Yushan Kazuto said.
The arrow was shot and hit the target. Toumori Sanae nodded, and she understood why she had not been able to hit the target before.
Although it is only a distance of one or two centimeters, it is actually the difference between exceeding the control limit and approaching the control limit.
After exceeding the control limit, it is naturally much more difficult to control the direction of the arrow's flight. Yushan and Ren helped Touma Sanae to make some adjustments. In fact, the fundamental purpose was to adjust the arrow to within the control range of Touma Sanae.
On the other side, Rikka Takanashi also used a half bow, but Rikka Takanashi was slightly bigger than Sanae Touma, so she could still control the half bow, and basically one out of two arrows could hit the target.
As for Shirasaki Hana, Hinazuru Ai, and Yashagami Teni, the half bows they used were even smaller, so they didn't have to worry about the problem of full string.
However, after a closer look, except for the Yaksha God's Heavenly Clothes, most of them have some minor problems with their postures.
After all, Yashashin Tianyi had learned Kyudo before, so putting that aside for now, the performance of the others was actually normal.
After all, bow posture practice often lasts for weeks or even months.
Rather, people like Tsuchima Yui and Toumori Sanae who can quickly master the postures are rare.
After helping Shirasaki Hana and the others adjust their posture slightly to reduce the risk of injury, Yushan Kazuto walked towards the rest of the people.
The standard posture mainly relies on the body's memory. Each person's body's adaptation cycle is different, so it is not something that can be achieved quickly.
As for some of the so-called coordinated synchronization of breathing, heartbeat, unity of man and nature and so on, they can basically be regarded as metaphysics.
It can be basically concluded that any Kyudo gym that promotes this kind of information is trying to flatter itself, but fortunately, Ikebukuro Gymnasium does not focus on this kind of promotion, and pays more attention to movements, postures, etc.
"Rin, why are you holding the arrow between your index and middle fingers?"
After walking up to Shima Rin and observing her archery posture, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but speak.
"Is this... not possible?" Shima Rin looked at Yushan Kazuto and couldn't help but say.
"That's not impossible." Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly. Shima Rin had learned the simplified version of Mediterranean archery without any instruction.
"But with the technique you're using, it's best to involve your ring finger as well. If you only use two fingers, it's easy for the string to come off due to lack of strength." Yushan Heren said.
The shooting method of the Japanese bow is Mongolian shooting. In fact, this is also a common shooting method in East Asia. It is called Mongolian shooting because the Mongols brought it to Europe for the first time.
There is no difference between Mongolian archery and Mediterranean archery. Although the experience of shooting is completely different, overall, the difference between the two is just one of left and right.
Shima Rin is just experiencing Kyudo, so she doesn't need to understand it too deeply. As long as she can ensure her own safety and experience the feeling of Kyudo a little, it will be enough.
It’s just that the Mediterranean style of shooting is usually done with the bow shooting from the left, but the Japanese bow is for shooting from the right, so the combination looks a bit awkward.
Yushan Kazuto also tried hard to hold back his laughter, and after teaching Shima Rin the standard Mediterranean shooting posture, he quickly left.
Chapter 1747 Hui's Personal Trainer
As if influenced by Yushan Kazuto, Shinomiya Kaguya also began to teach everyone the archery moves.
However, Kaguya Shinomiya seems to be unlucky, as the students she chooses are not very outstanding.
Although the distance was quite far, Yushan Kazuto could still see that at this moment, Shinomiya Kaguya's face was full of black lines.
With the previous experience of Kaguya Shinomiya as a lesson, Yushan Kazuto, who originally wanted to go over there, changed direction in time and went to Kato Megumi's position.
In this environment, Kato Ena's low presence became more obvious. She had been in the dojo for almost an hour, but no Kyudo teacher came to give her guidance.
However, Kato Hui was not annoyed, after all, she was aware of her own situation. No one came to guide her, so she stood aside and quietly watched the actions of others.
When the Kyudo teacher came over to instruct others, Kato Megumi also learned a little from the teacher.
Therefore, overall, Kato Megumi's posture looks quite good.
It's just that you can't look at it too closely. After all, without guidance, all Kato Megumi can learn are some formal things.
Kato Megumi did not do a good job in many details.
Fortunately, I was lucky and didn't encounter any problems when practicing alone, unlike Doma Mai who got her ears pierced.
Walking up to Kato Megumi, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but ask with a smile: "How was it, Megumi? How was the experience?"
"It seems quite interesting." Upon hearing this, Kato Megumi took the arrow that was originally on the bowstring and responded slowly.
Although I have seen Kyudo performances on TV, this was my first time experiencing it myself.
Kato Megumi felt pretty good about trying these new gadgets for the first time. Except for the fact that she couldn't hit the target and was a little nervous when shooting arrows, she didn't encounter any major problems in other aspects.
"So, your personal experience is pretty good?" Yushan Heren smiled.
Kato Megumi nodded, took the bow, and looked at the target again.
The target was empty, but there were a few arrows stuck randomly on the hard sponge wall around the target.
Even someone as calm as Kato Megumi would feel a little embarrassed when faced with such a situation.
"Actually, it's quite normal. The accuracy of the bow itself is not very good." Yushan Heren blinked slightly and then spoke.
Kato Megumi couldn't help but look at Yushan Kazuto. The problem was that she had already finished a round of shooting. This was the second round, and in the first round, she didn't hit the target once.
Even if, as Yushan Kazuto said, the accuracy of the bow was not very good, it was still a little outrageous that not a single arrow hit the target.
Yushan Kazuto stood aside, staring at Kato Megumi: "Do the movements again, I'll help you a little."
Kato Megumi blinked slightly, and then started to do it according to her memory.
Before, he had only seen it from a distance and Yushan Kazuto thought that Kato Megumi's movements were quite standard, but when he looked closer, he found many problems.
I originally thought that only the details needed fine-tuning, but now it seems that there is more to it than that.
"Tighten the bowstring and keep it as close to your chest as possible, and keep the bow, bowstring and bowstring on the same plane." Yushan Kazuto said.
Kato Megumi blinked slightly and tightened the bowstring a little.
From the observer's perspective, it will feel like the bowstring is a certain distance away from the body.
But in fact, that is a visual deviation. In fact, the distance between the bowstring and the chest is very close.
Kato Megumi just watched the Kyudo teacher teach others the movements and imitated him, so it was inevitable that she would make mistakes in this link.
However, every step of Kyudo is strictly calculated. If the bowstring is not tightened and the other movements are performed with barely accurate accuracy, the overall coordination will be destroyed.
After tightening the bowstring, Kato Megumi also vaguely felt that something was not right.
Now thinking back to the close-up of the Kyudo performance I had seen on TV before, the bowstring was very close to the chest.
But before, I was imitating the movements of my Kyudo teacher and didn’t think about these things.
Staring at the target, Kato Hui released the arrow. As soon as the arrow left the string, it flew straight forward.
With a "swish" sound, the arrow still stabbed into the hard sponge wall, causing Kato Megumi to blink slightly.
If there is no difference, this arrow looks obviously straighter and is closer to the target, so it should be an improvement.
If there is any difference, it is that this arrow, like so many previous arrows, missed the target.
Seeing this, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile. Kato Megumi was a little too hasty.
Originally, Yushan Kazuto was planning to continue correcting some of Kato Megumi's mistakes in details, but he didn't expect that Kato Megumi was in a hurry to shoot.
In this case, it is normal that he did not hit the target. After all, what Yushan Kazuto pointed out before was just a big mistake in Kato Megumi's posture.
The rest of the small details may not matter, but they may also be the decisive factors between hitting the target and missing it.
Just like just now, Kato Megumi's way of holding the arrow was slightly incorrect, which caused unnecessary friction when it left the string, causing it to miss the target.
Looking at Kato Megumi, she found that she had no more arrows left, as she had shot all the arrows in this round.
Yushan Kazuto then trotted over to the target and shot Kato Megumi into the hard sponge.
All the arrows on the wall were pulled out. When they got closer, Yushan and Ren found the small holes scattered on the hard sponge wall.
Because Kaguya Shinomiya was about to visit, the dojo specially replaced the hard sponge wall.
In other words, these small holes did not exist before everyone entered the dojo. Yushan and others also observed this during their previous practice.
In this case, there is no need to explain the origin of these small holes.
Fortunately, the arrows stuck in the sponge wall are relatively easy to pull out. If, like in the ancient Chinese legend of Li Guang shooting a tiger, the arrow is stuck in the stone, it would be more troublesome to retrieve the arrow.
Of course, that possibility does not exist. After all, the bows used in modern Kyudo have very low poundage.
The lowest is less than ten pounds, and the highest is generally no more than thirty pounds.
With such power, it would be a pipe dream to want to penetrate rocks.
Looking at Yushan Kazuto returning with the arrows, Kato Megumi showed a rare look of shyness on her face.
After all, I shot two rounds, a total of twenty-four arrows, but none of them hit the target. It's really hard to talk about.
"It's pretty good, after all, there's no professional guidance from a teacher. But when I was practicing just now, there were still a lot of flaws in the details. After correcting them, there should be no problem."
However, Yushan Kazuto walked over with a smile and put the arrow in Kato Megumi's hand.
Chapter 1748 The Three Sneaky Men
I have to say that Yushan Kazuto's guidance is still very effective.
Under the guidance of Kazuto Yuyama, after correcting some of her own minor problems, Kato Megumi's arrows finally started to hit the target.
Although the hit rate is still not satisfactory, with only two or three arrows hitting the target out of a dozen, the improvement is already very obvious. Kato Megumi herself is actually very satisfied with the results she has achieved.
The group continued to experience the experience until around four in the afternoon, and then left reluctantly.
If they didn't need to go home before heading to Vittorio's cabin, Yushan Kazuto wouldn't mind everyone experiencing it a little longer.
However, from another perspective, the nearly three-hour experience is pretty good.
Although Kyudo is not a very strenuous physical sport, it is still tiring to practice it for such a long time.
Most of the people were novices, using fifteen-pound bows.
Although the poundage of the bow is not high, its size is still amazing.
Just during the experience, raising the bow and shooting dozens or hundreds of times is enough to make one's hands sore.
Not to mention, actually, there is no problem in pulling a fifteen-pound bowstring a few times, but pulling the bow repeatedly and frequently is actually very physically demanding.
After returning to the locker room, untying the horn belt and taking out his deposited items, Yushan Kazuto discovered that Yuuki Asuna had called him several times more than ten minutes ago.
Looking at the red missed call, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly and quickly called Yuuki Asuna back.
The call was connected after just two rings. This was in stark contrast to Yushan Heren, who couldn't help but blush.
"Asuna, why did you call me earlier? Is there something wrong?" After taking a deep breath, Yushan Kazuto asked.
"It's nothing. I was just approaching your house, Kazuto-senpai, so I wanted to confirm with you, Kazuto-senpai." Yuuki Asuna said.
"Um... I'm still outside. Have you come in now?" Yushan Heren said angrily.
"Auntie Haruka is at home, I'm already in." Yuuki Asuna said slowly.
"I'm sorry, I was practicing Kyudo and didn't bring my cell phone into the gym." Yushan Kazuto said.
Yuuki Asuna smiled and said, "Auntie Haruka told me all this. She also asked me if I wanted to go to the Ikebukuro Stadium to experience Kyudo. But I thought it was getting late and you guys should be back soon, so I didn't go."
Hearing this, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but take a breath. Before he could speak, Yuuki Asuna continued to ask: "Kazuto-senpai, is your experience over now?"
"Yeah, it just finished. I'll be back soon."
"Then I'll stay at your house and wait for you to come back." Yuuki Asuna said with a smile.
Yushan Heren responded and hung up the phone, but his eyes were flickering.
He didn't expect that Yuuki Asuna would arrive so early. Originally, Yuyama Kazuto thought that Yuuki Asuna would come only during the dinner party.
……
I drove all the way home and opened the door, and saw a row of people sitting neatly on the sofa.
