Let’s open your legs wider if you get used to pull the bow gradually. You can feel that it become easier to pull the bow with ease.

You can learn the content in detail below the video.

When you do that, you can feel that your posture become stable when pulling the bow.

It is because your hip position lowers when opening your legs wider.  You can keep good posture even though you pull the bow fully.

Try to open your legs wider so that you can get the good posture.

And you can feel that it become easier to stretch out your arms because your back muscle between your spine and your scapular loosen.   This makes it easier to move your scapular outward.

Try to pull the bow more wider.

As best as you can, let’s open your feet angle

If you get used to the posture with your legs opened wider, let’s open your feet angle wider. This makes  it easier to push the bow strongly.

It is because old kyudo master opened their feet angle when pulling the bow and they explain that to open feet angle is important.

Try to open your legs and feet angle wider and pull the bow more strongly with ease.
