About this product
Product Information
'The Way of Archery' provides a detailed introduction to practicing archery in the traditional Chinese military style. It explains the basics of how to shoot using the Asian thumb ring: proper posture, training regimen, equipment, and avoiding pitfalls in shooting. The thorough translation and commentary (with original and new illustrations) provide a fresh and practical perspective on Gao Ying's 1637 archery treatise (which, itself, influenced generations of archers in East Asia). The authors themselves are active practitioners of Chinese archery, having spent an endless amount of time and effort vetting their understanding of this old manual and putting its ideas into practice. Through this process, the authors have been able to make this archery text accessible to modern readers. Not only will the reader come to understand the technical side of the Way of Archery, but will connect with the philosophy and spirit of the ancient Chinese warriors. AUTHOR: Jie Tian and Justin Ma have taught and lectured about traditional Chinese archery at archery events in the USA and elsewhere. At the 2013 Flight Archery Championships, they won gold medals and set benchmark records for the Modern Asiatic 50# class.Product Identifiers

Practical and enthralling
Excellent historical translation on Chinese archery, with practical illustrations and tips. Although focusing on Chinese military archery and thumb draw a lot of the techniques translate well for a Mediterranean draw.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
