이 제품 한국산이 아닌 폴란드 산입니다. 폴란드 회사가 한국의 조선 초기 전투용 활을 연구해서 재현했다고 합니다.

So, I am a Korean watching the video about a man from Malta using Korean traditional bow made in Poland. What a wonderful world:)

Hi, I'm a South Korean and I really enjoyed this video. In the past, many Koreans including women and children enjoyed shooting bows and it was our tradition. I heard that we had the advanced technique to make the traditional bows but we lost many things during the Japanese occupation(1910-1945) and Korean war(1950-1953). I always wanted to learn shooting traditional Korean bows but I couldn't have the opportunity to learn it. Thanks for your video. It was very interesting for me. Hope you try more traditional Korean bows! Have a great day :) [P.S. Many people say that Korea was the country of Bow. China was the country of Spear. Japan was the country of Sword.]

Wow... to think a Polish bowmaker have done a thorough research on the early Joseon bow, and replicated it with modern materials to the small details and also includes historical texts in Korean language in the package. Love the effort on the authenticity! Amazing bow maker and an amazing reveiw!

I can feel the power of the bow in the sound of the bow

역시 솔직한것이 제일인거 같다. 좋든 나쁘든 진솔한 리뷰가 100% 좋다

Very beautiful bow and another top notch review. Thanks to Armin, I think I am going to have to build another bow rack because I've run out of room on the last one I built. My house is now practically an arsenal for a 13th century army.

You're right, Armin, this bow fits you perfectly! 😀 Incredible bend, reflex and overall look! Simply Wow

Good to see Korean bows are acknowledged in Europe. You got further into using that thumb protection(깍지), I really appreciate that.

It is said that the string material of the bow during the Joseon Dynasty was made by synthesizing cattle tendon, cattle horn powder, and cotton thread with an adhesive. Then you can control the tension of the string.

This just popped up on my youtube feed. I know nothing about archery...but this man seems like a master. His shooting seems so smooth, and with such ease.

I love how excited you are. I still get that excited when I pick up my mongolian mounted recurve bow. I'm going to try a Korean although it doesn't look like there's much difference between them but I'll give one a go

2:18 translation : - A precious artifact which has the most perfect condition of Joseon Military Bow( Warbow) - It had arrived around 1910 to this museum, and surprisingly it had its bowstring on its place since then, and until now. - This artifact may let us know that the thing around the entire bow is the core(not sure about this since I’m not a bow expert), not the string. - Although the upper piece lost its strength so that the balance is leant to the lower piece, this shows us the representative character of our ancient military bow(Warbow) which is winding up the Hanji(one of the Korean traditional paper) around the middle of the bow handle, instead of just thickening it. By the way, there was a documentary in here about korean bows and they suggested about the Korean Horn Bow made with sculpted Water Buffalo Horn was the best. Ever heard of it or interested?

Man I love this guy. His review is so chill and his voice is so good. What a review

I've been wanting to get a good look at this bow for awhile now and I am not disappointed, now I'm tempted to get it 🤔

I don't know why this videos was recommended to me but I enjoyed it. KZfaq magic I guess. The your bow and shooting got me interested but I stayed for the beautiful background. The ancient walls, green foliage, and colorful flowers. Where ever you are it's a beautiful place.

Wow~ perfect score for Korean bow !! Your testing method for bow is very scientific and very impressive to me.

thx for the nice and professional review! That bow looks like a masterpiece :)

말투가 먼가 밥아저씨가 생각나네요..영어라 이해는 못해도 듣고만 있어도 마음이 편한해지는ㅋㅋ

I think Lukasz Nawalny is the greatest bowyer today...I like the mongolian design more, but this korean bow design is 60/60, what a perfect bow👍 love your review Armin

영어는 잘 모르겠지만 우리나라 화살이 위력이 세다는 건 알겠네....활 예쁘당.구독하고 갈게요 +헐 뭐야 좋아요 왤케 많지?

07:50, in Korea, there is a legend that like Excalibur it tells there was a bow no man could get the string on it but one day a man showed up and done it, later day he established a country named Goguryo

This is one of the most beautiful bows you have reviewed until now!!! Still waiting for the vid with your top 10 😉

I have no idea about bows but you look so happy which makes me happy too

정말 멋진영상 리뷰 감사합니다. 전에도 다른엉상을 봤지만 한국활을 다루니까 너무 재밌네요. 한국활장인이 직접만드신 조선 각궁도 꼭 리뷰해주시면 좋겠네요.

Hi, I'm a Korean archer, it is good to see this kind of cross-cultural exchange among traditional archers. The thumb ring you are using (which is the 'female' type) should be used with your index fingers over your thumb, not with your index fingers over the protruding part of the ring. It should be used just as if you were pulling with your thumb, and the ring merely adds a bit of protective layer on your raw thumb skin. You would need to buy or make a 'male' type ring if you want to use the grip that you use in the video.

Simply superb review Armin, I am undoubtedly persuaded...

Wow....I'm Korean I'm very impressed with your video. Your posture using the bow is very elegant and dignified!!

Every Korean city has ranges, mostly have more than two Have a visit there and try it all of club members and instructors are welcome you guys The place call 국궁장( bow shooting range)

Awesome bow. Some people in the warbow community say the weight needs to be a certain amount like 100lbs but I disagree, it depends on the culture that used the bow for war. In this case the Koreans using 60lbs is historical accurate

I am in love, just a beautiful bow now I need this in my collection. Keep up the good work my friend

The KZfaq algorithm brought me here. His bow is excellent and his voice is so gentle.

I was already a Nawalny fan. Now I must buy this bow. Great review.

Swietnie video! Cześć~ jestem koreanski. I used to do korean archery a while ago. It is quite astonishing a polish is reviewing a korean bow. You seemed quite experienced with various bows, some details were out of my expectation. I hereby write some additional information that might help. Hope it would be helpful somewhat with my lack of knowledge and veterancy. To begin with, you should know a major purpose of korean bows was horseback shooting. For that, they had to be short(easy to carry while horseride) and flexible(to gain more energy with that short body). This is the reason body is made of two different materials(normally wood and bull's horn) since inner and outer body parts take different pressures(easy to understand if you think of aircraft wings). As to shooting stance, you can't shoot an arrow stably with two-finger pulling on a horseback. That is why you pull sling with thumb in a fist. The wooden piece in a box you present early in this video is used for pulling thumb, and it is called 깍지(ggak-ji). There are two types of it, each called 숫-깍지/암-깍지(Sut/Am). Tho there is no official/formal format of stance(due to data loss and regional difference), most ranges and masters recommend you to pull the sling just before end of arrow head, which means you should bend the bow til it goes like ㄷ and arrow-tail must be placed over your chin unlike western stance(if you have choosen proper arrow with length and head weight for your bow). Unlike modern(western) archery stance in which your body toward 90' from target, your body core should head about 45' of the target. Ah and! Normal shooting distance for korean archery is 145m! Dzienki!

Just wow, beautiful bow! I love your excitement, excellent review. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing ...

Awesome Bow Armin That is a real Beauty it is putting more in notion for one

어렸을 때 양궁부 들어서 연습해본 적 있는데 화살촉 분리되는 것 때문에 생각보다 돈이 드는 취미고, 저런 공간까지 있으면 여유가 있으신 분인듯. 한국에서도 역대 왕조 귀족층은 활을 거의 필수 교양과목으로 했으니 테니스, 골프와 함께 상당히 귀족적인 취미활동..

One of the best bows in the world. Thanks for the nice review.

Certain bows 🏹 are just a magical experience like that. It's like it's a creation made exactly for you to complement you in every way. It targets in so naturally, and the only thing that restricts you is your own skills and time with the bow 🏹 And proper arrows to match

코로나를 이겨내면 한국 활장인님과 궁시장님 만나면 너무 좋아하실것 같아요

A truly Beautiful Bow!! Nice and Quiet right out of the Box too!! Well Done!! Very Cool "League of Archers" embroidery on your shirt too!!

Great channel, nice to see it is growing

Korean styled bows seem to combine many of the desired qualities of 'traditional' bows (speed, light weight, draw length... etc) ... but at the cost of being more demanding of the archer to shoot.... I don't have a Korean Bow (yet)... but this is on my wish list.

I am more impressed by the beauty of this bow than by the power of it.

That is an awesome powerful bow

This is an awesome bow from Poland!! Love it.

Al recommended it. Beautiful korean bow and beautiful review.

Nice Video. To show my appreciation, I translated the Korean words in information paper at 2:18 . This is the valuable artifact the most preserved Bow of Joseon Military Forces. . It seems that the museum had obtained in 1910s, and surprisingly the string have been loaded until now since exibited. . By this heritage, what revealed is the stuff coiled whole bow body is not 'string' but 'Sim'. (Sim is the tendon of cow.) . The upper side arm of this bow is more curved than lower side arm but the handle is not thick and is wrapped in what is assumed to be HanJi. (HanJi is the Korean traditional paper.) These characteristics show this is the typical Korean Military Bow.

Korean traditional horn bow is made with oak, bamboo, mulberry trees and attached tendon outside and horn of water buffalo inside of the bow. The bow is attached with fish glue. To protect from moisture, the bow is covered with the bark of birth tree or peach tree. Of course, you can see Go-Ja(고자), which is a kind of shock absorber.

Packaging is spot on! 패키징도 뭔가 고급지게 잘 했네요 ㅎㄷㄷ

조곤조곤 리뷰하시는게 빠져든다

So professional!!

The bow is not originally a direct-fire weapon. It is a howitzer weapon. The distance from the target is 145 meters. There is also a way to shoot arrows called pyeon-jeon, which was introduced in the movie "War of the Arrows(2011)".

Wow. I love this video. Korean bow is beautiful and strong.

glad my culture left such a strong bow. Thank you for nice review

When you're actually a Korean and there is Armin Hirmer being more Korean than you are.

What a beautifully shaped bow! It is well outside of my “justifiable” price range, but thanks for the great review, so that I can enjoy it vicariously through your excitement. Cheers

Thankyou for introduceing this bow I always understood the Korean Bows were laminated with wooden elements but the Horn Bows being more for cerymonies/cerimonial roles?The price is not dramatic but can be afforded for the quality you get.Well Done Sir,Be Blessed.

thought u got a carbon one, but actually that's a quite traditional legit one. nice..!!! im glad u introduced the '깍지' as well.

아저씨 너무 멎있습니다!! 점잖으면서 차분한 분위기에 그 솔직한 감상과 설명 실력을 발휘 하시니 구독할수 밖에 없게끔 만드시네요

Hi! KZfaq algorithm brought me here! Thank you for reviewing great bow! And your review and skill are great too! I'm really appreciated by your knowledge of bows. And I felt like I learned about bow by James bond's villain hahaha Awesome! ^^b

Beautiful bow! Great video!

Thanks for the nice review!

Amazing Bow! Korea is also known as the Country of the Bow with regards to its military prowess and was famous for waging and winning wars against numerically superior enemies with its mastery of the bow and military technology. All the founders and famous military leaders of various Korean empires and dynasties were amazing marksmen. Jumong of Goguryeo or Holy King of the East Jumong was said to be a legendary marksman and had a bow that only he could use. Hyeokgeose of Silla, Taejo of Goryeo, Yi Seong-gye of Joseon, Emperor Gojong of the Empire of Korea, Admiral Yi Sun-shin, Kim Yu-shin, Yeon Gaesomun, Kwon Yul, and Eulji Mundeok are historically known as skilled archers.

Ahhh...nother wonderful bow from Lukasz! I want to have one next year, something to look for in 2022! 😁 Am I mistaken, or is this the first bow reaching 60/60 points? The thumbring looks beautiful as well! The box for the ring is showing how much passion Lukasz brings into his masterpieces! Thank you so much for the review, Armin! Enjoy! 🏹🔆

Such a beautiful bow!

ive only seen very few of his videos and i can tell he loves this bow

I can see your love toward the bow :D

우리나라 대한민국 활이 좋다.그래도 알아주는 외국인이 있어서 고맙다.👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷👏👏👏

I am Korean. i'm so happy to see you use my country's bow!

The shooting sound is very light and good. I can feel the taut string. If you like to know more Korean warbow and arrow, I recommend to searching for "애깃살" . I don't know it's English name. but It's a secret ultimate arrow. I think you like it.

일단 유투버분과 폴란드 회사가 감사 하네요. 고증 연구하는 분의 말씀에 따르면 임진왜란 당시에도 전쟁에 사용 하는 궁은 고자가 영상속 선고자 방식(한국 몽고 터키), 사냥 레저용은 현재 대부분의 국궁들이 사용 하는 평고자 방식을 썼다고 합니다.

wow, it's beautiful !!

Thank you for introducing Korean bow.

what an elegant chill bow shooting video!

This look amazing. And you have to admire the original one when you see the limb doing almost a full circle at rest, this is to show how far the craftsmanship went back in the days.

정말 멋진 활이네요.. 기분좋음이 여기까지 전해져옴. 조선의 워보우는 흑궁이고.. 이 활은 각궁보다 살짝크게 현대식으로 재현한 활 같네요.. 오히려 이쪽이 관리하기는 편할듯.

When I was in elementary school, I went on a field trip at school, and I definitely remember having fun with the Korean bow. Thank you for the good review. Have a nice day. (use of a translator) 옛날에 학교에서 견학 가서 활 쏴 봤는데 ㄹㅇ 활이 휘면서 화살 개빨리 날아가던거 생각나네요

love your review!!

I noticed one thing after watching your video. The scenes in the movie when a flying arrow is hit with a sword are nonsense. I enjoyed the video. Forget the internet experts you see in the comments. Real experts don't talk like that.

난 활시위 당기지도 못했는데 정말 잘쏘시네요

Absolutely gorgeous bow.

Just a review vid though, it gives me a satisfying feeling. I don't know if it is his voice or the rustling unwrapping sound, but It is pretty much like an ASMR video to me.

I am Korean. You've reviewed the Korean traditional bow, thank you very much

Dear Armin H. --- I recommend you to Try "Pyon-jeon" < 편전/ 片箭 / Shorty Arrow/Half Arrow > - The best Korean Arrow- lethal weapon.

Love the bow! Fine art and craftsmanship from Joseon era (조선시대) in Korea. It's no secret that Koreans are among the best archers in the world. As a Korean-American, very proud indeed. Thank you for sharing.

in the Mongolian Draw, it is recommended that you use a scapula, spreading the bow and string from the top of your head, rather than pulling the strings using one arm. Also, it is recommended to aim at forward or 45 degrees.

조선 각궁은 갑오개혁 이후로 실전되서 지금은 만드는방법을 모릅니다. 현재 만들어지는 전통 각궁은 민간용이라 군용이랑은 차이가 있음. 물론 현대기술과 소재로 그 당시 군용 각궁 쉽게 재현 가능하지만 전통 방식은 지금 현재 아무도 못만듬.

The bows I saw in Korean TV dramas and movies didn't seem that powerful. I didn't think it would kill someone. But after watching this video, one arrow is enough to go to the next world.

Beautiful bow!

Hello, I live in South Korea. Thank you for the video. Have a nice day!

love the slow motion !!

In Korean archery ranges, the targets are 145 meters away (about 150 yards). You are supposed to aim way higher. You will be able to enjoy that nice bow even more if you can try further targets.

Welcome to the ASMR archery channel! I love it!

구독해놓고 조용한 asmr 듣고싶을때 들어와서 보는데 만점 나온 거 보고 깜짝 놀람 ㄷㄷ

급작스럽게 유튜브가 날 여기로 인도했어요. 비슷하게 끌려온 한국인들 몇명이 보이네요 :) 이런 종류의 리뷰영상은 처음 보는데, 한번도 안멈추고 끝까지 봤네요. 재미있었고, 좋아요 누르기와 구독도 했습니다! (번역하기 쉬우라고 단어랑 구문을 정리하는게 이렇게 빡셀줄이야...ㅋ)

Great video! Does anyone make 100- pound draw weight Koreanwarbows? Thanks!

The bow is amazing I just wish it had that short korean brace height.

I will have to say that's the prettiest Korean bow you've ever reviewed! Wow!!!! Nalwany bows are works of art! Armin you one lucky bastard! Thank you so much for the excellent reviews!!!
