Talk:Kyūdō

message: In fact Kyudoka doesn't exactly mean Kyudo practitioner - it means Kyudo *expert*...this seems to be a mistranslation. So higher level Kyudo practitioners may be referred to as Kyudoka, but not lower level practitioners. The actual term for Kyudo practitioner is "Kyudojin". http://riron-kyudo.upper.jp/

::That is actually wrong. Ka (家) means house, family, or home. When you are considered part of that family might differ in this case to other martial arts, but ka does not mean expert. It identifies a person as part of the "Kyudo-House" or "Kyudo-Family". In all other martial arts I know and train in, Judoka, Aikidoka, etc. is the term used for all practitioners.--ZeroGRanger (talk) 22:58, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

message: I cannot (outside of Wikipedia, except obvious copies) find any reference to the first arrow being male and the second arrow being female. To my knowledge, "haya" literally means "first arrow" and "otoya" means "second arrow". 甲 doesn't have any secondary meaning referring to gender and 乙 neither. 甲矢 and 乙矢 have very clear meanings. Without a reputable source, I wouldn't keep that piece of information.

message: Just a note about nomenclature. Kyudoka doesn't mean "person who does Kyudo" or "Kyudo practitioner". It means "Kyudo expert". I know us English speakers like to have convenient terms, but there isn't really one for someone who does kyudo, as the Japanese normally just say "I do Kyudo". For the average person to call themself Kyudoka is innapropriate, because it really should only be used by high level Kyudo people. I've modified the article to reflect this.

replies: text:  Why do you start the same discussion twice? Your statement is wrong. ka (家) means house, family, or home. It identifies someone as a member of the house of Kyudo in this instance. In all other Japanese martial arts, "ka" identifies any practiotioner, independent of grade. In Kyudo people are not referred to typically as Kyudoka, granted, but at least get the translation right. ;) --ZeroGRanger (talk) 23:01, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

message: Hi all, a lot of this page is unreferenced, and possibly incorrect. I'm endeavouring to go through and find references for what I can, and perhaps delete any thing a bit dubious.Deathlibrarian (talk) 11:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
