Alright, here I go with english again...
To
really have Yabusame in Germany, or anywhere else outside of Japan, is a decision that lie in the hands of a select few people in Japan. To have the
Yabusame-style (be it with practitioners of Yabusame or otherwise) is an entirely different question. I can easily see EOCHA being a stage where this takes place.
The method for this would be to take inspiration from the World Traditional Archery Festival where, aside from some competitions open for all traditions, they this year had selected a few countries speicalties as being the ones to have exhibitions.
Right now we know that all countries where mounted archery was part of the military also had training which included shooting at low (lower or same height as the archer) placed targets while going at a pretty fast pace. This goes for the mongols, turks, koreans, japanese, magyars, etc, etc. Some differences in terms of distance from archer, how many targets, and so on, exist - but the fundamental similiarity is there.
Just as a slightly reworked korean version is now standard at competetions in Germany, I can easily see that reworked or even traditional versions could be part of EOCHA and other similar events in the future - but rotating between them from year to year (unless an additional day is added to the event), and allowing everyone else to "have a go" as well. This, then, also goes for the part that the turks are more famous for: Qabak (provided a large and safe enough field is available) and, of course, Yabusame.
Doing something like this allows those of us not from one of those traditions to better understand them, it also allows those from within a specific tradition to better understand similarities and differences, and finally it allows the preserving and even furthering of (or reviving) of these traditions within the confines of a modern competition.
This would allow someone from Japan to show and practice Yabusame, while at the same time choosing another bow and technique for mogu, yet another technique for the standard three korean competitions, and finally yet one more for hungarian.
At the same time it would allow me to try out Yabusame with relevant equipment and technique, change to perhaps a self-built saami or novgorod bow (that is: two-wood, recurved with or without sinew, as those two are from my own maternal side cultural sphere) for standard korean, and another lighter bow for hungarian.
Something like this seems like the best of both worlds, I truly believe.
As a last note on Yabusame in this:
The technique used with that glove is in all respects the same as one can do with any of the types of cylindrical thumbrings - like the Qing which has been well described over at ATARN, but unlike the tongued, grooved or the "male" korean (sugakji), since you don't really bend the thumb in the glove or with the cylindrical ring - and thus the step over to using the fundamentally same technique with a different bow for other pusporses is not a big one. I bet deep knowledge of different techniques would in fact be an advantage.
Just as some practitioners of kyudo could probably kick ass with a lot of people if they were allowed to use their bows at FITA-competitions only for longbows
