muito obrigado pelos encanamentos seki sensei estou seguindo o caminho da espada ja faz 4 anos e n sabia dessa forma do parry até estranhei de primeira mas dps entendi mt obrigado irei treinar ainda mais
😮Absolutely Brilliant 👍This will really help 👍Thank you Shogo Sensei 🙏 And love the music on these 👍 In fact, we love all the music 👍 Take care. Stay safe 🙏 John and Kate
I’m devouring these videos and practicing daily. Years of sparing and backyard cutting practice… I’m good at sniping hits and getting hit in the hands. I only say that to say: my footwork is awful and always has been…. I am truly grateful for your labors of getting this art to the world… and me. I need an iaito… and then I hope to join classes! I’ve always dreamed of being proficient with sword enough to become in instructor so I can live life with much more sword time. I’m retired. I’d love the dream opportunity. Oh this went long.. apologies, but again, sincere thanks to translator and Sensei!
I think a lot of people after repetition will notice the footwork and body alignment come naturally. I noticed myself when practicing something simple like chudan uchi with a sai. Eventually my body began adjusting beyond the simple step to zenkustu dachi and strike. Things like hip movements, posture and movement of the knee to name a few. Come to find out these were focused on at higher levels. It's like our subconscious competence and body itself guide us where we need to be.
@@letsasksekisensei thanks; correct body mechanics is always key and with the added weight of the big bokken I always want to be extra careful. I’ll follow along at home slowly ;-)
I am let handed/dominant. Feels very awkward having the right hand be main hand for sword. Is it ok to learn left handed or should I adapt to the right hand?
If you're self teaching, do what you want. No one can judge you except yourself. If you plan to join someone else and their teaching, do it their way. Simple.
@Erduk I'm asking I guess if it all puts me at a disadvantage? With kickboxing it helped me to make it open engagement rather than closed and threw people off. I would like to learn not just to pass a test but be efficient

My HEMA gym is big fan of your videos. Keep it up
Great exercises for everyone, even if you're not one of the online class members. A good workout and you get to practice/ learn katana fundamentals.
Tem aulas on line fora essas do youtube? Como faço pra ver? 😃🙏🏼
Another amazing addition to the training exercises! どうもありがとうございます
Sensei makes this look easy
But just watching makes my wrists and forearms burn!
always excited to see seki sensei !
He does it so gracefully and it seems all very effortless, smooth and skilful. Beautiful to watch.
Thank You all very much for what you do ! 😊
Oh man, my daily training regimen is going to get a little bigger lol
Thank you for your videos.
I'm taking lessons every Sunday and have wondered what to do for daily practice this video is perfect, thank you
Love these exercises! Can't wait to add these to my daily training! 🙏
This complements my personal practice, thank you so much!!

Great video, will be using it starting today
This may be just the warm-up to kick off my aikido practices with! And if I can translate these practice strikes to atemi . . . this sky is the limit!
Simply beautiful

Thank you.
Thank you for these exercises! Now that the weather is nice I can try them out in my yard.
Totally great
Yeep lets go
These are excellent lessons thank you!
Osu!!! Thank you
Спасибо за хорошее объяснение и интересные упражнения!

wow thank you!
I will practice.
Excelent video, could you maybe do how to fight with nodachi video please?
Doing the migi-jodan will burn your forearms up! My gosh this is tough!
I'm going to try these with my bokken . . .
🙇🏻♂️🙏
Okay it's been bugging me a while. Is that Yuko Suzuhana?
Yes
@@michaelalexander9175 Sweet thank you.
Yes, she wrote the opening song for us and visited our dojo! ua-cam.com/video/iDh5GPRJRSk/v-deo.htmlsi=ygXl_nSHjoHub7S0
Shogo, would you still suggest each of these exercises with a medium size suburitō? Should any be excluded if you are using the heavier sword?
If you could correctly use the axis of your body to swing your katana, then you should be able to do all these exercises without a problem!
@@letsasksekisensei thanks; correct body mechanics is always key and with the added weight of the big bokken I always want to be extra careful. I’ll follow along at home slowly ;-)
Man, it's unfortunate for me that the katana is almost constantly swung downwards like that, makes my low ceiling a bit of an issue...
