4:33 In rapier, there are blocks where the rapier and parrying dagger are crossed, specifically with the dagger sandwiched between the attacker’s rapier and the defender’s. This allows the defender to easily handle their own weapon while keeping their enemy’s weapon trapped by the offhand dagger.
i have a request for a video, if it's at all possible. there's a weapon that's rarely talked about and that i have seen very little information about in regards to how someone fights with it called the nagamaki - if seki-sensei has any insights to give about this weapon i would love to see a video on it!
@@xia751 yes, you can think of it as a naginata, but half of the length is the blade, and the other half is the handle. Almost 50/50 split between handle and blade
I have such fond memories of training Ikkaku Ryu Jutte-jutsu with the late Kaminoda-sensei both in the US & in Japan. I also recall several embu where he initially used jutte-jutsu to immobilize hiss 'opponent' and then used hojo-jutsu to 'capture' him.
Perhaps a wakizashi or tanto knife, but anyone with status to carry a full length sword would probably not even bother with a bladeless jitte. Duels were between blades, this was very specifically a tool for disarming criminals or unruly ronin. There are even longer jitte that is itself as long as a katana too, that might have been weilded with a shorter one
@@terrydavis5924 I don't know; I've seen Edo-era woodblocks of samurai with drawn jitte who also have sheathed katana in their obi. Could that have simply been an anachronism from the artist? The idea of these tools was to non-lethally capture someone. If someone was really dangerous and it was unsafe to use the jitte, they'd be using the three "capture" polearms - tsukubo, sasumata, sodegarami, perhaps along with the "folding spearhead attached to a rope", the karakuri-jitte. Very few sources refer to it as this, many just call this rope-spear a "jitte" as well EDIT I found a rope-spear referred to as a jujikatsuma (十字かつ磨) but I can't find a consistent source on when it was invented or even its name. Some people seem adamant that it was the predecessor the jitte. It's a fantastic and scarce-known weapon. Look 'em up! They're fascinating to me; a reuse of the wide variety of yari spearheads for less-than-lethal use - to entangle, pull, cut and distract from a distance. Either way, it's likely that policing (and the rank of the samurai asked to do said policing) was widely variable, as were the tools used for said policing - using what is simply at hand or using a very careful and clever combination of all these tools, with a sword being the final, lethal option if capture failed. Hell - many samurai used the sageo rope cord of their katana to bind criminals. There's so many options of weapons/tools in the same time period and so many circumstances where samurai of certain standings would or wouldn't have access to certain weapons. I should think many men who were wearing their katana would've tried to use many, many other tools first, before they went in with a sword. You're 100% right that sword-length jitte existed, you can google "nagajitte" to find 'em.
Love these videos! Good editing, concept, etc. Kudos to the assistant, he really makes his master shine. His facial expressions are also very entertaining. An underrated role that he absolutely nails!
I knew that the Jyutte was used by the police, but I did not know that they had a hierarchical level with regards to the weapon. Thank you for sharing this with us. I have learned something new.
same with brushes and some forms of Buddhism where the head monk has a small brush used for writing religious litanies and spiritual philosophies. While the lowest monk has a large brush for sweeping the floor. /s
I wish you had addressed the differences and similarities between Jitte and Sai in terms of the use of the hook. Maybe, that could be another video? I'd also love to see a video on mancatcher polearms, which are partially still used today to deal with A-holes waving around knives...
I'd love to see some more videos about the police weapons of historic Japan! Many other countries didn't have a class requirement to carry blades, and if they did, their guards/police just used clubs, but I know of several unique staff-based weapons used by especially Edo period police to apprehend and capture suspects that would be very interesting to see in use against a sword.
Great stuff as always! That hook reminds me of the bill on the halberd you talked about a while back. So many ways to use it effectively, both for defense and utility. It's elegantly simple and deadly effective. To echo another commenter, I'd be interested to see a breakdown of nagamaki techniques, but as someone who favored polearms back in my LARPing days, I'd love to see your school's methods for naginata as well.
Catching the blade with the hook is widely used in many jutte techniques of differents schools. But it can be actually quite difficult in actual combat.Using it as a tessen or as a baton to deflect sword attacks is still really effective. Some peoples even think that the main usage of the hook was just to prevent the jutte to slip from the belt, like on tobikuchi. As I studied different techniques during the years, I see the hook on the jutte as a bonus: If the situation allow it, use it, but don't be focus only on the hook as it is only a part of the weapon.
@@recoil53Not really. The thing is you don't attempt to directly catch the sword with the hook, look at Seki's demonstrations closely. You're supposed to block the strike and then drive the jutte into the opponents blade. Doing so will make so their blade slips into the hook, because it has nowhere else to go. In HEMA we have a lot of styles using parrying daggers (knifes with big hooked guards) in conjunction with one handed swords and the idea is the same. You block or deflect a strike and then maintain contact with the weapon as you drive the dagger into it, since the blade has nowhere else to go it slides into the guard of the dagger, then you simply twist your wrist and lock the blade in.
@@franktheprank7336 I didn't say catch in the hook. Trying to block a sword that has some force behind it with a foot of steel and maintain contact isn't my idea of a good time.
@@recoil53 You're confusing videogame blocking with the fencing idea of it. You're not supposed to staticaly block an attack, that's pretty much only reserved for last ditch efforts or to respond to strikes you didn't see coming. When I talk about a "block" I mean driving your weapon into the path of their strike, pushing against it (preferably at an angle instead of head on) to both cut the trajectory of the strike short, and displace it away from your position. If you find yourself too far away to effectively do that, then deflections come in. Were instead of blocking, you straight up bash their blade aside, to violently modify their trajectory away from you (You should also combine this with footwork, to circle away from the weapon as you displace it). In both of this options, the end result is the same. As long as you maintain your weapon heald against theirs, slipping their blade into the hooks is pretty much guaranted (Unless of course they retreat their weapon before you can do so).
You're probably one of the first people I've seen mark the pitch accents in Japanese. As someone who doesn't know Japanese but wants to say these things correctly, thank you for that.
Hey Shogo, got a video request for you. i play a game called For Honor, which has many samurai styled characters, they recently added a new one with a interesting set of weapons and fighting style, their name is "Sohei" and i wanted to ask if you and Seki sensei could look at it and maybe even give it a try! Dont know if you've ever looked at any game content so i understand if its not an option. Either way i love your videos, keep it up!
I would love to see a video of Seki-sensei interviewing practitioners of Okinawan kobudo and comparing techniques and learning new weapons. Or even Filipino eskrima
I have another request: I'd love to hear from expert practitioners of the Japanese war club (Kanabo). I can't find much actual documentation on the techniques or practices, so maybe these guys have knowledge of the art, or know someone who does?
I had a fancy weapon in mind for a while: a Japanese sword (wakizashi, katana, or tachi) with a hook simalar to the one in the jitte, but proportional to the blade (maybe a quarter of the blade length), and maybe sharp at the end. Assuming the difficulties of making such a monstrosity were figured out so the sword feels and acts normal (habaki seals on the Saya right, the hook is attached strong enough to not break off, etc); how would you use it?
I would like to see Seki Sensei try using a Polish saber! It is one-handed, and *prominently* curved, such that there are cool techniques that are unique to curved blades like the saber
I'd be curious to see some of these moves iterated further. Like, when Seki sensai demonstrates a technique, what some of the responses or counters to the technique could be. When I saw that right arm grab, I was wondering if you could shift the grip on the sword to the single lower hand. Which is still disadvantageous, but seems like an instinctive reaction. Or are there ways to gain further control of the arm or lock up the sword from that situation to cement your position? These videos are short, sweet and entertaining, but my curiosity is boundless. Where does practiced technique end and improvisation begin?
They would also use a larger, heavy jutte in battle called a kabutowari, a helmet splitter. Zenigata had one in Castle of Cagliostro because he's INTERPOL. Modern tokushu keibo have a collapsible guard, but they don't deploy as fast as an American ASP.
These all look believable, but I'd love to see them performed in earnest. People I know who are good with a bokken (who have never killed anyone, certainly) are generally able to strike in the blink of an eye. Watching the languid sidestep and tassle-swat is puzzling, as it begins and only works when you've side-stepped a trained person with a blade trying to kill you. No small feat.
Excuse me, but would you mind telling us the name of the assistant who is the punching bag? We all love how well he and sensei work together. Also, has he been doing this longer than you?
Hi, I have a suggestion, something totally unusual, could you try to fight or defend with a French Bayonet M1892 and her empty rifle Berthier. These weapons are rare so maybe you can try something similar from ww1 or ww2 that are rifle+bayonet.
At 2:52 Sensei shows what we would call a perfect Ikkyo in Aikido. That brings me to the question what a ryuha master thinks about Aikido. Is it just a cherry-picked subset of mixed old style’s techniques watered down or does Seki Sensei see a unique and new quality in the system of Aikido?
I wonder if these were ever used against an experienced swordsman though. Imagine fighting someone with a sword with something that's shorter than a rolling pin. These things look very concealable, but at what cost? You are civilian law enforcement so why should your duty weapon need to be concealable? If it were up to me, I'd probably want my jutte to be essentially a wooden katana but with the signature jutte hook. In the considerably little anime/media I've watched of the Japan Edo period, I also seem to remember people/civilian law enforcement running around with long wooden staffs. Makes me think that the hook and kata were invented for peace of mind, but practically the jutte would be used more like a baton, joint locks or blunt force compliance. Not too different than what you would see from a western policeman when they were known less for firearms and more for a baton or blackjack.
Does it ever come across in these videos that these techniques rely quite heavily on an opponent to move fairly slowly and without much actual intent? So many methods of disarming but the instant they've caught a blade, it becomes a 1-man show of "Now watch me spin the opponent's wrist with zero resistance" I have no doubt these men are impossibly more knowledgeable than me, but I've never seen them exhibit these kinds of techniques with more speed than an explanatory crawl. Can we possibly get a video that uses fencing padding/uniforms so it's safe to actually engage at speed?

Looks extremely similar to a dadao. My guess is its application is close to the same. A big sword that can generate alot of power.

I loved that misalignment at 2:17. Very smooth transition with the movement and very small angle and hence difficult to perceive.
The sudden and violet disarming actions are wild, very cool. I never knew before that these were so strong in the right hands!
