How Samurai Combined Shuriken (Throwing Darts) and Katana Techniques
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 гру 2023
- Many people think that ninjas, the Japanese spies, used Shuriken. However, Shuriken-jutsu was something that samurai trained in, too.
So today, Seki sensei, the 22nd headmaster of Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 400 years of history, will introduce to us the various methods for Shuriken and how our style uses Shuriken as a distraction in a fight with a katana. Throwing something to create an opportunity to attack was called "Ganmaku (eye curtain)" in our Ryuha, and Shuriken were sometimes used. How Seki Sensei combines the Shuriken throwing and our unique katana drawing technique called the “throw draw” is probably something you’ve never seen before, so please watch this video until the end.
By the way, tickets for the 3-day training camp in Japan held by Seki Sensei and Let's ask Shogo are now on sale! Check out our Patreon page for more information!

I've heard people talk about this, but this is the first time I've seen someone pull it off so fluidly.
Thats real Skill. Of you want see something real fast. Look at the fastest Shooter: Bob Munden. That Guy is amazing!
Seki Sensei is one of the sword saints in this century
I love the precision and fluidity of Seki Sensei - the mastery over his body and the weapons he uses is incredible, he makes it all look so effortless. But, of course, this is anything but!
Truly grateful to UA-cam algorithm for showing me this channel.
I think this video was important because it also shows that throwing shuriken were not necessarily intended to kill or harm the target. If they did, great, but my understanding was they were more a distraction, one you could not ignore if you wanted to avoid injury. I see anime fans of shinobi shows often argue over why waste all the time throwing kunai and shuriken if they 'never do anything' before being deflected or blocked. A kunai blocked or dodged is movement sapping energy and interrupting flow that is not focused on your opponent.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Seki Sensei's skills are a spectacular inspiration.
After seeing this video, now I know how to throw the needle like shuriken, and its very educational too
Thank you very much! ❤
Where can i purchase those kind shuriken
Thank you, your videos are great, please keep posting them!
Incredible
Yes! This is awesome. I do the same thing. I throw overhand and underhand but cross body diagonally because it brings my hand to the handle for a draw cut. I use shaved down galvanized nails as shrunken no spin throw. My throwing ability is only two sword lengths distance though but I think it's enough for a throw to draw cut.
I would love it if Seki Sensei reacted to the fight scenes in Blue Eye Samurai!
Good informative video :D
I'm taking my larp character in a more samurai/onna-mushi direction after being gifted a katana-styled (straight) sword and was hoping to learn how to combine shuriken with a large sword and this was exactly what i was looking for! Tysm for sharing ^-^
Shogo san!
Love your content!Good to see a UA-cam channel with Japanese showing authentic Japanese martial arts.
There is a UA-cam channel called Fandabi Dozi, it shows how the highlanders of Scotland lived.Maybe you and Seki Sensei can do a Japanese version and show how the ronin lived.That would be an interesting topic!
Thank you!
Amazing content😎💚 its always a great time watching your lessons!
I noticed the draw in the last video, it reminded me of the zatoichi draw, I was thinking the reason was what sensei explained it to be.
This is impressive 👀 超かっこいい! ✨
Very informative. Thank you. I am curious. How did the star-shaped Shuriken come to be associated with the Ninja. Is there history there or is it sheer fantasy? I’ll try to do some reading up on the topic in the meantime.
As far as I can tell from the limited resources I've been able to find on this, the kind of Shuriken used doesn't really matter, nor who uses it. The distinction and use of Bo Shuriken V.S Star Shuriken is well documented by Samurai. In all likelihood, the idea of throwing stars being solely a Ninja's weapon probably came out back when the word "Ninja" was invented by Hollywood, tho the groups we come to associate the name with did exist historically (or some of them anyways)
@@FireStar-gz2ry Thank you very much. I had begun to suspect there was more than a little fantasy behind the Hollywood portrayal.
@johnguss6087 Honestly, from a historical standpoint, shaken/kurama shuriken/etc... are a murky topic. Bo shuriken are a well documented item, with some later ryuha (Negishi Ryu, Shirai Ryu, Chishin Ryu, and so on) even specializing in their use. Shaken, though... There's not a ton of historical evidence for their wide use. There's a school of thought that says they were developed as an esier-to-use shuriken, or a shuriken for beginners. As for their connection to shinobi, generally speaking, there's not much of one. Shinobi specialized in espionage, and their physical martial arts were mostly apart from their shinobi arts; they trained in the same martial arts as any other bushi would. And most shinobi WERE bushi. Make no mistake- The idea that ninjutsu was developed by peasants is a misconception. It was developed by rural bushi... mostly in Iga and Koka... in a time when the Japanese class system was not as rigid as it was in the Edo jidai.
Muito obrigado sensei por compartilhar seu conhecimento!
Amazing! ❤
Feliz natal 😁🫡🇧🇷 que Deus abençoe vocês
Second lesson ! Thank you !
As always, very impressive. Thank you!🙏🏻 greetings from germany.
At work i mastered the art of screw driver throwing i could be totally deadly with one.
Could a handful of sand work in the same way if it's thrown at the opponents eyes?
They have to react to it, it might obscure their vision, and it's a nasty surprise.
I certainly wouldn't expect an opponent with a sword to use sand of all things as their opening attack.
In short: Is pocket sand actually effective?
I enjoy these explorations of Samurai fighting techniques and tools. Watching Seki Sensei effortlessly maneuver and fluidly attack or defend while explaining what he's doing is much more informative than 'static' displays with little explanation. I have a question that I hope he can help explain. That question is, How were Samurai used in large battles. I expect that they, being considered an equivalent to a western medieval knight, would be used as heavy cavalry, but is this really how they were used? What techniques do Samurai use in such close combat, where there range of motion may be hampered by fellow soldiers nearby? I would love to see a kind of tactical overview on Samurai in the pitched battles of the Shogunate eras.
Ganmaku and battojutsu will be deadly
Where can I buy these
Do you need to be apart of the online lessons in order to take the training camp in may?
No, anyone can join!
they had to reupload because i was hit with a stray shuriken last upload. I'm ok everyone
Arigato, keirei o7
Well, my mother just asked me why you bow to your phone.
Where is the safe buy katana
Adam Celadin approves of this video.
.Thank you.
Excellent 🙏... Respectfully I have a slight disagreement, an adept thrower should technically be able to throw from any angle including underhand/backhand as demonstrated in this video regardless of shuriken type or size... I have many videos demonstrating this thank you 🙏
How match cm metals
👍
I can do the underhand method the best. It's the easiest for me
Arigato!
❤
Like.
Now i just need to see this in sparing... Of course use safety, itd be bad to see someone hurt during practice
Why the reupload? 😅
The 1st one had editing error that table of contents didn’t have text.
The challenge 1982 there’s a scene with them practicing this
Why nowbody ever created a shuriken thrower in a sword hilt?
Plot twist, Ninja were Samurai.
👍
