🧐Frequently Asked Questions About Our Online Lessons:
Q❓: I have no experience with katana. Will I still be able to catch up?
A💡: You don’t need any previous katana martial arts experience to participate in our lessons.
Seki Sensei, the instructor of the online lessons, will carefully give you instructions on how to handle the katana regardless of your level. You will also be able to access all the videos of the past lessons, so you can watch what every other student has learned in the past. You can also send us videos of your progress, and Seki Sensei will be happy to give you feedback.
Q❓: What is the right length of the Iaito (zinc alloy training katana) I should use?
A💡: Please purchase an Iaitō that is at least two blocks longer than the standard length.
The standard length for Seki Sensei is about 177cm, so he should use a 2.45 Shaku long katana. However, he uses a 2.6 Shaku-long katana that is supposed to be used by someone 190cm tall. If the katana is too short, it becomes too easy to draw, which is not good for training.
Q❓: Can I join even if I belong to a different Ryuha style?
A💡: Yes, it’s not a problem at all.
The Seki Sensei himself has trained in more than five styles and various other weapons. If you don’t want others to know that you are participating, you can join the online lessons with your camera off. To have the Sensei check your progress, you can send us a video of you practicing.

I've watched MANY Iaido performances and even attended some classes and I have NEVER seen a draw as smooth as his. This just proves what Musashi said, "A warrior is fierce because his training is fierce." and Seki has certainly trained fiercely. Great content.
It's well practiced as well - CORRECT practice makes perfect (as opposed to practicing something incorrectly makes a bad habit). A famous martial artist once said he was not afraid of a man who practiced 1000 different kicks. He was afraid of the man who practiced one kick, 1000 times.
@@mrthingy9072 I like to say "practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect"
@@alexrobertson557 My vocal teacher always corrects that phrase with, "Practice doesn't make perfect. Practice makes permanent"
@@snakobsings3560 Practice makes progress. The illusion of achieving perfection stops the progress and develops complacency.
Should be! That master surely has trained a lot, and his skills are noticeable!
The principle of being out of time but in sync with your opponent is weird for people to understand. Timing your strikes and movements precisely so your opponent can't react to them is a hard style to defend against. Always fighting from a perceived place of weakness (reacting to your opponent) in a way that gives you the edge to win is such a badass tactic
Seki sensei seems extremely good. Very relaxed "natural" movement while being very clean at the same time. The wakizashi counter with the tachi follow up is something I have not seen and it fantastic as well.
I absolutely love how Sensei smiles as he demonstrates and explains a technique. He loves teaching and obviously has a good heart.
That is a very naïve thing to say. Smiles do not mean anything. Even a crocodile can smile just before it eats you live.
@@badwolf7367 what
@@badwolf7367crocodiles dont even have the face muscles to smile
@@badwolf7367there is hardly any animals that would eat you while smiling
I learned a lot more than I thought I would from watching this video!
Can't get enough of this 👍 Thank you so very much 🙏 Take care. Stay safe 🙏

I'm not a practicing martial artist but I feel that these concept can be applied to many of life's actions.
To meet the peak of your opponents actions is an important strategic thought for outright completion as well as for self development.
I've watched this so many times and I'm learning something new every time.
Love this!
I love you teaching can you do more blocking and striking thank you😊
Really like come core concepts of it.
Keeping things as a reaction (to not show attacker to stop) also make it a more useful self-defense skill, as it teaches you to regain advantage while already being one step too late in a combat situation.
Also, the spinning draw as a huge advantage to offer a lot of protection, from a diagonal or side strike, at any height of the body during the rotation.
(that being said, I feel the double-draw with the wakizachi looks really unpractical, and gives a lot of time to a committing opponent to strike once or twice more before your katana is in place)

Me: Don't even own a sword nor any other kind of weapon.
Also me: Alright, in ready.
Seki Sensei is so cool. I'm so glad you guys are putting these videos out. I'd like to add something, too. In that Taijutsu move, you could also just keep twisting. I've done a bit of Hapkido and I think you could break your opponent's wrist or arm that way. Then he wouldn't be able to draw a sword against you at all.
Super nice.
my dream to learn the samurai arts..so I live in Brazil
3:51 this looks really cool.
Oh man, so skillful and scary. I am a CQB gun handler, blades of steel scare me. Much respect to you guys !!!
those videos send chills down my spine because those are probably actual technique taught to kill in the past, meaning real people got hurt from those techniques
Train bloodless battles that your battles are merely bloody training! 💪😉
This channel is great
Incredible.
this is so interesting, idk how I ended up here but thanks for sharing haha
I kind of wonder how other Kobudo Ryuha handle drawing (or "unsheathing").
Very nice brother ❤
Thank you.
Thank you!
Wow I learned so much
Awesome
Fascinating!
incredible!!
Wow, I can't wait to get my training bokken with sheath's.. I want to get full length one and the shorter one, I forge what they're called. Wakizashi's aren't they?
I have heard of a maneuver called the waterwheel. I don’t know if it’s something made up or if it’s a real maneuver. If it is I would love to see it demonstrated.
Is Lesson 2 when attacking from behind to target the person, not where the person was a few moments ago?
this channel name sounds like let's ask shogo
0:28 ay i know that face!
凄い
very interesting!!!!!!
Can he stop bullets?
This is so awesome but I cringed upon seeing the sword fly out of the saya and hit the ground
Thank you for the amazing content!! Please do keep it up!
So many sword fights are won this way in the street. Thank goodness for these techniques.
Friday night would be suicide otherwise. 😆😆😆
what happens if the opponent is not staged tho? for example: in the spin and attack from the back, the opponent still goes with the downward kata even after seeing that the sensei moved away from it and in the handlock technique the opponent is very cooperative. what if he wasn't?
Thank you for leaving a comment! This is what Seki Sensei was explaining about “this is not a speed battle.” Because he exceeds the beat at the very last moment, the opponent will not have time to change his move. Even if he tries to turn the katana to the left, by then the Sensei’s katana would have reached his head.
@@letsasksekisensei oh ok. so the demonstration is only a comprehensive example of what the technique actually is. because according to the video itself, the opponent slashes down after Sensei has already moved.
@@jaketheasianguy3307 ye. cool. i mean the Sensei is pretty old himself. one of my senseis would always get the top student to show the ''real speed'' of a technique because he was like 55 or something. so I get it.
your exactly right !! Just remember everything looks great when it choreographed.
Looks amazing but here in New York City I don't think I'm going to need that kind of skills in the streets in first place if you walk the street with one of those things the police going to arrest me and other things and can't because if you show one of these do any of these kids in the street they always have I gun
Has he any bo staff training? I'd love to see his perspective on all that can be done with bo bostaff or poleblade of about shoulder height
Yes, Asayama Ichiden Ryu has two types of staff. He is also 7th Dan in AJKF Jodo!
Excellent. Now I know how to defeat you.
I wonder how this would hold up in a real sword fight
Awesome thanks!
We are not learning, just watching, if I have to repeat some of your technique without proper training I'll kill myself for sure.
Long life for Sensei.
As a western-trained swordsman (Scottish Broadsword and Victorian Backsword), I find it very interesting how techniques from a very different fighting system are still applicable to a completely different style of swordsmanship. Thank you for the lesson!
The actual techniques aren't applicable because of the difference in weapon type, but the general principle of quickly drawing your weapon and bringing it into play is still very important to practice for anyone carrying a defensive handgun in the US.
@@connorperrett9559 @Connor Perrett considering I've actually done tests with this technique in the past few days, I can say with a high degree of confidence that the draw is applicable to a spadroon or sabre worn at the side as well as a katana. Nothing restricts the throw draw from being done. (Admittedly it can be a little tough with the broadsword because of the basket hilt)
Indeed, true martial artists are lokking above there own techniques en learn a lot. Well done Mr Connor !!!
@@The_joj I've always figured that a saber is almost like a one-handed katana in how its blade is used to slice unarmored meat.
it makes sense that there would be some similarities in the draw.
I don't think this drawing technique would be quite as useful with my rapier which doesn't exactly want to fly out of the scabbard.
Apologies for my poor wording at times, the readability of my post is not the best.
"If you spin while walking" was so irreverent to sword-worshippers, this man is a gem!
The smoothness of his movements is a sign of mastery. The way he talks about positioning rather than racing your opponent is a sign of wisdom. You got my subscription... :)
You can tell even just by the way he moves that Sensei Seki is absolutely the real fucking deal
I absolutely love this, I honestly thought at first that leaving the sword sheathed was impractical at best but this, this is absolutely amazing. It is one of those things that is soo blatantly obvious that it is overlooked. Don't draw the sword, remove the sheath. It's brilliant and one could probably form an entire philosophy from this. Subscribed and 👍
Not probably. People have formed entire philosophies from this.
Leaving the sword sheathed was important, because Edo period law prosecuted the person who drew first. Drawing faster allows you to delay and be second; thus self defense.
Learned a similar lesson playing baseball. Let the ball travel further to you, reaching for it slows your tag.
Briiliant school of Iaido! This school uses body mechanics effectively.
Watching this reminds me of when I changed Aikido schools. Moving to a style that actually spars and pressure tests techniques was a revelation. A living martial style must be willing to change the classic techniques when a more effective way is discovered.
Aikido make sense when your opponent is trying to restraint your "sword" instead of your "hand".
This is a very rational movement. Even people training in other ryuha can learn from this.
I’m one of those people who still grapple with the desire for “speed” in my swordplay, and I’m finding that while striking first is advantageous, striking fast is not always so. I’ve heard my fencing teacher say many times to “respect your opponent’s tempo”, and I like how Seki Sensei emphasizes it here. The goal is not to be faster than your opponent, but to be mindful of their tempo and disrupt it.
i’m in the same place rn
2:05 wow, sensei is able to spin, block and attack in one move. That’s so freaking cool!
Imagine what samurais and miyamoto musashi could do in battle.
Everything looks great when its choreographed well .
Not practical at all, but it's cool for the students and makes them feel skilled.
But he would already be dead.
@@downtownnikka What is not practical about turning around and drawing ones sword at the same time? Would it have been more practical if he had turned, paused, drew his sword, paused, and then blocked?
It's one of those things that just makes so much sense, you wonder why you never thought of it.
The guy with the pink hair and glasses looks like a cartoon character. I say this without trying to be malicious. Just what popped into my mind when I first saw him. With that said, the video was very well done and as a complete layman when it comes to martial arts, it was quite entertaining.
Hi Shogo, I love the new channel with Seki Sensei! I have a question for you or Sensei: I recently had a custom katana made for me and its beautiful. I want to start practicing with it to draw it and sheath it correctly. Before I spend hundreds of dollars on traditional apparel like the hakama and belt you wear; What would you recommend I use to wear the Katana for practicing? Would you be able to make a short video about this for us "green" beginners? I assume the short answer will be to spend money on correct apparel, but I was hoping we can make something or modify something for the short term until I find a Dojo and Sensei to join with. A Sensei for Iaido or Kobudo is not available where I live. Nearest Sensei is a 2 hour drive away. Thanks for any insight.
My HEMA instructors constantly harped on the idea that the only way to win a duel with weapons was "timing and distance, whoever gets both first wins." All of the swordplay I've learned has been about how to get those two things while denying your opponent the same.
Seeing this is fascinating, as it is a microcosm of that idea: being fast isn't timing or spacing. The turning draw I found most impressive, yes, you are at a disadvantage reacting, but you can control the measure (to close for the attacker to redirect into an effective horizontal swing) and the timing (you can draw and defend at the same time while setting up the next time in your favor). Beautiful to watch being done, even at the slower speeds they're doing.
This reminds me of a friend who did a lot of years in US SF as a doorkicker. They had a mantra: "Fast is slow and slow is fast." Meaning if you rush, it tends to result in less control and thus is slower. If you slow a bit, you get smooth and smooth leads to control and ends up being actually faster.
His footwork is so fast and deftly done...
It appears as natural as the wind.
I trained (Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu) with Kimura-Sensei of the Mei Shin Kan Dojo Osaka back in the early '90s.
Using your left hand to position the Katana for the right hand and moving the sword forward and saya back for efficiency was encouraged a lot.
The younger students would always try for fast and flashy but it lacked the focus control desired.
When these and other techniques are practiced and refined your Kata looks and feels more controlled and effortless.
I'm subscribing in the hopes that you cover even the basics of developing your telepathy, cause very few westerners are taught this, I was only taught the basics but maybe this guy knows his stuff like the old souls did.
I watched the first video you did with Seki Sensei, and I was very impressed with his speed and fluidity. It looks like instead of removing the blade, you remove the sheath; controlling the sheath to allow the blade to remain still and under control. Simple but obviously super effective! I'm going to enjoy this channel a lot, I can feel it 😁
i would love a comparison video with Tenshin-ryū
"If your enemy has a katana, shoot him with your glock"
- Sun Tsu
I'm enjoying Sensei's teachings. That spin draw was fascinating, the katana slides out of the handle with no effort. What for beginners might be dangerous, for a master it's a property to be utilized
Fascinating. There's real science and strategy hidden behind these movements that an untrained person like myself would not have been able to understand without this excellent explanation.
And that's -more or less- how I've successfully defended myself against an ambush last week
Immediately noticeable that both men draw at the same speed, but one does un-needed motions to slow himself down so the other looks faster, more precise, or clever.
This page is awesome! Thank you so much and the English subtitles are excellent! Well done, bravo!
Wow, I am impressed with Sensei skill.
please keep up these style of videos - these are wonderous -- many of us here in the US cant get good access to a sensei that can teach this
I particularly like how emphasis is on moving better rather than faster.
this are very logic movements, always trying to see ahead of the opponent, such a great content!
I agree totally what the folks said about smoothly drawing and adapting speed coordinating both hands when action glance to draw and to slice what ever is the engagement, distance momentum of the situation 👍
That was as beautiful as Japan and her people.
In the humble very few Yosekai Budo lessons I took, the sensei actually told me to draw like that 5:43 , rather than letting the left hand there and pulling with only the right hand.
I guess it's logical sense, though contradictory to some tradition.
These are really cool but it would be awesome to see them practiced in a live sparring scenario.
@@farkasmactavish it's not though because they are actually trained to do that authentically
Hola, podrían incorporar la traducción en español
What he said about Iai is exactly how it was explained to me by my Sensei years ago: Batto is all about getting the sword out of the sheath as fast as possible where Iai is about being able to react to an attack. Love these videos!
Wow. Your sensei moves like water. I’m very impressed.
I don't use a katana but this is incredibly interesting.
These moves are so smooth! You can tell he's practiced many times. Which is the key. Always practice.
For me it's fascinating to see sensei display his skill. It looks so effortless and fluid.
That level of relaxed efficiency comes from lots of contemplative practice. All the true masters I've met have that kind of confidence, without arrogance.
Very nice and fine detailed technique. Thanks!
Wow! After the demonstration, the explanation just made sense. I'm not saying I'm an expert, but seeing a little German medieval time period technique and fencing explained also, I find what works is rather universal...
Wait to counter: AND in fencing, near the end, using your body/ "skeleton" leverage. Also dodge, deflect and hit, etc..
This is really cool, don’t know how I haven’t come up on it before. Subscribed.
If I can describe Seki Sensei in a one word is AMAZING 👍🏻👍🏻
Some of the concepts remind me of other martial arts and fighting practices. Particularly a few come to mind. I have been taking BJJ for the better half of a decade. There are some moments that intuitively look like you would arch your back or lift with your arms to finish a submission. Unfortunately these moments are very inefficient and just don’t work at times. Crunching into the opponent or tucking the elbow(s) is far more efficient and functional. It just doesn’t look intuitive. Also I shoot pistols. Some of the movements seem similar. When doing a mag change it is seen or understood to bring the firearm down drop or pull out the mag and put a fresh one in. This is super slow and lots of waisted movements. Plus target acquisition was lost and now must be re-acquired. Its best to keep the firearm pointed at the target, drop the mag, and replace the mag while tilting the magwell towards your line of sight, and inserting the fresh mag. Still maintaining the target. So no waisted physical movements, no waisted time, and maintaining target acquisition. These little things make a huge difference in the fighting arts.
Very nice taijutsu !

Already enjoyed the japanese Channel. Thanks adding this Format also.
He's unsheathing, moving, parrying and attacking in such a beautiful, fluid motion I can't even begin to appreciate
Thank you Master for strengthening my perfection 🙏👍👏
A similar grab is used with rifles. Locking the thumb and forefinger to the handguard with a clockwise circular motion the guys arm will be locked out with him bent over and the muzzle pointed right at the back of side of his head. With a bayonet attached it's even better...
Can tou imagine how deadly they would be if they discovered fire arms?
