Okay i will help by subscribing unfortunately i can not donate yet but hopefully this helps you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us all seki sensei and shugo 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
The last part was bullshido, when the opponent steals the katana.
Why would he ever twist his hand like that to put himself into disadvantage.
He would just pull it out and back at the same time to make distance in reality.

GREETINGS FROM UKRAINE 🇺🇦🙏☦️
From Zaporizhzhya ® legendary homeland of Zaporizhzhya Cossacks TRUE legendary freedom fighters of Europe.
Today it's war zone 💥💥💥🪖
TRUE Cossacks spirit is still alive I enjoy much watching Iay technique thanks to great 🏆 Shintaro Katsu who played zatoichi. Outstanding 💜.
The initial speed of the katana is incredible, this material is not as useful in the Scherma Storica I practice but for sure will be a strong inclusion to increase my overall skills in sword fighting.
I'm really inspired by the manga named Shigurui and found a strong connection in some stances, hopefully I will find something worth to include in my personal sword style
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!
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
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.
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
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
"If you spin while walking" was so irreverent to sword-worshippers, this man is a gem!
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?
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.
This is a very rational movement. Even people training in other ryuha can learn from this.
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.
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
I particularly like how emphasis is on moving better rather than faster.
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.
His footwork is so fast and deftly done...
It appears as natural as the wind.
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.
It's one of those things that just makes so much sense, you wonder why you never thought of it.
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.
He's unsheathing, moving, parrying and attacking in such a beautiful, fluid motion I can't even begin to appreciate
Aikido make sense when your opponent is trying to restraint your "sword" instead of your "hand".
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 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
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 😁
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!
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.
I learned a lot more than I thought I would from watching this video!
The subtlety in the movement plays trick on the eye and you just don’t see how it’s faster….then you see it. Master in action. Thanks for sharing
Can't get enough of this 👍 Thank you so very much 🙏 Take care. Stay safe 🙏
John and Kate
Wow, I am impressed with Sensei skill.
Sensei is such a funny guy . It’s very subtle
Seki has such fluid movement whenever he draws the katana
These moves are so smooth! You can tell he's practiced many times. Which is the key. Always practice.
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 👍
Wow. Your sensei moves like water. I’m very impressed.
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
Wow he truly is a master at the sword. So much to learn from every little one of his movements.
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.
If I can describe Seki Sensei in a one word is AMAZING 👍🏻👍🏻
this are very logic movements, always trying to see ahead of the opponent, such a great content!
And that's -more or less- how I've successfully defended myself against an ambush last week
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.
Man, Seki Sensei is actually cool to the point he gives me chills.
This page is awesome! Thank you so much and the English subtitles are excellent! Well done, bravo!
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'm very impressed with Seki sensei. I really hope he can organize some sparring session though, that's what kenjutsu needs.
The discipline, the willingness to learn, the respect for your elders… all things we could use to learn in America.❤
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..
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
I've watched this so many times and I'm learning something new every time.
Love this!
フォローし始めて、一週間くらいしかたってないんですが、もう浅山一伝流を学びたくなってきました。
Yes! I’ve found my new obsession. 😊
"You win battles by knowing the enemy’s timing, and using a timing which the enemy does not expect.” - Miyamoto Musashi
The Sensei's teaching in this clip reminded me of this quote.
I used to wonder why all katas in Karate began with a defensive move. Now I know. As explained at 3:23-..." it's not about speed, the opponent moves first then you react to the attack. You must make them think they will win, until the LAST moment, where you make up for the lost speed, exceeding the beat of your opponent!" You hit him when he least expects, when his defensive muscular structure is relaxed, when his organs are exposed to the force for that fraction of a second. What an eye opener! Now my katas make perfect sense, its slow/fast movements. The empty hand becomes the katana.
This is excellent content for our Shinkendo class too.
i would love a comparison video with Tenshin-ryū
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)
Please do tessen and shuriken content, Shogo San.
The kakushi buki are always enlightening
Skillful swordsmanship!
Very nice and fine detailed technique. Thanks!
I'm a karateka. This is very fascinating!
I've been practicing this technique for years. I knew it had to have been done before though I'd never seen it. For Kozushi I throw a piece of washee/paper. Looks cool. Thanks.
Man, talk about " the Economy of Movement" - very efficient...much respect. 🙏
Fab clip. Who knew ‘iai’ in Iaido was about the mind and not the sword? That’s a great insight. The essence of kyo-jitsu in the advice on timing. Thank you.
One of my favorite videos! I learned a lot and still have much to learn. Thank you both!
Thank you Master for strengthening my perfection 🙏👍👏
2:05 obviously my favorite part.
Thankyou for that lesson I will train👍👍💜
I stumbled upon this channel and wow...I am happy I found it. This are fantastic training demonstration from someone who obviously loves teaching.
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 is really quite incredible. Seki Sensei's technique is superbly measured and graceful.
Amazing, very practical.
That was as beautiful as Japan and her people.
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...
I wanna watch a real sparring match with these techniques used in real time. Its hard to convey to camera the utility when watching rehearsed lessons.
I love it
Such a beautiful art that goes so perfectly with Aikido!! Thank you.
I'm blown away by his swordsmanship.
Utterly brilliant. So informative just watching, but also very well explained.
I love you teaching can you do more blocking and striking thank you😊
Hard to imagine how insanely good some people must’ve been after spending 20-30-40yrs fighting irl with swords and knives just to stay alive. He’s got such a smooth draw it’s crazy
This is really cool, don’t know how I haven’t come up on it before. Subscribed.
The movements are so smooth, it’s very satisfying to watch.
The taijutsu at the end is very interesting to me. This is not just the exact technique that we have in Aikido, gyaku-kotegaeshi, but this is also the exact context we often say it originates from even though we (mostly) practice it empty handed. I wonder if it has made it to this style as a recent horizontal transfer, or if it's a more long-standing technique with a common ancestor to Aikido.
Thank you, Seki Sensei, for this demonstration it was very educational and entertaining
I've already watched about five of these videos where you discuss the katana and the walk is our feet and other weapons and it is some of the best material most fascinating things that you have covered on this channel
Already enjoyed the japanese Channel. Thanks adding this Format also.
I don't use a katana but this is incredibly interesting.
I've not trained with weapons, but this is great! I am subbing. Thank you.
This video was very good! I would love to see more videos with Seki Sensei.
I'm glad I saw this on your other channel. This is awesome. Thank you, thank you.
The same people saying the spin around attack wasnt useful would be the same ones dying by this efficient technique
Behind this skillful performance, countless training and devoting one time, mind and heart.
Beside being entertaining and educative content. I discovered these videos are also incredible useful and inspiring for get proper sword fighting poses for my gunpla collection. Subbed! And congrats at reaching 100k subs.
Very very smooth!!
Well done!!
Theyre actually practicing with metal swords...They must be true experts to trust eachother like that. I do enjoy his outside the box approach to sword fighting, very interesting and reality based techniques
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.
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.
Thank you for the amazing content!! Please do keep it up!
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.
