8th Dan Iaido Master Explains Musō Shinden Ryu Kata | Ryūtō, Juntō, Gyakutō

In this video series, Seki Sensei, an 8th Dan Iaido master with 40 years of experience in Musō Shiden Ryu, will introduce the fascinating Kata trained in this Ryuha. He will explain in detail the assumed situation of the battle and the points you must be careful of when you perform it. This is the perfect video for all Musō Shiden Ryu trainees and anyone interested in Iaido to deepen their knowledge about the techniques. After watching, if you’re interested in learning these Kata from Seki Sensei and I, Let's ask Shogo, please check out our online lessons.
However, please understand that there are many different versions of the Kata of Musō Shiden Ryu, and what we introduce in this video is what Seki Sensei has learned from his father. It is not the absolute way of performing the techniques, and we have no intention of denying other versions.
*The content of our videos is based on the teachings of Asayama Ichiden Ryu and personal studies/experience | There is no intention of denying other Ryuha styles, theories, and cultural aspects

"To revive the golden age of Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 7,000 students nationwide"
Asayama Ichiden Ryu was once the number one Ryuha in Japan during the Edo period (1603~1868), with more than 7,000 students throughout the country. Seki Sensei hopes to restore as much of the glory of this era as possible while he himself is the 22nd headmaster. Please help and support us in this endeavor.

The Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu, of which Seki Sensei is the 22nd headmaster, was one of the most popular Ryuha styles during the Edo period. In our golden age, we had over 7,000 students nationwide. Today, we only have 100 students. Our dream is to revive the golden age of Asayama Ichiden Ryu while Seki Sensei is still the headmaster. We want future generations to remember Seki Sensei as the legendary Sōké who brought back the glory of our Ryuha. Your donations will be used to cover Shogo's travel expenses to visit the main dojo from Kyoto, TH-cam video shooting costs, online lesson operation costs, and training camps in Japan and overseas.

I love how much you can tell in every video how much Seki-sensei was born to teach, he always looks so happy to be showing something new despite seeming like a serious person.

[@Daimwn]

The big swings are good for embedding the movement into your mechanical subconscious mode. BUT you must then transfer into doing it as slick-minimalistic and meaningful as possible.
I am vey honored to be able to see all this material 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.

[@thegreatadventurer8483]

I love this channel so much. So many interesting things to learn for someone like me who adores martial arts, and especially swords.

[@VictorLonmo]

I could not help laughing at the expression "helping of seppuku." I love this channel. It is very accessible to me as someone with no real understanding of Japanese and yet it retains a distinct Japanese flavour.
It goes without saying that I am always impressed with how smoothly Seki Sensei moves. I have started online lessons but I am tempted...
Keep the videos coming Shogo!

[@cantan111]

passing the knowledge to a new generation, Samurai spirit & courage.. I love Japanese people, I love Japan & I never even been there.. PRIDE FC, began in Japan. The greatest days of MMA in history.

[@mariosocio8833]

Excelente, muchas gracias por el vídeo.El nivel de conocimientos de Seki sensei es altísimo!!

[@dariobressan8928]

Thank you for your explanation. It's really good and add a lot to see how you do Muso in Japan.

[@ironicrite2009]

Not only beautiful but also interesting and well explained.
thank you Shogo and Seki sensei.

[@TieToter]

The Master makes it look so easy.

[@The_Captainn]

Unlisted? Glad I'm watching now, then!

[@KateJohn2013England]

[@Vekren]

You guys hear his strikes through the air? Also super straight cuts watch in slo motion.

[@warrikata]

Such a serious tone to some of those movements!

[@barryevans6089]

Very interesting point about avoiding beheading during Seppiku.

[@chocolatedumdum2]

Learned several things and I’ve been practicing for years. Wow.

[@SuperIttoOgami]

Tank you Seki Sensei for this new video. Very interesting!🙏🙏🙏

[@DedicatedSpirit8]

Thank you for the free preview!
I'm currently training ryushin shouchi ryu..
I hope to one day train in other styles

[@TheAFROZEN]

Thank you for another great video!

[@raymondsosnowski9717]

Juntō (Kaishaku in Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu) is, in a way, an odd kata in the middle of the Omori Ryu set. Whereas in every other kata in this and other sets of iai-gata, one needs to exhibit seme, it is unnecessary in this kata because there is no teki (enemy). For me, it made for an interesting experience in doing the Omoir Ryu set to 'turn off' seme only while doing this kata.

[@letsasksekisensei]

Practicing this Kata was necessary because any samurai could be chosen as the “Kaishaku” for someone. Especially if the samurai committing Seppuku was close to you.

[@micheledimauro5742]

Grazie per i vostri insegnamenti.

[@alexanderkstrauss9943]

Incredible peerless explanations once again ❤🎉

[@jimanHK]

Simply beautiful

[@elusiveoni]

So much discipline in each movement.

[@douglasevans932]

Young elder Master teach awesome lessons

[@1982pros]

What a coincidence . Me and my sensei was talking about the orgigin of ukenagashi in znkr renmei iai last pratice lesson, and hade some spekulation that we seen ryūtō on some seminar where they did pratice musô shinden.

[@kingfish4575]

Very interesting 😮

[@KendoSwordsman]

Fascinating

[@tile-maker4962]

why did Katsumoto yell when severing the head of General Hasegawa during Seppuku/Juntō?

[@Threadoflength]

Oh man these kata look so hard yet Sensei makes it look sooo easy o.O

[@letsasksekisensei]

Masters make their skills look so easy don’t they?

[@AutisticFurry]

I have a question: Would some samurai wear A Katana, A Wakizashi, And A Tanto all at the same time?

[@ironicrite2009]

I am pretty sure that yes.
I think seki sensei is talking about it in his "Santoryu" video.

[@AutisticFurry]

@@ironicrite2009 thank you

[@letsasksekisensei]

They might not wear it all at once, but could carry it somewhere possibly for example in their kimono!

[@joachimpornin7509]

I have heard that Junto can't be showed about his link to death. Here on TH-cam who's one of the biggest public place, there will not be any problem ?
