  • Ukemi is the art of falling safely, and all Jūdo and Aikido trainees practice it first to avoid injuries. However, the Ukemi that we do in Asayama Ichiden Ryu is unique because you must fall safely with a katana on your waist.
    So today, Seki sensei, the 22nd headmaster of Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu, which has 400 years of history, will explain how and why we perform the Ukemi in our Ryuha. This simple movement has incredible meanings, so please watch this video until the end. By the way, we have started a new online lesson on Sundays at 10:30 pm JST. Check out our Patreon page for more information!
    *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

    Great video!
    There's a lot more to falling with a weapon and getting back up.
    So many civilians manage to impale themselves accidentally with pointy objects, when they fall.

    Excellent video! As a stick/staff fighter, the use of the hilt (kashira) as a fulcrum was a revelation to me. I could see how using the butt end of the staff as a fulcrum could surprise my opponent as I roll differently than expected. Many thanks for Seki-sensei's insights and tips.

    I never thought I could learn so much from three minutes. Thank you. This was great. The roll is great. The stance down is great. Coming up is also great. But the best part was still when sensei showed what happens if you just try to roll far away from opponent without thinking much. My appreciation for this video is hard to put into words.

    Respectfully, your channel is one of the main reasons that I’m more motivated to pursue a good job and profession in life, so I can learn a martial art in classes. I’ve been massively unmotivated for the last three years, but each day that passes, I want to learn one of these martial arts moreso. I’m already working on procuring the funds for an iaito, and soon enough, a high end sword custom made for me. Much appreciation your way. A little motivation goes a long way.

    Great stuff. Most grappling arts do not teach how to fall with something in your hands or on your waist, so I always wondered how it worked. What do you do for an ukemi if your sword has already been drawn?

  • @ghanaboyz
    @ghanaboyz Месяц назад

    Thank you for sharing so much. Much apriciated.
    May I ask if you think there can be a benefit in striking from just under the surface of water to make it harder for opponent to judge distance and position of the striking blade? Assume the ground below water is very stable and flat and assume the water does not move much,neither at surface or below. Choose depth freely. Both you and your oppents is in the same water. Assume the oppent is also skilled in fighting with the same kind of blade.

    • @ghanaboyz
      @ghanaboyz Месяц назад

      i figured that the blade need to be close under the surface, just under it, so the hindering of the water is kept to a minimum. Also some movements appears worse and some better while having the blade under water at the start of the strike (probably stabbing?).
      It will probably be very hard for opponent to not look down in the water.

    • @ghanaboyz
      @ghanaboyz Месяц назад

      I have been asked "why water?". I think it is possible that you cross water, like a smaller river, at the point where it is safest to cross. Meaning best ground and smallest force of the water. While crossing water you tend to be easily seen and can be attacked.
      With many river crossings, it seems feasible to understand fighting while standing in water.
      Also, perhaps less likely, if you go ashore on a beach from a small boat, a fight may start while in the water and before reaching land.
      If the opponent is unskilled, you probably can be very straightforward and simple, but meeting a trained and experience fighter, perhaps a special stance may help you? Judging and keeping the right distance is important is it not and it seems harder to judge if the blade is hidden at first.
