Besides those amazing techniques demonstrated by Sensei, I really love Tsukada-san. He has been training with Sensei through many different Katas and many time for each Kata, but every time Sensei give a illustration, he is genuinely excited and surprised as a student learns a new lesson. Feel little bit sorry for him by each time he gets hurt during Taka, but when he stands up from the fall, the smile always blooming on his face.
Wow more tessen jitsu please !!! . I have served as a Law Enforcement officer for close to forty years and the techniques that sensei has demonstrated can also be applied using a collapsible baton . More please !!! Thank you .
Wow! The wrist lock technique shown at time index: 5:30 is the same as the Nikyo joint lock taught in Aikido. Very nicely done! We would often use a Jo to do the same wrist lock in Aikido class. From what I see in the video, a wooden Tanto could serve as a substitute. If you didn't have a wooden Tessen (fan) to use in class. 😱😳😊😊
This was very informative. Dungeon and dragons just released a play test for Bards which included a new Dancing Bard subclass. I am playing one who uses a pair of iron fans for performance and combat, so these video's were really helpful to show how she would use them as a real weapon.
Much appreciation for Seki Sensei’s kind willingness to share these elegant techniques! As part of our jujutsu training, we engage with small hidden weapons such as suntetsu and “found” weapons and tessen, which I became fascinated with when I trained in Kung fu. Tessen jutsu is really a wonderful practice, precisely because tessen increases leverage and is a beautiful thing for improving kyusho jutsu. Since it’s a tool and weapon one would carry - and is still carried in everyday life, it was and is a great “everyday carry” weapon. I loved the metal balls carried within the knot! A couple of my tessen have sharpened staves and function almost as tanto, but the more hidden element was wonderful to learn about. Thank you again to Seki Sensei and to you, of course! 🥋🙏🥋
As a Ju Jitsu practitioner it is great to see some techniques that can be supplemented with the tessen. Also really nice how Seki Sensei shows Atemi against Kyusho (vital) points in this video. Thank you very much!
Being that fans are not common items today consider using an item you would carry in daily living or for your studies or profesion. A comb, brush, ruler, screwdriver or anything you can imagine that is about the same size and shape. Even a rolled up newspaper or magazine can be effective.
@@kohikan5180 precisely! They all have the same form factor! The minute we can see self protection in one such form, we can see it everywhere! Excellent!!
I keep seeing SO many techniques that are SO similar to the Aiki-Jitsu I learned from my master. I would LOVE to see what Seki Sensei does if anyone could manage to disarm him. Not likely to happen but, I would LOVE to see his techniques for this.
This looks like the feudal japan version of a kubaton or tactical pen. Just like kubatons are now I doubt this was practical even then but it is beautiful to watch and a really neat piece of history.
Has the disarm of the katana with the sickle that is shown in the opening been covered in a video yet? I've watched every video but may of just missed it somehow if it has. Really enjoying this content. I wish there was somewhere near me in the UK that taught this style, I would drive 2 hours or more just for the training sessions quite happily.
I love all this content - history context and an exploration of the use and philosophical perspectives - hopefully one day, at Seki Sensei's digression, I would love to hear about stick technique, particularly that of the Jo! Not a lot of good english content on the subject
Thank you for the video. Seki-sensei showed so many different options. I liked the part, were he disarmed the opponent with a katana with just a tessen, the most. Maybe it's just my sense of justice, but I liked that it would hurt more the more aggressive the opponent is. I hope the test opponent is alright... That looked painful... The video makes me want to practise with a tessen, too. 😂
Another solid video of the tessen application. Prior to my Karate journey, I was in Hakko Ryu Jujutsu for nearly half a decade, and we did tons of wrist lock from kote gaeshi to shio-nage and I've noticed several wrist locks which brings back memories. It's painful, but very rewarding knowledge to take home.
I enjoyed seeing the tessen in use, especially how taijutsu forms the basis of pretty much all figting. I have seen similar movements in jujutsu styles, and I know first hand what that feels like 😂, but I miss the training.
Seki Sensei must be incredibly strong. He appears to barely touch Tsukada-san, and yet the man is in visible pain and even taps out! Seki Sensei has perfect form, and these moves appear like second nature to him. I've watched many videos since I discovered this channel, and they are mesmerizing. Thank you so much, Seiki Sensei and Shogo for making these beautiful martial arts traditions so accessible!
it is Wonderful to see these Weapons being demonstrated . When I was a Child in the 60's and my Father was stationed at R.A.A.F Butterworth in Penang , both of my Parents trained in Ju Jutsu, my Mother trained with the Tessen, and carried a Fan all the time, her favourite "daytime" fan was made of Wood with engraved brass ornamentation , she still has it and 4 of her " evening " fans
I love seeing a good video(s) about the Tessen. As a Kenjutsu student, I would wear my katana, tanto, and Tessen. It's nice to see more attention on the less known weapons.
Many rondell dagger techniques from Medieval fight books (like Fiore or Talhoffer) are very similar. Again this just shows how similar the martial arts if samurai & knights actually were.
It Always makes me chuckle , When Seki Sensei completes a waza.. He flashes his mischievous boyish smile that quickly disappears and returns to neutral face. Seki Sensei is the Boss. I bow in sincere appreciation for his Skills.
I love the fan hiding the face technique. not seen here still very cool. Thanks Shogo, I enjoy this type of content very much. Thank you to Seki Sensei as well.
Could probably do most of these with an expandable baton, with or without expanding it. Just remove the padded handle, or make one with a pentagonal, or hexagonal shape to be more rigid than a square shape, while maintaining a pointy edge.
Wow Tessen Jitsu is something I ought to look into. I got some basic tessen wooden and plastic fan lying around mainly used to fan me. But seeing it used as a self defense weapon has gotten my motivated to try and use it as that if needed. Combining a Tessen and a Monkey’s Fist would surely be a weapon with lethal force. Granted it comes at a price. A fight is best to be avoided at all cost but when you gotta stand your ground it’s something better than your bare fists. I definitely don’t have the muscle but I want to use my brain and speed to my advantage.
I love your videos! You always present wonderfully executed traditional techniques. This time the title made me smile too. With the second glance it was clear that you mean with metal fan a tessen. But first I thought the meaning is that metal fans means fans of heavy metal music. 🤣
How interesting! I encountered these same techniques in Hoko Shin Ko-ryu in my younger years, but taught with a short stick. I never realised they were originally for the fan. Or maybe I just failed to pay enough attention back then 😅
You’d think that people would have learnt by now that trying to steal anything from Seki-sensei’s hand (sword, fan, stick, sickle, beer glass, ice cream, etc) is just a bad idea 😂
Hi. Thank you *so* much for this video. Iron Fan techniques are fascinating (and underrated). Could you please ask Seki Sensei if there are any segeo techniques he could demonstrate?
Hello, congratulations for the the good job in this channel. I have a question, this school have no armed techniques? have a relation with the asayama ryu teach in the Genbukan Association?
Most of these tecniques are really cool and i could see many being usefull. Two i dont think would be useful and even dangerous to attempt are the one that requires blocking a sword and the overhand fist.. the sword moves too fast and nobody throws overhand fists like that. If someone has a knife like that, its going to move too fast to catch.
I practice Aikido, and in the current school I am working with we have a bit of tessen too. We normally use a (wooden) tanto though, because sourcing practice tessens has been very difficult for us. Any ideas where I could buy a few? (I am travelling to Tokyo later this year, so even if it was just a shop without any internet presence I could still try to go there in person)
Greetings, thank you so much for such an insightful video. Does Tozando sell Tessen fans? Where can one buy them online made in Japan? Prefferably made from Titanium. Thank you so much for your hard work and sharing your knowledge.
Hello, big fan of the channel! I wonder if the Japanese fans can be opened when fighting and how that may look? I heard was used to deflect arrows, signal troops, cool off, throw knifes, hide attacks, but are there tessen katas with openning it? I've tried searching for it, but mostly found it as an art form dance. Would love a part 3 on this topic if is relevant!
This, absolutely, doesn't hold up to testing against uncooperative partners! There are a very few interesting observations, but... they necessitate furthercontext and *really*-- a competent person could create a steel fan fighting style from, essentially, scratch and do as well! Who is this for? Explain to me, please, why am I wrong? Someone with real experience, please, explain why I am wrong!?
I want to believe, but this really looks like lots of the aikido stuff I trained as a kid- no pressure testing, compliant opponents, and no real efficacy to the techniques 😔😔
I was thinking the exact same thing and I had to check to see if anyone else was going to mention this. If the opponent wasn't being so complaint there no way most of these moves would work, prime example @2:19 when he sticks in the guy's armpit and he goes to the ground made my eyes roll so many times I thought I was a slot machine for a second LOL.
@@TheUncleRuckus you need to experience it for yourself. The iron fan is stronger than your body, you will fall and fall hard, not easy the way he let his use fall

Appreciation must be shown for Seki-sensei's Shidachi, especially in this episode in which he experiences some painful moments!
It was also so kind of the Shidachi to move so slowly and fall over when he was supposed to.
Besides those amazing techniques demonstrated by Sensei, I really love Tsukada-san.
He has been training with Sensei through many different Katas and many time for each Kata, but every time Sensei give a illustration, he is genuinely excited and surprised as a student learns a new lesson.
Feel little bit sorry for him by each time he gets hurt during Taka, but when he stands up from the fall, the smile always blooming on his face.
I really enjoy his expressions as well
Tsukada san is also a main presenter on the sensei's own channel

These techniques are great because you could use them with just a short stick, or any number of long tools.
Yes. Like an 8 inch or 10 inch 1/4 or 3/8 extension bar from a socket set. 😁 Nice!

You can tell he has a love for this particular weapon. The joy he has in showing how effective a simple small rod can be with knowledge.
Man, this makes me want to buy a tessen!

As we say in our dojo :" There are not 10 millions ways to bend and lock wrist" :D
@@zatrusofnietzche2281Are you out of your mind?
thanks for demonstrating even more cool tessen techniques. very versatile tool.
It’s fascinating to see that the jujitsu, judo, aikido techniques we se today have their origins from weapons.
This looks like the feudal japan version of a kubaton or tactical pen. Just like kubatons are now I doubt this was practical even then but it is beautiful to watch and a really neat piece of history.
Kubota/tactical pens are based off the tonbo/ yawara short stick. They are and were effective and practical in close quarters
This has a lot in common with medival rondel dagger grappling.
I study at a Fiore school and for the heck of it once went through the baton and dagger material using a fan. A lot of it works just fine.
So there we have it guys. Metal fans already existed in the Edo period! Mosh pits are therefore an ancient Japanese tradition, aswell. I suppose.
Just imagine how intense were the mosh pits
Lots of blood involved im sure

Everyone else has outlined anything i would comment but i just want to Honor Seki Sensei, much Respect! ❤2❤
i like how easy it looks, and you can just use anything you have at hand, or just your hand. Almost like club or tonfa techniques.

Nice techniques! We use similar moves ( human bodies are the same) in our Kung Fu system also with an open fan. Nice video. Arigatou,
Reminds me of my Hapkido and Aikido training.
Outstanding Work!
This is why i listen to metal everyday
😂😂sometimes you feel bad for the test opponent 😂
Alternative title: "Show appreciation to your uke"
I couldn’t include it in the video, but Seki sensei was apologizing and rubbing Tsukada-san’s hand every time!
These are such great videos! Totally going to use them as reference while working on an art project I have involving samurai inspired characters
I think Seki Sensei is true Hokage! ☺️ I really enjoy in every video. Thank you.

This can totally be applied using your everyday selfie stick
Amazing! what a good sport your help is to be an example!
Could probably do most of these with an expandable baton, with or without expanding it. Just remove the padded handle, or make one with a pentagonal, or hexagonal shape to be more rigid than a square shape, while maintaining a pointy edge.
batons are usually round though, this has corners. there was one tessen that wasnt a real fan. that would be closer to your square baton

Metal Fans in Japan:
Jokes aside, these are really impressive and practical techniques. Great video!
It's incredible how something like a small tessen can become so versatile.
I'm definitely a metal fan 😉😁
So cool. 👏👏👏
In our training we used bamboo sticks as the tessen, it was painful enough even when they were round.
Great stuff!
Hello, congratulations for the the good job in this channel.
I have a question, this school have no armed techniques? have a relation with the asayama ryu teach in the Genbukan Association?

Aikido O-Sensei Ueshiba trained in such an art. It is neat to see the links between such arts.
Metal fans are the strongest! Especially heavy metal fans! 🎉😂😂

Did anyone else see "how to fight with metal fans" and immediately picture a brawl at a concert?
Is there a Set of Forms for the Tessen? If so are their any documents about them.
I kinda feel sorry for Tsukada-san 😅
Is there any maneuvers that use the open or closing of the fan?
Astonishing
