    Wow, what a day. Going on stage to, for the first time ever in front of an audience, take five random strikes from your beloved master, almost failing the seconding strike, having to reatune your mind, and then perfectly countering the third strike to the praise of your beloved master. Then to hear your beloved master say, “Seki-San, it’s time for me to retire. There’s nothing I need to worry about any more.” What an emotional roller coaster.
    Great story.

    This is an older video of yours I just watched. I have to say hearing how hard seki has had to work to get where he is, on top of his natural talent already goes to show that hard work will always win every time. As someone who let sports get him down in high school after injuries and other issues, it’s nice to hear that even a badass like seki has had to work for every inch none of it was given.

Seki Sensei is a real master of his art and I am honored to have an opportunity to see the ways of the ancient fighting...🙏

    I want say that I am someone who doesn't have a dojo anywhere near me, and likely will not before I am far along enough in my years for it to matter, and have been practicing some of the things you teach on your channel (very basic things like the technique behind a basic cut, how to properly wear a hakama and katana, noto, etc), and I would never, even if I practiced alone for the rest of my years and developed solid fundamentals, consider myself anywhere near skilled unless I was able to study under some like Seki Sensei. While there is much to be said for practice and dedication, a life of dedication to both will never compare to a life of dedication to both under the supervision of someone who has already given his life and dedication to such.
    We likely will never meet, but should you see this, please tell Seki Sensei I said "Domo arigato gozaimashita" with a deep bow. And you, Shogo sanwa, should be proud of all your efforts in bringing these lessons and this knowledge to the rest of the world through this medium we call RUclips.
    We all thank you both.
