Will I still be able to catch up? A💡: You don’t need any previous katana martial arts experience to participate in our lessons. Seki Sensei, the instructor of the online lessons, will carefully instruct you on how to handle the katana regardless of your level. You will also be able to access all the videos of the past lessons so you can watch what every other student has learned. You can also send us videos of your progress, and Seki Sensei will be happy to give you feedback. Q❓: What is the right length of the Iaito (zinc alloy training katana) I should use? A💡: Please purchase an Iaitō at least two blocks longer than the standard length. The standard length for Seki Sensei is about 177cm, so he should use a 2.45 Shaku long katana. However, he uses a 2.6 Shaku-long katana that is supposed to be used by someone 190cm tall. If the katana is too short, it becomes too easy to draw, which is not good for training. Q❓: Can I join even if I belong to a different Ryuha style? A💡: Yes, it’s not a problem at all. The Seki Sensei himself has trained in more than five styles and various other weapons. If you don’t want others to know that you are participating, you can join the online lessons with your camera off. To have the Sensei check your progress, you can send us a video of you practicing. 🗡Join the Online Iaido Training with Seki Sensei🗡 Sign Up Here (One Lesson FREE): www.patreon.com/sekisenseiiaidotraining Interested in taking Iaido lessons directly from the 8th Dan Iaido Master with 40 years of experience in Musō Shinden Ryu, Seki sensei?

The perception needed to know the distance needed for the Eagle's Wings, to hit with the katana's tip and allow the wakizashi to pass through, has to be intense. Seki Sensei is sublime.
What I really like about this video, was how Seki-Sensei closes the kata. I can best describe it like a Super Robot letting out steam and returning from his battle form into resting mode. The way, the feets are slowly pulled under the Hakama with very little movement of the upper body... It really sell an impression of body control.
the shishi, rather than real lions, is more like stone lions we can find in front of temples. they behave differently from the real ones. maybe the sensei can talk about shishi and other mythological animals in one video?
In regards to Tiger fighting Dragon, it's worth noting that this typically refers to the concept of yin-yang/in-yo (tiger being yin/in. dragon represents yang/yo). Makes sense then that the dragon is in jodan and the tiger is in sha or waki.
In European longswordsmanship, there exists the Ox Stance. It's a stance where you hold the sword high and offset to the side with the point towards the target. Sound familiar?
This is fascinating, but I'd love to see Seki Sensei sparring with a peer or near-peer master, assuming any are still alive in this day and age. Many of these Kata are interesting to watch and very well-thought through, but I'd love to see how Seki Sensei would alter/proceed from the original Kata movements if his opponent was actually responding in a challenging way as opposed to the predictable way that is in training.
흥미롭네요 동물의 형세를 취한건 중국의 무예만 그런줄 알았는데 일본의 고무술도 그런게 있다니 특히나 매의 날개란 쌍검을 쓰는게......아, 일본에선 이도류인가요? 여튼 검 두자루를 활용한 검술에 길이가 다른 검으로 공방을 이어가는게 상당히 흥미롭습니다 한국에선 쌍검이라고 이도류하고 움직임이 조금 다른 검술을 쓰는데 상당히 재밌습니다👍
Would love to integrate this to my style of fighting, since I have a combination of hema and eskrima (kali), I want to integrate kenjutsu since forever, but the few times I had the opportunity, it felt like a bad fit or it was too expensive for me to do

Indeed !!! as an aikido practitionar ‘closing’ a kata is mostly forgotten … the loss of zanshin or simply awake isn’t seen at the end …
Damn. Now I can't stop hearing Gundam noises whenever he does it😂❤
The beasts attacking the neck, that checks out!
I like the images behind these kata. It really helps to visualize the meaning!❤️
This was incredibly useful as someone whose base is Takamatsuden and someone who dabbled in Tiger kung fu in the past.
the shishi, rather than real lions, is more like stone lions we can find in front of temples. they behave differently from the real ones. maybe the sensei can talk about shishi and other mythological animals in one video?
Seki-sensei is so cool, It's amazing how humanity picked up sticks and then swung them until it became art.
I remember doing something similar to the jumping monkey in jujutsu but the eagles wings was fantastic.
Animal names for katas dependent on their movements seem like an intuitive way of memorization.
Beautiful! Thank you for the demonstration
These kata are so cool!
This channel has grown so much!! ❤
In regards to Tiger fighting Dragon, it's worth noting that this typically refers to the concept of yin-yang/in-yo (tiger being yin/in. dragon represents yang/yo). Makes sense then that the dragon is in jodan and the tiger is in sha or waki.
Itsumo Arigatoo! Great vídeo Kenjutsu information.
Akemashite Omedetou!
Greetings from Brazil's Zenshin Karate Dojo.
Fascinating techniques, I'm already thinking about the Eagle Wings as I type this!
Thank you for your videos.
In European longswordsmanship, there exists the Ox Stance. It's a stance where you hold the sword high and offset to the side with the point towards the target. Sound familiar?
Fierce advanced Katas ❤ expressing timeless truths 🙏❤️🔥 THANK YOU ASAYAMA ICHIDEN KAI 🎉🎉🎉🎉
these are fantastic!
Thank you. Wonderful video.
Woow this is a master class I think he is one of the best
Simply beautiful.
Magnificent
I wonder if Seki Sensei has a list of old Samurai movies he would recommend
Or literature to study
amazing content
This is fascinating, but I'd love to see Seki Sensei sparring with a peer or near-peer master, assuming any are still alive in this day and age. Many of these Kata are interesting to watch and very well-thought through, but I'd love to see how Seki Sensei would alter/proceed from the original Kata movements if his opponent was actually responding in a challenging way as opposed to the predictable way that is in training.
Thank you boss. For making it look easy.
I all seriousness and sincerity thank you. It was beautiful to watch. I'm a slow learner.
ししーのーみ sounds like a devil fruit from One Piece. It would be the ねこねこーのーみ, model Lion😂❤
So awesome!
I wish movie studio's would hire Sensei to make the (katana-) swordfights more realistic *and* beautiful.
Sooo coooool!
Hi! I love the videos, how about a suggestion for Saki Sensei, showing combat techniques with a machete?
In wushu in "Style of Tiger" there is a technique nearly the same as the technique with two swords shown in this video.
Sensei being awesome as always! Kudos! Greetings from Rio!
the jumping monkey footwork is very similar to the capoeira's ginga, the basic of our footwork. And it's really useful and effective.
흥미롭네요
동물의 형세를 취한건 중국의 무예만 그런줄 알았는데
일본의 고무술도 그런게 있다니
특히나 매의 날개란 쌍검을 쓰는게......아, 일본에선 이도류인가요?
여튼 검 두자루를 활용한 검술에 길이가 다른 검으로 공방을 이어가는게 상당히 흥미롭습니다
한국에선 쌍검이라고 이도류하고 움직임이 조금 다른 검술을 쓰는데
상당히 재밌습니다👍
Can you give him a three section staff next? I'd pay to see some playful cloud work done by him
😊
Video idea Ghost of Tsushima sword stances.
That was so cool
In terms of double swords Thai techniques are the best to me.
Ok I gets there is many samurai who use a dual sword except musashi
Are there also kata named after nature phenomenon?
There are kata that use the elements to represent the style of motions.
Yama oroshi....but it's from Muso Shinden iai
Yes, there’s many! We might make a video about them too!
Is sparring part of the training camp?
No, it’s not included!
HEh, WELCOME TO KUNG FU
I like eagle technique...I guess I will get a wakizashi in the future 😂
🙏🙇♂
❤⚔️🙇♂️🎆🤘🏻👋

"What is the name of your school?"
You both move more like ghosts than beasts. That's exactly what i/d want. To flow like water and in action, a mirror
Will you show more jujutsu techniques in the future?
🙏👍😊❤️
Not KAta. It’s kaTA.
that doesnt look like a beast mode, i though will be like berserker vikings, this is like common training samurai fight
Why should one fight like a beast when they are a human man? Fight like a human.
@@jordanrock3494 isn't man already supposed to indicate human? You mean "human male"?
@@lynxthewise7233 lulz..yeah
It's not "beast mode", it's mimicking the mechanics of beasts.
Yo that s*** was gangsta ASF 🤯❤
