You Never Knew the Benefits of KNEELING in a Katana Fight

- Опубликовано: 23 дек 2023
- We introduce many Kata from our Ryuha, and Seki Sensei always makes it look very easy. However, each Kata includes many detailed techniques that are hard to notice by just watching.
So today, Seki sensei, the 22nd headmaster of Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 400 years of history, will introduce one of the fundamental techniques of Kenjutsu: Orishiku (kneeling) through performing our Kata. By watching this video, you will learn the three major benefits of kneeling during a fight, which are almost impossible to realize without training. The kneeling of the last Kata is especially surprising and something you’ve probably never seen before, so please watch this video until the end.
By the way, tickets for the 3-day training camp in Japan held by Seki Sensei and Let's ask Shogo are now on sale! Check out our Patreon page for more information!

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.

Thank you for the video.
I'd like to train those katas.
Best wishes from europe
I always love seeing his huge smile after he demonstrates a move, truly someone who has passion in something they do.
How fast and agile this man is while kneeling amazes me. A True master
some european Rapier manuals also got kneeling in it...getting your body below the line of the enemy...
In fencing there are some huge benefits to dropping low as well. You’re not allowed to kneel, at least in epee, but squatting is an extremely useful technique.
When doing a particularly deep thrust I've actually put my off hand down on the ground for support when ducking under someone else's thrust. Being a lefty, I have to usually go under to counter a righty's matching thrust, or at best we hit each other's basket hilt.
(I almost lost a finger from that, thank you safety gloves!😅)
I dunno if Shogo or Seki Sensei is aware of this but there's been a lotta talk in the sword community about katana's vs rapier or katana + wakizashi vs rapier and parrying dagger and I think it'd be pretty interesting to see if Seki Sensei has anything to say about this
IT'S OVER SEKI-SENSEI! I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND!
Seki-Sensei: You underestimate the Orishiku!

Wondering if you can do a breakdown of the 400 year history of Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu. Would love to learn more about the history/lineage, too, and see how it relates to other forms. I realize this would be a huge task, but very interesting. Thank you and Happy Holidays from the States.
Thanks, it's a privilege to see such high level skills.
8:01 Yes this is wise. The oppnnent thinks you mean to attack from above, but the entite goal was to attack ftom below. This might be a good finishing move if you're not tired, but he is tired.
Some delicious elaboration on a particular detail (kneeling). Great! Many thanks.
It's nice to see that the crouch poke meta is not just OP in video games lol
Virtua fighter had a lot to answer for lol 😂
That's brilliant! Thank you!
As in other contact martial arts, movemets like these are done with the intention of changing the angle of attack. Since the idea in swordsmanship of any kind is that any hit will likely disable the opponent from the ability to continue fighting, these surprise attacks might work, but the other side of the coin is that if the opponent is capable of foreseeing and countering, the faliure of such an attack would mean a disaster for the kneeling swordsman.
Thank you.
Simply beautiful
Amazing
I am dedicating myself deeply to studying the sword, I intend to learn how to use and produce them and over the years create a katana worthy of presenting Seki Sensei with one of my creations, I don't know how long it will take, but sensei I ask you to wait for me Until then, it would be a great honor to have my sword wielded by you. 私は刀の研究に深く専念しており、刀の使い方と製作方法を学び、何年もかけて関先生に私の作品を贈呈するのにふさわしい刀を作成するつもりです。どのくらいの時間がかかるかわかりませんが、先生、待っていてください。それまで私の剣をあなたに振るっていただければ光栄です。
Greetings from germany 🙇♂️ 🎅⚔️
I was wondering if there is any fighting style/stance for holding the sword in one hand and another object in the other hand? For example you have to hold a lantern at night while fighting, any specific technique/stance for that situation?
yeah, drop the lantern and focus on living to see another day
The only ones I can think of is sword/shield and sword/pistol.
How good were they at treating injuries from fighting?
would you please use khukuri its from nepal i want to see how you would use it. Thank you
Interesting. The only time before this I've seen kneeling in swordfighting is to attack the legs.
Hello!
is there a kata when kneeling and you make a horizontal cut?
What if the enemy is not lured in defending in the last kata?
I would love to see Seki Sensei do a live sparing match, that or maybe teo of his students
There's another youtuber who sparred him. I forget his name but it's out there
Asayama ichiden have their own youtube channel, there are quite a few sparring videos there. Of course, they're in japanese
We will be making more of those in the future!

hi
Question: while the attack is coming down if you kneel and cut the wrist would the sword keep traveling?
You would be cutting the veins/tendons of the wrist, not the bones, so the sword would swing down and fall short of reaching you. Hence the benefit of kneeling.
If I had a dojo, I’d make a rule that said: “In training and practicing techniques, you aren’t allowed to swing any different or with less power than it takes to successfully cut a tatami mat.”
In our style though, that would not be a good rule… We explain more why in this video!

Hey! Thank you for responding and considering and especially replying with knowledge! Thanks, I’ll watch that video! Love your channel!
2:17 assumes the enemy pops like a balloon as soon as your sword touches him. I’d be pretty scared that even with his wrist cut he still powers through and cuts my wrist too.
