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.
These are so valuable lessons. Each sunday morning I train with my 7yr old sun budo. We practice Kenjutsu, Jo Jutsu and Ju Jutsu. I saw today at least three kata that I will incorporate in our training tomorrow. I would love to train with Seki Sensei. Unf- it is very difficult for me at the training times offered.
Really like these techniques but I can’t watch and read the instructions at the same time if you would talk and tell us the instructions in English as we watch you would get a lot more subscribers and we would learn better. Thank You Really like your channel 😺
Idk if this is the video to comment on but since it is the most recent one i will, I would very much like to see Seki-Sensei react to "The Mountain and the Viper" or "The Sword of The Morning" fight from GOT.
Though I have no experience in the world of swords and armor I can’t say much. But I would like to see another reaction but this time they react to a fight of knights in full plate armor. To get their opinion and view on what would they do and actions they would take also see how knights looked in full armor. Might I recommend they react to dequitem a channel of sparring. Also please tell if missed anything because this is first few times I’ve commented on this platform!!😅😅
I'm just curious, but in some of the older videos Seki-sensei would wear a black belt over the hakama. Is there any special reason for the purple one he wears know? By the way, I absolutely love the videos, keep up the great work!
We've seen Seki Sensei handle an European longsword and give his opinions. Has Seki Sensei wielded any historical Chinese blade? Wether Jian (劍) or any kind of Dao (刀). I think it'd be pretty interesting too.
The groove does not affect cutting performance. Edge geometry is what determines if a blade can cut well. The groove, or fuller to be more accurate, is only there to decrease the blades weight. It also has the side effect of making the "sword wind" sound more apparent

I rarely comment but I wished to thank you for the content you provide on this channel. I look forward to every new video. Arigato gozaimasu
What a great series! The winding (maki) movements were so creative.
Will there be a similar video for Head (Men) and Waist (Do) strikes too?
Clicked as fast as Seki-sensei's Iai
lmao platinum
Thank you so much for sharing these fundamental techniques!
Simply beautiful
this is amazing content, wish i had a teacher like this in my area

腕・手首・下半身の使い方、直ぐに攻撃に転じられる刀・足の捌き方等々、とても勉強になります。
ありがとうございました。
Thank you.
Please make a video of how would a katana swordmaster fight with a talwar.
Great video, I wish some other martial arts had a similar channel to explain some techniques so well, with different angles showing the basics
Really like these techniques but I can’t watch and read the instructions at the same time if you would talk and tell us the instructions in English as we watch you would get a lot more subscribers and we would learn better. Thank You Really like your channel 😺

Honestly it would be interesting to see sensei fight with a polish sabre.
I'm just curious, but in some of the older videos Seki-sensei would wear a black belt over the hakama. Is there any special reason for the purple one he wears know? By the way, I absolutely love the videos, keep up the great work!
I have never seen the Maki-Goté Omoté before! 😮
We've seen Seki Sensei handle an European longsword and give his opinions. Has Seki Sensei wielded any historical Chinese blade? Wether Jian (劍) or any kind of Dao (刀).
I think it'd be pretty interesting too.
React to dequitem please respect from thailand ❤
Can you tell me does the katana have to have a groove or no groove to cut through the mat. Thank you for sharing the videos I love them 💞
The groove does not affect cutting performance. Edge geometry is what determines if a blade can cut well. The groove, or fuller to be more accurate, is only there to decrease the blades weight. It also has the side effect of making the "sword wind" sound more apparent
Can you put subtitles in all languages please
can you get seki sensei to try out a Saber?(preferebly curved)
What Martial Art do you practice with a Real Katana? It's not Iai-do. or is it?
Kenjutsu
Здравствуйте.
