Amazing, best video so far. You find great martial arts when their simple effective practical. Bring left hand with sword to Right hand, easier draw. I love what said about not being fast, real fights are push shove anger movements, 3% of our skills are generally what comes out that time we had to fight someone.
As Bruce Lee supposedly once said (paraphrasing), "I do not fear the man who has practiced 100 techniques once, but rather the man who has practiced one technique 100 times"; but what about the man who has practiced 100 techniques each 100 times? 🤔😄
I liked coming from a video with another version of gyakute-naki where they draw without downward facing reverse grip, and realized this style uses it to practice the reverse draw techniques that require the hand to swap grips
I have been practicing IAI quite a few years. When I saw Sekki sensei in this channel, I was delighted to see a true sword master existing. It is nothing to do with his sword techniques but the principle that majority of us either disregard or blinded to it. Thank you. Sincerely.
The Shimo-dachi-wari is a thing of beauty, I am so thankful that Seki Sensei is sharing his incredible skill with the world and thank you for helping to spread this further Shogo.
I don’t how this got put into my recommended algorithm, but Seki Sensei’s movement is so smooth I couldn’t stop myself from being impressed. Will happily watch more videos in the furture
I m loving this videos easier to read subtitles/closed caption for deaf like myself and learning from him with my bokuto when kids around from other room or outside while i m myself in room of my own sometime i use unsharpened uchi-katana in earliest morning when kids and everyone sleeps.
Arigato gozaimashita, Seki Sensei. I was really amazed by your video on Shogo’s channel, so I’m very glad there’s a channel to actually try and learn these techniques. I look forward to following along! Onegai itashimasu.
Thank you very much for uploading these videos and congratulations on your new channel! I can't stop watching the gyakute-nuki, it's very mesmerizing. I'm not really sure how to word it other than how fascinating it is to see the sword used as such a versatile tool in combat. Seki-sensei seems to performs the moves with such ease, it's amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this style.
Greetings Sensei and Shogo, thanks a lot for the channel, as a beginner of iaido learner, i lot lots of things from this channel and lets ask shogo channel. You inspire me well and i am grateful to you.
His methods of drawing and sheathing are very much like what we do in Muso Shinden Eishin Ryu except we use a longer sword so our noto is slightly different. His Gyakute draw looks a lot like Katori Shinto Ryu. Great video! Thanks, Shogo!
Thanks a lot for this channel, it's very insightful and helpful. My question for the sensei is: there's a way for us to study more seriously in this style and honor the teachings living overseas? It's good to know it, but there's a way for us to get a "grade" or an approval from the sensei to be sure not to dishonor style and spreading the teachings in the wrong way? Thanks !
Simply awesome techniques. The best I've seen. Thank you for providing us all the opportunity to observe his mastery. Very inspiring! This is certainly "the way"....
Amazing! And by watching this, these moves do really seem "practical" in case of true combat with a katana... Really glad that this kind of "knowledge" is not lost... Please keep doing these videos they are amazing... Thank you for them...
I appreciate this training video. Thank you. My draw does not flow as nicely. I think I should have a dull practice sword since my sharp sword makes me hesitant in my draw.
This is awesome Shogo! I'm definitely going to be trying these out with my son when the weather gets a bit better here in the UK (no place to train indoors at the moment unfortunately)
Such perfection from Seki Sensei..Loving the gyakute nuki draw which is performed by Mifune in many of Kurosawa’s movies…just magical to watch!❤ This channel is amazing!
Your Iadio skill is good compared to a lot of other so-called Masters out there,, you are smooth & concise, -a lot of other masters look stiff & Robotic,, when displaying simple sword skill. You deserve credit ! for showing how the art should function, I have your skill level & know its proper. You will benefit a lot of students with- proper form and technique. Good Job !!
Loving the new channel! Question for Shogo: would it be possible in future to not only translate the Japanese text to the English way of spelling them, but also in parentheses post what the words mean in English for those of us that don't speak any Japanese? Google Translate can give all sorts of different meanings depending on how you punctuate a word, and it would be nice to know what is correct without guessing. For instance I put in 'Shimo-dachi-wari' and got 'Frost-Dachi Wari', then hit some button by accident that changed it to 'frost dachy split', then tried 'Shimo-dachi wari' and got 'Freezing Frost', and only upon doing 'shimo dachi wari' did I get 'lower cut'; which while the others sound cool I'm assuming that is the correct translation for the move. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you for leaving a comment! We'll write the meaning of each name here for you. 上立割 Kamidachi-wari: vertical swing down 一ノ胴 Ichi no do: horizontal cut against the body 揚袈裟 Age gesa: 45-50 degree angle swing up 下立割 Shimo-dachi-wari: vertical swing up 逆手抜き Gyaku te nuki: reverse hand draw
@@letsasksekisensei Thank you very much for that. The translations correspond well to my guesses based on observation. The raw Google translations can be quite poetic but are not very helpful without deep contextual knowledge of Japanese language and culture.
I work for couple weeks for first one and it could be very helpful if you show them all wearing shorts, it's hard to understand legs movement. Obviously that is very important part. Please support.)))
Interesting. Especially the Gyakute Nuki. I think I saw something similar of that under Katori Shinto Ryu. The only difference is that its furikaburi (lifting the sword) is over the shoulder.
The slow demo looks so awkward with the gyakute-nuki, but at speed, you cant even see when he readjusts his grip before the down swing, he is so incredibly smooth with it…good gods.
Even watching Seki-sensei's form, I am still having problems with putting the saya back on the uchi-gatana. Right as the kibaki is going in, the fingers on my left hand get in the way of fully sheathing. I see Seki-sensei move his left thumb out of the way, but my index finger always seems to get caught. I guess I just need to keep following his example and practicing. I'm so grateful that the world is able to watch this art form, that it may live on forever!
Sensei is awesome, the draw, I can somewhat replicate. The sheating gives me lots of bruises of the skin in between my thumb and index finger when it goes wrong ;)
Buongiorno maestro. Se solo potessi venire in Giappone ad apprendere questa nobile disciplina! Grazie maestro dei video, compensano in parte la mia frustrazione di non poter partecipare alle sue mirabili lezioni.
I find the bottom up one the hardest. I can't get any momentum behind it without pressing the blade against the sheath and the tip tends to get stuck at the last moment. The others, I draw, I am in a guard position, more or less and can instantly cut in a fluid motion.
Can you do a video on how this Ryu ties the sageo? Also, is a standard 2” martial arts belt sufficient to support katana/wakazashi for training? I don’t have Dogi or hakama. Thank you for starting this channel!
Hello sensei this channel is amazing. I wanted to ask something about japanese swords and i was hoping maybe you could give me the answer. I was studying aikido for 9 years and my sensei once told me when he was demonstrating iaido with a katana that todays katana are little bit diffrent then in the past where there were wars. My sensei told me that swords had much thicker blades then todays swords becuse of sharpening. And i wonder if it really was so much thicker and heavier than today shinken for example. And if the blade was thick did the tsuka have to be also thicker and bigger in order not to crack the wood and break? Thank you very much fo this channel and i look forward into future videos of history and martial arts.
I recently purchased a polypropylene katana and a polypropylene wakizashi to start learning kobudo asayama itchiden ryu, I am starting to with these five basic moves, but i cant get the hip rotation correctly, any tips on how to do so? Or is the hip rotation necessary?
I have no coordination. But my iaito is on order anyways! Must get better at handling katana. Must become more proficient at sparring (my heart!). I can only try my best! Thanks for making this video. ^^
Please explain Gyakute-nuki (at 3:44 ) I feel that using reverse grip then having to switch hand at top is so risky during fast combat. You risk dropping sword, no? Would it not make sense to do normal grip and not need to reset hands above head?
Hello, greetings from Mexico, very helpful video on these techniques, I just cant find the unlisted video you mention, maybe you forgot putting the link?, thank you and keep the great work :D
Was watching it in 0,5 - still too fast , Master. Thank you, will do it every day, will see about progress. I was worried that I am lefthanded, it seems like katana made for lefthanded people...

Hi. I am a complete layman when it comes to katana type sword fighting. Can a person like me go to Japan to explore this art? Can you give some advice on where to start? Greetings from Poland
I tried practicing throw draw and i broke mine sheath from inside with sharp end of katana. Guess I did it wrong xdd. BTW please continue with this type with content, it's true gem.
Hi Shogo, sorry, if one wanted to train at home, where could one get katanas to do so? Or maybe even wood swords. There aren't many ways of acquiring any in my country if not online.

This is amazing it so luck we live in a time with such amazing technology to shere this all over the world
