How to Throw Your Wakizashi to Fight (Musashi Did It Too)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2024
- Whenever there’s a scene of throwing the katana in movies and anime, there’s an argument that samurai would never do that to their “soul.” But for example, when Miyamoto Musashi fought with the Kusarigama chain-sickle user Shishido Nanigashi, he threw the Wakizashi against him to win. Throwing weapons such as Shuriken, Kusarigama chain ball, Jyutté short truncheon, etc., during a fight was something very common in the past.
So today, Seki sensei, the 22nd headmaster of Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 400 years of history, will introduce fighting techniques throwing or dropping the Wakizashi. The final Kata fighting against two opponents is especially interesting, so please watch this video until the end. By the way, we have started a new online lesson on Sundays at 10:30 pm JST. 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. Your donations will be used to cover Shogo's travel expenses to visit the main dojo from Kyoto, RUclips video shooting costs, online lesson operation costs, and training camps in Japan and overseas.

The power of Sensei’s left hand is evident in the sound of his katana, even when he appears to be casually demonstrating a cut it can be heard. Great video. Thank you and be safe
Yes.
The best kitchen knives are tantamount to Katana.
It sings and vibrates as you unsheathe it. Then cuts the air like an eagles wingbeat, when you swing it properly.
The musashi did it too in the title is very funny to me. It's very in Musashi's philosophy to use every trick and technique at his disposal. Any wakizashi left unthrown when you are slain is a waste.
The beauty is in the simplicity.
We trained this last week and if it hits, even a nylon wakizashi will distract you enough to be vulnerable. At this distance it's also difficult to avoid.
Reminds me on a certain meme about "throw the pommel and end the enemy rightly".
Technically legal...
Seeing how much control and confidence Seki Sensei has in every movement is truly incredible. So skillful and fluid.
You sort of see a similar technique in Chinese Dandao/Chang Dao manuals as well, the technique is supposedly used against spearmen in a 1v1 situation where as you bring your greatsword upwards and behind you (like a higher Hasso-No-Kamae but off to the side behind you), you secretly draw a knife or a short sword as you move into this stance. Once you're ready, the idea is the same, where you throw the knife to distract or disorientate your opponent and then close in with your greatsword
The intro is so darn good! Amazing good! Sensei deserves it! Once again sensei shows his common sense and great techniques.
I've been using a throwing technique for longsword with great success during sparring, now I can give my kenjutsu classmates some headaches too lol
Switch over to a greatsword and overhead throw it for more headache 😂
Love your style love from Texas!
Hey! I'm from Texas too! :D
@@divinesoul23 nice where bout?
@@RALLIARTslyboy Houston. You?
I really enjoy these videos and appreciate that not only you but Seki sensei take time out of your day to make these for us. People seem to forget at the end of the day they are tools to use, and in a life or death situation the last thing on your mind is worrying about scratching or denting the weapon, they can be repaired alot easier than we can.
Awesome. There's a lot of finesse at work here.
1:20 i swear to gawd shogo said with 4 million years of History 😂😂
Wakizashi i choose you!
HAHA this is almost like a Collab :D we just re-leased similar video on this topic on my channel too :D Great job my friends :))
Your video was great too Adam.
Except that you were throwing a Katana like it's an axe, which would be your end in the battlefield 😅
That was so cool I appreciate it when you make these videos very much!
Young master teach awesome lessons 👏 😎 👌
Does Seki Sensei practice archery as well? It would be neat to see a Yumi or maybe the daikyu in action.
There is a technique in Togakure Ryu for throwing the wakizashi called Itto Nage.
Thank you for your videos.
It's entertaining to see sensei Seth teach us an amazing move from many martial arts weapon !!!❤❤❤
Excellent techniques. I love these.
LOve your new entrance video. Awesome
Can you try using the khopesh sword? It would be really interesting to see you try it.
Throwing a sword may seem crazy but we see it in Fiore and actually some rapier and dagger sources cover throwing either the rapier or the dagger so it is martially valid if you ask me. Not something you do all the time but a quick way to get an advantage against an unsuspecting opponent. I suspect throwing a sword could be a good way of trying to kill someone you think you stand no chance against in close range combat. If it injures him, awesome but if he blocks it, you can use the window to run away.
The key is just having a clear plan of action with another weapon after you throw away one of your weapons. If it is your only weapon it is generally foolish otherwise.
This same principle is sometimes applied to spear combat in European sources too. I am curious how often spear throwing shows up in Japanese sources.
Yeet!!! All jokes aside once again its very informative to see something like this
Great video, hope you will try more European weapons. Maybe other Asian countries' weapons too.
Like the Dao? Would more or less be the same thing.
some roman gladiator weapons would be interesting to see
Is this an example of what Miamoto Musashi would have described as "tai tai no sen?"
Sorry if I didn't get the Japanese language correct. Thank you
The Art of No Waste.
Dropping the wakizashi and the mic at the same time
Ninjas been real quiet since this video dropped.
Actually they always been pretty quiet x.x
Students of the Niten Ichi-ryū would never throw their swords though, they would get an 🍑whooping from MM himself 😂
I'd love to know what swords do you and Seki Sensei use. If those are some brand's swords or custom made by someone? At least blade length information would be nice to have.
How do different body sizes and builds affect how one should handle these weapons? For example, if Peter Steele (Type O Negative) and Tom Hiddleston were both samurai masters, and they got in a fight, how would you expect their techniques to differ? This is both in terms of height and build.
the question is, what if the wakizashi bounces back and hit you or your leg instead?
What song do you guys use on your videos?? I love that type of music and it's so rare to find
The artist is Hana Fugetsu
@@BeholdTheFuture I meant background music
@@BeholdTheFuture No. I meant the background music, not the intro
🙏👍
Sneaky sensei
Could you tell us more about the idea of a katana and wakizashi being the soul of the samurai?
Also, this video now has 888 likes to 8 dislikes which is auspicious in some western systems due to the triple number. Is there any numerology or sacred numbers in your tradition?
Still hoping out for a video for fighting armored opponents while armored or unarmored.
Please can you do a video about bo/jo vs katana but the katana user is the winner
Very great way of distraction
Bring back the old intro please😅, it was fire🔥
Both are good
@@Ashigaraa Yeah, but i really loved the old one😅
How could you... throw your sword?
Urgh... is this technique... technically legal in context of dueling?
Why would it not?
First?
