🧐Frequently Asked Questions About Our Online Lessons:
Q❓: I have no experience with katana. 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.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

I’m going to follow this series with attention! Thanks for sharing your techniques! To me it’s unbelievably fascinating how the first technique of the Koteuchi 22 Kajo is almost identical to our first technique of the Fiore de Liberi manual. I am looking forward to watch more of this and enjoy both the similarities and the differences between the styles! I hope one day to have the luck to discuss them in person. Cheers! Federico

[@MrRagequitnow]

I have some training in the Epee and Rapier, my childhood friend's father was a French naturalized American, that competed on world level. He trained me some to be his son's, sparring dummy. I am a visual learner, I wish YT was a thing 30+ years ago, just 10 minutes in, I've learned so much already. I can not wait for the next two parts!

[@堀高士-p5y]

小手打22ヶ条パート1という事は、続きがあるんですね。 楽しみにしています。 ありがとうございました。

[@TheCCBoi]

Wow, Seki Sensei is so smooth!

[@Mountain.Man.1978]

Seki Sensei uses quick moves that are not too complex, he just knows when to do them. He’s awesome, I love learning the moves.

[@ironicrite2009]

One of the bets if not best the best video. Beautiful techniques. ❤ Love to all of you, Seki Sensei, Tsukada san and Shogo san!

[@NinjaAttorneyAtLaw]

This has been my favorite episode. I can't wait for more!

[@DubiousDubs]

This channel is probably my favorite kenjutsu sources on the internet. Very well explained, no wasted time, in a format that i can easily understand. Excellent translations too, *and* from a school that does sparring? This is a shining example of how to run a channel, props to you guys

[@cmoralesmsae]

Very useful tips. I’ll be sure to surprise my HEMA friends with them 😈

[@williamperry118]

Love the opening

[@MZero8099]

Fundamentals are incredibly valuable. Thank you for sharing these techniques!

[@Sbv-25]

Very useful video! There’s more to parries than what most movies and games show us

[@MatthewWalker_93_]

Absolutely amazing

[@amsknirb]

I've watched a few videos so far and I think this is the first one where you can really see the speed of Seki Sensei. Amazing to see!

[@JustinHiryu]

What I really like about the last two techniques is that if your opponent is not fully prepared or if they are not gripping their sword properly, your strike to their blade could very well knock their sword from their grasp to the ground. Another thing is if your opponent is on soft ground, dirt, or sand, you could knock their tip into the ground, causing it to get stuck.

[@maxxcarver5502]

Skallagim sent over! Loved your "reviews" of the Long sword and Halberd!! of course the Rapier too! 😁 thank you for the Great content! 🙏 I'll be around to check more of your videos, for sure.

[@maxxcarver5502]

UNPARALLELED FUNDAMENTAL STRATEGIES 🔥❤️‍🔥GRATEFUL ♾️

[@kingfish4575]

How hard is it to start with the online group?

[@warrikata]

It's not hard at all. When new students show up, the senseis cover the basics in more detail for them, and it's a good review for everyone. With classes on both Saturday and Sunday, it's really quite convenient.

[@KateJohn2013England]

Hi 👋 Just click on Patreon link above and pick the lesson you want😊 Every body is really friendly 👍It's like a big family ❤ Hope this helps 👍 Take care. Stay safe 🙏 John and Kate

[@dezsomodos1314]

Not hard at all. Doing the techniques as well as you see is hard.

[@butchpierson1515]

Sorry for the NOOB question. Can you explain to me the belt ranking in your style of Iaido/Kenjutsu. Thank you

[@AlanWakeGames]

thank you for such good and informative content, it's a pity that I can't come to your magical country now, but I would really like to, because even here in Ukraine, we are very interested in your arts, especially in swords, I would really like to buy at least one real Japanese sword

[@viersangkaha158]

I am curious; is Asayama Ichiden ryū related to some famous kenjutsu ryuha such as Yagyū Shinkage ryū or Taisha ryū, if not does Seki sensei personally know any headmasters from other famous ryuha

[@ukrainianhiphop]

I realize Kendo is sport but why do Kendo cross the wrist on their cuts?
