• 8th Dan Iaido Master E...
Seki Sensei’s father was also an Iaido master, and he learned Muso Shiden Ryu from his father when he was 9 years old. I have many friends worldwide who train in this Ryuha, so I thought many people would benefit from videos of Seki Sensei introducing his skills.
So today, Seki sensei, an 8th Dan Iaido master with 40 years of experience in Musō Shiden Ryu, will introduce 6 Kata in parts 1 and 2 of this video. However, please understand that there are many different versions of the Kata of Musō Shiden Ryu, and what we introduce in this video is what Seki Sensei has learned from his father. It is not the absolute way of performing the techniques, and we have no intention of denying other versions.
*The content of our videos is based on the teachings of Asayama Ichiden Ryu and personal studies/experience | There is no intention of denying other Ryuha styles, theories, and cultural aspects

"To revive the golden age of Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 7,000 students nationwide"
Asayama Ichiden Ryu was once the number one Ryuha in Japan during the Edo period (1603~1868), with more than 7,000 students throughout the country. Seki Sensei hopes to restore as much of the glory of this era as possible while he himself is the 22nd headmaster. Please help and support us in this endeavor.

The Muso Shinden Ryu version of Omori Ryu was part of the curriculum at the Kenjutsu school I went to, but with slightly different Reishiki.

I'm loving these lessons, specially because Seki's Sensei right hand student is the best actor ever, xD the man closes his eyes like Seki Sensei is really gonna hit him, but he also looks at every single point Seki Sensei explains as though it was his first day in the dojo. good job to all of you!

I remember watching Dad do Shohatto for his nidan test. I was eight. I had seen him do some other things when I was smaller -- there's a picture of me with his training wakizashi, I was small enough it was pretty much katana-length to me -- but that was the first time I had ever seen him put that "master focus" on his technique. Watching Seki-sensei do it, and it looks exactly like I remembered 30yrs ago? That hit HARD. It's almost like being in a foreign land for along enough to learn the native language, and then encountering someone who speaks your mother tongue. Arigato, Seki-sensei.

@jakefisher-psalm23 11 ай бұрын

Fantastic video, as always. Seki Sensei knows kata from two different schools of Iaido (be it katana, wakizashi, or tanto), *AND* kata of the jo (two different lengths if I remember), sickles, ball-chain, throwing spikes/stars, empty-handed, etc. etc. etc. How does all that info fit in one brain?? You are truly amazing to this westerner, Seki Sensei. You're pretty cool too, Shogo. 🥰

I’ve been practicing Musō Shindenryū since November 2008, and like seeing different interpretations of the koryūkata. Some have more some have less. I’ve heard of the first bunkai of seichūtō as well, but focused more one cutting both wrists. I’ll focus on the other version cutting one wrist more.

Hello I love this chanel. Lot of wisdom. I have a question. In Inyo Shintay, at the end there is an stomach slash when the second oponen attacks. There are no risks to get hit in the head with the inertia of the attack? How you deal with that kind of situations?

@pensmith 11 ай бұрын

In a previous video there was a comment on how chiburi's purpose and use in some kata's has lost its purpose as blood doesn't really get removed from the blade with a flick. Does the chiburi in this kata fulfill the intended purpose of situational awareness after a blow in this case? What would be his response in that pose if the opponent recovered in such a situation?

@user-ge3dl6co3s 11 ай бұрын

The sword is pointed at the opponent, so you can just stab it.

@vmx23 11 ай бұрын

The iaido school I visited taught the chiburi move as an additional cut just in case the opponent is not completely down. It wasn’t taught as a chiburi at all as back then, samurai wipes the blood away with a cloth.

@R3DSHlFT 11 ай бұрын

I believe it was in another video he explained that the chiburui came with the street performers, and that there wouldn't be that much blood on the blade in the 1st place. I also train in iaido and our sensei also just says that the only chiburui that works is cloth, and then 'jokingly' say that there's the opponent clothing for

Another great video 🙏 I have a question for you, Shogo-san: you practice MJER for 8 years, and you didn’t fully understand the Kata’s - did your MJER Sensei don’t teach you about the meaning of them?

I am curious as to how tall Sensei is… His blade seems longer than that of an “average“ katana, as a viewer with no other context, it appears to be more of an o-katana… I realize there is no question mark anywhere in what I wrote, but it is a question. Thank you for another interesting and entertaining video! 🙏

Good morning Seki sensei, in the same series, there is koranto, the only standing kata. At the end of the kata, just right before noto, people make a right step back. I see, some make a full step, some half step, and others a small step. I’m wondering how you would do it. In the case of a small step, how would you explain that? Thank you.
