I wanted to respond to Seki Sensei's intriguing video of him trying out a longsword for the first time. As a person myself, who started his sword journey in traditional Japanese martial arts and then moving to HEMA, his experience resonated deeply with me. In a sea of "VS" videos, it was awesome to see one like this.
