I am very impressed. I had of course heard of the "war-fans" but I had dismissed them as an invention of story writers and manga artists. To learn what they actually look like and how they were used was very exciting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

In the Sino fiction about Justice Bao, one of the 七俠五義 is known for his use of the iron fan. For his one, it's said the edge of the fan is capped with sharp pieces of metal, that can cut like a knife, when the fan is slashed at an opponent.

As an old saying goes: "Looks can be deceiving".....Fans doesn't look like a threat at all, but I can tell you this that it can be very useful, especially for atemi strike to the eye and so on and so forth. Excellent video series and hope to see Seki Sensei on-line course some day.

I have a wooden fan with a big tanto inside. The blade is from the 15 century and the wooden saya is later, probably 17 century

@corycianangel6321 Жыл бұрын

I’ve always loved the idea of fans used as weapons, ever since I played Kitana in Mortal Kombat. I never knew that they are also used in real life, and I’m happy that it’s possible! It look really great as self-defense and it’s nice to learn about the techniques used in there.

@rolandgdean Жыл бұрын

The distraction "atemi" with the tassel in Part 2 reminds me of the only "strike" my Aiki-Jitsu Sensei taught us. The only time he recommended hitting someone was as a distraction so that the greater technique would be more effective.

@ren7a8ero Жыл бұрын

I was thinking a bit about that, the way samurai used to develop methods for turning every available resource as a weapon. In a way, such specialized thinking is akin to the Greek philosophers of old times, whose lives were also devoted only to taking an idea, concept or argument to its last consequences. My uttermost respect for those devoted to keep such traditions alive.

Thank you for the video. I'm suprised that some Tessen don't open up. Kind of seemed counter-productive to me, but turns out, that had some use too. As for questions: Are there any actual techniques that makes it look to the enemy as if you were going to attack from one point, when you will actually go for another point? Or is it just an idea that came from Anime? (Like fighting scenes using "after-images" or something similar)

The Tessen are by far one of my favorite weapons. I see many katas preformed with different weapons. Are there any katas for the Tessen? I have only ever seen one hand fan performance at a tournament with metal fans with Chinese choligraphy. But I'm not sure what style they were from.

So this begs the question: would a samurai carry an additional bamboo/paper fan for cooling down in addition to the war fan? Because it seems the war fan would not be very good for cooling down, and I think that is still important. 😂

I'm sorry that my comment isn't relevant to this video, but can Sensei comment on how his swords are retained in his belt? In previous videos, it seems like he can very easily slide them in and out of his belt and I wonder if they could fall or lose their proper position easily if someone had to run, climb, tumble, etc. while wearing them in this way. Were there other ways of setting the swords in the belt for greater security? Thanks so much!

Such iron fan are perfect to make as lethal weapon too. The steel piece could make it sharp, and conceal with high quality paper. When your life get threatened, use the steel stick to pierce your enemy. Just hold it like Wolverines Claw. Deadly yet artistic.
