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 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.

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.

Seeing how much control and confidence Seki Sensei has in every movement is truly incredible. So skillful and fluid.

Reminds me on a certain meme about "throw the pommel and end the enemy rightly".

Technically legal...

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 😂

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.

Wakizashi i choose you!

Love your style love from Texas!

Does Seki Sensei practice archery as well? It would be neat to see a Yumi or maybe the daikyu in action.

Young master teach awesome lessons 👏 😎 👌

Awesome. There's a lot of finesse at work here.

There is a technique in Togakure Ryu for throwing the wakizashi called Itto Nage.

That was so cool I appreciate it when you make these videos very much!

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.

Can you try using the khopesh sword? It would be really interesting to see you try it.

It's entertaining to see sensei Seth teach us an amazing move from many martial arts weapon !!!❤❤❤

Thank you for your videos.

Excellent techniques. I love these.

Yeet!!! All jokes aside once again its very informative to see something like this

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 :))

The Art of No Waste.

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

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.

Still hoping out for a video for fighting armored opponents while armored or unarmored.

the question is, what if the wakizashi bounces back and hit you or your leg instead?

🙏👍

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?

Please can you do a video about bo/jo vs katana but the katana user is the winner
