Use large strikes the vary with small strikes and movements but most importantly with a good enemy engage their katana
With a katana against a armoured enemy come in close draw their sword down then use the full of a katana to open the chinks in their armour Only this will lead to a sound defeat of your enemy in other words grow a brain and use it to fight with sword fighting in Kyushu Ryu Ninjutsu is about sparring with the katana and you engage the katana
This proves nothing for a samurai as I have a bit of samurai nihonjin anscestory would be in full armour
But remember in battle Vikings unless ulfdenar berserker would be wearing lots of armour but go for the chinks in the armour
The way to sword fight and I'm a descendant of Rollo gradon the first vikingar king of Normans is to engage your enemies sword come around it like water filling all gaps follow it then when a part of the enemies anatomy shows a quick vulnerability make your cuts then finish them once they have been staggered.its very simple follow basic physics such as force equals mass plus acceleration follow the circle the square and the triangle shapes feel the enemies sword space and attack
Part 2 oh yeah! 🥰 Looove me a Tanto!
Big Tanto fan here!
Has Sensei showcased a Tanto before? * searches for 'Tanto' on the channel *
Great video! Would love to see katana + wakizashi compared to side sword/rapier+ buckler 🙂
Shogo can you tell me the name of the music you use for tgese lessons i love the piano
Imagine trying mug "some old dude" with a cane and getting absolutely dismantled 😂
Makes me wonder what he would say about a Zweihänder. There is something truly beautiful about so vastly differently cultures and how they developed things in the past
Wouldn't a real longsword be too heavy to be deflected with a katana when it's a full force swing?
No, longswords are not heavy, they're a little heavier on average than a katana (though there's plenty of overlap in weight), though katana tend to be more blade heavy
Oh yeah! Love me a Kama! 🥰
I was about to ask if he is familiar with inwardly curved blades, any length, but then I saw a thumbnail with a Japanese sickle in the side bar. 🤭🥰 Also very interesting how he would start using a weapon he is not familiar with based upon the skills and training he has with other bladed weapon designs.
The Legend! Seki Sensei is also pretty cool though!
Great stuff! I slomoed some of the movements, haha! And also skipped a bunch to replay.
thank you very much, THIS is really a useful lesson, would be pleased to learn more about safety, rolls and falls
Have you reacted to 47 Ronin? I believe I have seen you talk about this film Shogo.
You guys are awesome!
you are all very likeable :-) good job
I tell my students that there are only two types of samurai: two legged and one legged. The one legged ones did not move their rear leg when using nagashi to dodge the down swing of the katana.
Last 2 months i'v been practicing 2handed reverse grip on longsword. It is awesome addition to more common techniques.
I don't think you could use a Rapier the way he's asking, but something a bit thicker like an Epee with a Triangle or diamond shaped cross section would be able to.
I have watched so many videos of this teacher, and his reflexes seem to be incredible. Observe how he maintains an excellent sense of distance. At times, some of these techniques seemed impossible, but upon rewatch, I realized- he's just that good. It just takes a few minutes to realize how much precision he has put into his footwork.
I'm surprise that there's still no anime about Samurai and Ninja having forbidden love relationship.
I just noticed this but here 2:13 you can see the Buckler and probably even the (rapier?) from previous episodes Glad to see Seki Sensei welcome them into his Dojo! Truly a teacher who loves to learn!!
Even the longsword’s there!! Sugoi!
These videos are always so interesting, I really enjoy the videos of Seki Sensei using European swords. I would love to see Seki Sensei react to the responses to the video from other youtubers.
I found a reaction to your "How Would a Samurai Master Fight with a Longsword?" Video by Skallagrim He shows some uses of using the Longsword himself. Would be very cool if you and Seki Sensei could react to it 😄
how can dai-jodan be used against an opponent running towards you on the battlefield
“It’s scary. I’d rather not fight the rapier.” A truly strong person honestly acknowledges the strength of the other person. Or it may be his military strategy to catch the opponent off guard.
How would a real samurai fight against a rapier? They probably wouldn't try to win unscathed. Perhaps they would intentionally get stabbed by the rapier to stop their opponent from moving and then cut them down.
How to use breathing style?
That's why i prefer to use a medium sized shield paired with igorot axe than a single sword.
I never thought about rolling with a katana. But it makes sense. I will try that in the dojo next time.
The last one was a hard one but now that I know hoe it's my favourite
Several times Seki Sensei draws his blade and imiedietly have it in perfect horizontal position parallell to the floor. It can clearly be seen several times where the blade is perectly alligned with the floor (and wall mount behind). I do not know much about sword movement, but this looks like loong training aiming for perfection. Style and form only? I do not know, but control is not wrong and sometimes a lot matters on a detail. Also, I think one needs both strenght and technique to gain that level of control of such a long blade. I would guess the smallest extra turn of hand, wrist and arm would result in a small angle of the blade resulting in the far end of the blade being slightly more from the intended position. Please forgive my ignorance.
This might seem like a weird idea, but I’d love to see how Seki-Sensei would react to the various lightsabers, like Darth Maul’s saberstaff or a saberpike like the Red Guard use
and then they use naginata.
this is definitely one of those things where people assume what people of a certain culture did based on a single fighting style
also weird that a samurai duel wielding with a shield is less believable to some then with swords
amazing production, no unnecessary stuff only the juicy stuff
🙏👍
You guys have come so far, and your videos are becoming so professional! I'm super impressed!
🙄 99% of swords are designed to thrust hit w the tip it w tip yes ya can slash but hitting vital areas deep inside is how to kill
That's not how you fight with a shield but alright.
I'd be interested in seeing what he think about a claymore, seeing how it's probably much more different to a katana than a longsword.
Thank you💯🙏🏽😊
You should try a greek sword and shield
Hey brother Shogo, the 3 section tamagusari, in the west we call them, "Bolo," and have used them for a couple of centuries. Love your videos brother!
Seki Sensais comments are simply a matter of the difference between choreography and martial combat. It looks great for film but would get you killed in RL.
