Seki sensei is not only the 22nd headmaster of Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 400 years of history, but he also has been training in Kendo since he was 3 years old and is in the 5th Dan. He is the best person in Japan to react to this famous video.

By watching this video, you will learn how kendo and kenjutsu techniques specifically differ and what advantages and weaknesses they have. I’m sure you will hear opinions that you’ve never listened to any other Budo master explaining, so please watch till the end to find out about all of them.

However, please understand that we know that this video was made for fun, and the people participating in it are doing it as an experiment. We have no intention of denying other Budo, Ryuha, or individuals.

*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

The management (filming, editing, etc.) of this new Asayama Ichiden Ryu's English Channel "Let's ask Seki Sensei" is completely Shogo’s voluntary work. If he is not able to pay for the expensive bullet train fare from Kyoto to Ibaraki Prefecture (where the main Dojo is located), and hotel/filming expenses, this activity will cease. Please help us spread and preserve this 400-year-old martial art. In return, we will try our best to create the most educational and exciting content about Japanese Kobudo.

▼Seki sensei's Ultimate Dream▼
"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.
