Lets ask Seki Sensei | Online Katana Lessons | Jō Staff Training at Home @letsasksekisensei | Uploaded 9 months ago | Updated 3 hours ago
In our Shunjō videos, Seki Sensei always makes the techniques look very easy. However, for beginners, handling a Jō is very difficult and very different from using a katana. At first, you must start practicing swinging from the Suburi to get used to handling it. You might think, “Oh, ok, there’s a couple of warmup exercises, nice.” No, just Suburi, there are about 20 different kinds.
So today, Seki sensei, the 22nd headmaster of Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 400 years of history, will introduce the first 6 Shunjō Suburi that beginners must train. These Suburi can be trained independently at home, so it’s the best way for anyone interested in Jō training to get started. Also, it’s the requirements for the Dan promotion exams of our online Shunjō class, so I hope our members can watch this video many times to review the basics. By the way, tickets for the 3-day training camp in Japan held by Seki Sensei and Let's ask Shogo are now on sale! Check out our Patreon page for more information!

The Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu, of which Seki Sensei is the 22nd headmaster, was one of the most popular Ryuha styles during the Edo period. In our golden age, we had over 7,000 students nationwide. Today, we only have 100 students. Our dream is to revive the golden age of Asayama Ichiden Ryu while Seki Sensei is still the headmaster. We want future generations to remember Seki Sensei as the legendary Sōké who brought back the glory of our Ryuha.
Your donations will be used to cover Shogo's travel expenses to visit the main dojo from Kyoto, YouTube video shooting costs, online lesson operation costs, and training camps in Japan and overseas.
