The opponent in front of you tries to attack.

With a reverse grip, you upper-cut the opponent’s hand trying to draw, and swing down vertically.

…

-

You must remember that both the swing up and down must be vertical.

…

Your grip must be gentle and loose for the katana to flip in front of you.

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.
