Appreciation must be shown for Seki-sensei's Shidachi, especially in this episode in which he experiences some painful moments!

@DuyNguyen-if8bh Год назад

Besides those amazing techniques demonstrated by Sensei, I really love Tsukada-san. He has been training with Sensei through many different Katas and many time for each Kata, but every time Sensei give a illustration, he is genuinely excited and surprised as a student learns a new lesson. Feel little bit sorry for him by each time he gets hurt during Taka, but when he stands up from the fall, the smile always blooming on his face.

Wow! The wrist lock technique shown at time index: 5:30 is the same as the Nikyo joint lock taught in Aikido. Very nicely done! We would often use a Jo to do the same wrist lock in Aikido class. From what I see in the video, a wooden Tanto could serve as a substitute. If you didn't have a wooden Tessen (fan) to use in class. 😱😳😊😊

@taobarb1 Год назад

Much appreciation for Seki Sensei’s kind willingness to share these elegant techniques! As part of our jujutsu training, we engage with small hidden weapons such as suntetsu and “found” weapons and tessen, which I became fascinated with when I trained in Kung fu. Tessen jutsu is really a wonderful practice, precisely because tessen increases leverage and is a beautiful thing for improving kyusho jutsu. Since it’s a tool and weapon one would carry - and is still carried in everyday life, it was and is a great “everyday carry” weapon. I loved the metal balls carried within the knot! A couple of my tessen have sharpened staves and function almost as tanto, but the more hidden element was wonderful to learn about. Thank you again to Seki Sensei and to you, of course! 🥋🙏🥋

@larimatolaganon4946 10 месяцев назад

This was very informative. Dungeon and dragons just released a play test for Bards which included a new Dancing Bard subclass. I am playing one who uses a pair of iron fans for performance and combat, so these video's were really helpful to show how she would use them as a real weapon.

@tuxlupus2378 Год назад

As a Ju Jitsu practitioner it is great to see some techniques that can be supplemented with the tessen. Also really nice how Seki Sensei shows Atemi against Kyusho (vital) points in this video. Thank you very much!

@rolandgdean Год назад

I keep seeing SO many techniques that are SO similar to the Aiki-Jitsu I learned from my master. I would LOVE to see what Seki Sensei does if anyone could manage to disarm him. Not likely to happen but, I would LOVE to see his techniques for this.

This looks like the feudal japan version of a kubaton or tactical pen. Just like kubatons are now I doubt this was practical even then but it is beautiful to watch and a really neat piece of history.

Kubota/tactical pens are based off the tonbo/ yawara short stick. They are and were effective and practical in close quarters

Has the disarm of the katana with the sickle that is shown in the opening been covered in a video yet? I've watched every video but may of just missed it somehow if it has. Really enjoying this content. I wish there was somewhere near me in the UK that taught this style, I would drive 2 hours or more just for the training sessions quite happily.

@fuggleeartshow Год назад

I enjoyed seeing the tessen in use, especially how taijutsu forms the basis of pretty much all figting. I have seen similar movements in jujutsu styles, and I know first hand what that feels like 😂, but I miss the training.

When I was a Child in the 60's and my Father was stationed at R.A.A.F Butterworth in Penang , both of my Parents trained in Ju Jutsu, my Mother trained with the Tessen, and carried a Fan all the time, her favourite "daytime" fan was made of Wood with engraved brass ornamentation , she still has it and 4 of her " evening " fans

@madeleineg2049 Год назад

Thank you for the video. Seki-sensei showed so many different options. I liked the part, were he disarmed the opponent with a katana with just a tessen, the most. Maybe it's just my sense of justice, but I liked that it would hurt more the more aggressive the opponent is. I hope the test opponent is alright... That looked painful... The video makes me want to practise with a tessen, too. 😂

@davefletch3063 Год назад

Another great video. This is an outstanding series.

@NYKgjl10 Год назад

Another solid video of the tessen application. Prior to my Karate journey, I was in Hakko Ryu Jujutsu for nearly half a decade, and we did tons of wrist lock from kote gaeshi to shio-nage and I've noticed several wrist locks which brings back memories. It's painful, but very rewarding knowledge to take home.

Could probably do most of these with an expandable baton, with or without expanding it. Just remove the padded handle, or make one with a pentagonal, or hexagonal shape to be more rigid than a square shape, while maintaining a pointy edge.

@siekensou77 Год назад

batons are usually round though, this has corners. there was one tessen that wasnt a real fan. that would be closer to your square baton

Hello, big fan of the channel! I wonder if the Japanese fans can be opened when fighting and how that may look? I heard was used to deflect arrows, signal troops, cool off, throw knifes, hide attacks, but are there tessen katas with openning it? I've tried searching for it, but mostly found it as an art form dance. Would love a part 3 on this topic if is relevant!

@pamar0 Месяц назад

I practice Aikido, and in the current school I am working with we have a bit of tessen too. We normally use a (wooden) tanto though, because sourcing practice tessens has been very difficult for us. Any ideas where I could buy a few? (I am travelling to Tokyo later this year, so even if it was just a shop without any internet presence I could still try to go there in person)

@serenewolf6267 Год назад

Most of these tecniques are really cool and i could see many being usefull. Two i dont think would be useful and even dangerous to attempt are the one that requires blocking a sword and the overhand fist.. the sword moves too fast and nobody throws overhand fists like that. If someone has a knife like that, its going to move too fast to catch.
